We are in another final!!! . After a well deserved win over Rathmore in Ballymac last Wednesday we are through to the final of division 3 county league. We got off to a good start with points from Liam O’ Malley, Dara Reagan, and Josh putting us 3 points up after 5 minutes. Rathmore then pointed from a free.Midway through the half 5 further points were scored inside 5 minutes. Two were from Rathmore and 3 for Ballymac with our scorers being Dara Keane, Liam O’Malley, and a Dara Reagan free. A goal attempt from far out by the visitors brought a fine save from Brian Lonergan. Our opponents finished the half strongly with two late points. The half time score was Ballymac 0-6 Rathmore 0-5.
We made a fine start to the second half. Keelan was fouled and found Dara Reagan with a quick free and he got our first point of the half. Soon after confusion in the Rathmore goalmouth from a Dara Reagan free was taken advantage of by Barry Lyons who found the net. Liam O’ Malley pointed and then turned provider for Josh who also pointed. We were now 7 points ahead but Rathmore were not giving up. The scored a goal and two points inside 4 minutes to reduce the lead to two points. However Ballymac responded and Josh put Dara Reagan through for a fine long range point. A fine piece of defending by Liam O’ Malley interrupted a visitors attack and Dara Keane pointed for us. He scored again a few minutes later. Again it was Liam O’ Malley going full stretch to block a certain score. Eddie Rodgers and Eoin O’ Malley were in fine form in defence and our opponents could not get the goal they needed.
