The official opening of our revamped pitch will take place on Saturday 25th Feb.
It will be a very exciting occasion with the Kerry Senior Team taking on Kildare in a challenge game. Kieran McGeeney’s Kildare have committed to bringing a full strength squad for the game. Throw in for the game is 2.30pm.
At half time in the match the 2012 Ballymac U10 teams (Boys and Girls) will play in an exhibition game. This team will also form a guard of honour for the teams as they leave the dressing rooms.
All registered juveniles will be entered into a draw to choose two mascots (one for each team). This draw will take place at the next Club meeting under the stewardship of Coiste Na Nog Chairman Jer Lynch.
This promises to be a massive day for the club and to ensure its smooth running a large number of stewards form the club will be required on the day. Anyone interested in helping out please contact Club Secretary Kieran Savage on 087 2221720, or any club officer.

Two further points from Aiden Breen and Genie Griffin left the half time score 1-04 to 0-02. The second half began with Churchill scoring 1-01 in five minutes. Ballymac then regained control and added four points and a goal by Genie Griffin. The game was ended as a contest with further points from Breen and a brace by Cathal DeLacey.
