FAOI 12: Ballymac Gold Team 5-12 Currow B 4-08
Last Friday night we played Currow in the final of Castleisland District League in Castleisland Desmonds pitch. Currow came into this as the favourites as they had previously beaten us in the league stage. We started brightly and raced into a 2-02 to 0-01 lead after ten minutes. Currow came back at us and with twenty minutes gone we were leading by just one point on a score line of Ballymac 2-04 Currow 2-03. We put over four points before the break to leave us leading by five. We started the second half again in great form and put 1-2 on the score line without reply. Now Currow got going and with their constant pressure they pulled us back to a four point lead. Up steped our lads and great credit must be given to them as they showed great heart and determination in the final five minutes to win by seven points in the end. Our captain on the night was Adam O’ Keefe and he gave a wonderful speech where he thanked coaches, referee, his teammates also he thanked Currow for a great game & Castleisland District Board before he lifted the Trophy aloft to great cheers for everyone.
As this was our last game of the season coaches Jack Culloty, Liam Joy, Fintan Kelly & Jer Lynch would like to thank all the players for their commitment and dedication through out the season and also to Eddie o Connell & Gene o Keefe who helped out on a number times over the course of the year. Our Gold team have finished the year as Castleisland District Div 1B Champions, Div 1 Central Region Champions, runners up in Div 4 & Div 3 of County league. Well done lads.

Pride of place this week goes to our 4 Ballymac girls Cora Savage, Catriona Sommers, Emily O Donoghue and Roisin Long who were part of the Kerry U11 Development Squad who were victorious in a tournament held in Clare on Saturday last.
