U12 County League Div 3 Semi Final:
AUSTIN STACKS 1-05
Our girls produced a rip roaring performance in Ballymac on Tue night to claim a spot in the county league final with a great win over Austin Stacks. Despite having lost to Stacks in the league a couple of weeks earlier the girls played with great passion and an unreal ”will to win” attitude. We started the game very well and had the first three points on the board, all from Cora Savage. Stacks responded with a goal and a point to tie the game. However our girls refused to let this set back affect them and further points from Cora (2) and Ashling O Connell saw us lead at the break 0-07 to 1-03. The second half began in a Ballymac blitz with Cora (2) and three points in a row from the ever willing Emily O Donoghue stretching the lead to six points. Stacks pressed hard but found the Ballymac defence in fantastic form. Kepper Ellie Sugrue was rock solid and the fullback line of Cait Rice, Caoimhe Carroll and Eve Creedon were in fine form. Stacks scored two points but once again we replied with two more points from Cora.
The halfback line of Lisa Curran, Sinead McKeown and Roisin Long never gave an inch and removed all the Stacks attacking threat. Midfielders Ashling O Connell and Catriona Somers gave an amazing display. The final score of the game came from a fine long range point by Lisa Curran. Our forward line also played very well with Caroline Hurley linking up very well at center forward with the super Emily O Donoghue and Cora Savage. The full forward line of Yvonne Hurley, Ellie McElligott and Cathy Palmer did really well also. We have a great panel of players and all the subs played their part when introduced. Final Score: Ballymac 0-15 Austin Stacks 1-05. We now await the winner of the Castleisland Desmonds/Dr Crokes semi final
