Moyvane 3-03
Ballymac 2-04
We played our first game of the year away to Moyvane in the North Kerry League on Sunday last. Ballymac took the game to Moyvane from the start and were 2-02 to 1-02 ahead at the break. Moyvane upped their game in the second half and it was very close for all of the half. Our girls can consider themselves very unlucky to go down by two points. We done to all 18 girls who made the trip. Next game is at home to Castlegregory – date and time will follow.
