Ballymac 2-08
Firies 3-05
Following a bit of a wait we played Firies in the Div 4 semi final in Ballymac on Thursday 12th . It turned out to be a great game with both teams enjoying periods of dominance , we’d a great start scoring 3 points from our first 3 attacks . Firies came more into the game after that scoring 1-1 but we responded again scoring 2 more points before half time . We conceded an early goal in the second half but we responded very positively and 2 goals from Mary Healy and points from Rachel Godley and Aine Rice saw us lead by 5 pts with 10mins to go . Firies scored 2 points and with the last kick of the game they goaled to take it to a replay . Final score Ballymac 2-8 Firies 3-5
Replay was played in glorious sunshine on Sun evening in Farranfore . A tighter game this time with defences on top for both sides . Claire Kenny and Michela Murphy playing quite well for Ballymac in defense and good play from U12 Ashling O Connell who scored 2 points and Aine Rice saw us lead by 5 pts to 4 pts at half time . A very strong 2nd half display from midfielders Leah O Neill and captain fantasic Rose Ann O Shea and centre back Tara Murphy helped us finish out 1-8 to 5pts winners , our goal coming from Therese Keane from a great pass by Cora Savage . Our backs all played very well on the night and a feature was their covering for each other , our U12s Eve , Lisa , Ashling and Cora really contributed too, Aine Rice played her heart out and Rose Ann O Shea led by example.
We play Laune Rangers B in the final on Sunday 22nd June in Farranfore at 7pm. Well done to the girls and well deserved final appearance for them to look forward to now

Goals from Cora Savage, Caroline & Yvonne Hurley and points from Cora, Ellie McElligott and Ashling O Connell left the halftime score Desmonds 1-07 Ballymac 3-06. Our defence was under alot of pressure in the second half but great displays by captain Caoimhe Carroll, Lisa Curran, Sinead McKeown, Eve Creedon and new goalie Ellie Sugrue meant we stood firm.
