On Monday 17th of April Ballymac were away to Ardfert in the Central District U16 competition. This was a tough assignment and the Ballymac boys had to work hard to stay in touch. Ardfert had three points on the board before Brian Cassidy kicked a point for Ballymac. Four more points from Ardert left Ballymac trailing by six points. David Rogers cut the deficit to three when he got on the end of a high ball to finish it to the back of the Ardfert net. Ardfert tagged on three more points to leave the half time score at Ardfert 0-10 to Ballymac 1-01.
Ardfert started the second half the brighter and had registered two more points before Aidan O’ Brien kicked a point for Ballymac. Two more points from the home side put Ballymac nine points in arrears. A free from David Rogers ended up in the Ardfert net and four more points from each side left the final score at Ardfert 0-18 Ballymac 2-06. Ballymac never gave up and tried hard to the finish. Eoghan Kenny in goals kept a clean sheet and he was ably assisted by his backs, particularly Cian Godley, Ciaran Brosnan, and Liam O’ Brien. Dylan Dunne Moriarty worked tirelessly at midfield. Best of the forwards were Daragh Leen, Brian Cassidy, David Rogers, Adam Joy, and Sean Horan.
