We travelled to Castleisland to take part in U15 super touch competition run by the County Board for the Castleisland District Clubs. On the day only Ballymac & Castleisland Desmonds took part in the competition. The game was played in wonderful sunshine with Ballymac getting off to a great start and racing into a six-point lead. Castleisland got moving at this stage and by half time they were leading by one point.
The second half was a real cracker with both teams matching each other for scores. With one minute gone in injury time Ballymac got the equalising point to force extra time. Things didn’t go our way in extra time against a much physically stronger Desmond’s team who ran out convincing winners.
We would like to wish Brian Cassidy a speedy recovery after picking up an injury on the day. Thanks also to Micheal Quirke for organising this competition and to all the players who attended, and our selectors Stephen O’ Brien, Jack Culloty & Jer Lynch

Our final session of the year took place last Sunday the 30th of October when we welcomed Glanmire, Cork and Kerins O’Rahilly’s to Ballymac for challenge games. We had great games on the day and we would like to thanks both our visiting clubs. A great way to conclude the season.
On behalf of the committee of Ballymac Coiste Na n’Og many thanks to all the parents and players for making 2016 a great year for both the boys and girls clubs.
TRALEE CBS U15 TEAM
Well done to Ballymac players Dylan Dunne Moriarty, Daragh Leen and Daragh Broderick who were part of the Tralee CBS Squad which qualified for the U15 Munster Colleges A Final with a victory over Rochestown College.
They now face old rivals St. Brendans Killarney in the Final due to be played in mid November.
