Played Easter Monday our boys played some suoerb football on the night and came away with a great win.
Ballymac 2-04 Castleisland Desmonds 2-04: Last Sunday morning our U16’s played their last game in Central Region and with a hard fought draw on the day they have qualified for the semi final. This was a tough game of football and great credit must be given to the lads for the huge effort they put in. As all games in Divison 2 of the Central Region have not been finished yet, we are still not sure who we are playing in the semi finals this coming weekend. Check web-site for more details
FAOI 14: ST SENANS 4-3 BALLYMAC 1-3
We travelled to Mountcoal last Wednesday evening to play St Senans in our fourth County League game. It was an unusually low scoring first half, the first point coming from Senans after ten minutes. We found it very difficult to move the ball beyond midfield and so our defence,( in which Cian Godley, Tadhg Brick and Darragh Leen were in fine form) were under constant pressure. Senans goaled just before half time and we were five points down at the break.
Diarmuid Lynch gave us hope early in the second half with a well taken goal. The next ten minutes belonged to the opposition with Senans scoring another 2-1. Josh , David Nolan and Cathal were driving forward but scores were hard to come by. Points were scored by Daire Keane (2) and Diarmuid (1) but Senans went up field and again goaled to seal victory. It was great to see so many people travel to support us and hopefully when we have everyone injury free we will have more to cheer about. Our final County League game is at home to Kenmare this Wednesday evening.
