CAILINI FAOI 14
Ladies U14 North KERRY League Division 1 (Blue Team)
Due to a large panel of players Ballymac Girls U14 has the pleasure in entering two teams in the North Kerry League.
having one team does not offer everyone sufficient game time and this way all players will see a lot of football.
The Blue team competes in Division 1 and the Gold team competes in Division 3.
The Campaign for the Blue Team began Saturday 27th in Ballymac against County League Division 1 side Listowel @ 12pm & Denis Sayers was the appointed Referee.
Ballymac got off to a great start winning the throw in and Cora Savage pointed from the exchange.
Ballymac hit a purple patch that never faded and went in at half time 1-16 to no score. Management & Supporters were very happy and all instructions were taken on board.
The opportunity to empty the subs bench was taken Cora Savage was replaced due to a leg Injury but with seven points kicked at that stage she had more than earned the rest.
Ballymac went on to kick a further 3-4 to finish the game 4-20 to 1-02.
To give Listowel their credit they fought right to the end and later revealed they were missing one or two of their Panel.
Great praise must go to the defensive effort of the Ballymac backs who held out wave after wave of attack and produced some great counter attacking.
The whole performance was a team effort from one to eighteen so to single anyone out would be an injustice to the others.
Captain for the game was Caroline Hurley who gave a commanding performance between the sticks.
We wish Cora Savage a swift recovery and expect to see her back on the playing field very soon.
