U12 GIRLS
Beale/Ballyduff 3-02
Ballymac 2-07
The under 12 girls travelled to Ballybunion on Sunday morning to take on a combination of Beale/Ballyduff and came out on top by 2 points to keep their unbeaten run in the North Kerry League going.This was by far the toughest game so far, but the girls dug deep in the second half to take the 2 points.It was a great team performance with all six backs playing well in the first half against the wind.With Emily O Donoghue driving them on from midfield ending the half with 1-01 to her name ably assisted by Grainne Galvin we ended the half 2-02 to 2-01 a point ahead the other 1-01 coming from Kate O Connor.The first 15 minutes of the second half saw the locals put us under alot of pressure but the girls weathered the storm and with four points from the boot of Emily from play and frees and one from a free from Alyssa Leen saw us finish ahead by two at the final whistle.
TEAM: Laura O Shea, Sophie O Donoghue, Roisin Long(c), Ellie Linehan, Laura Dunne, Sinead McKeown, Cathy Palmer, Emily O Donoghue, Grainne Galvin, Kate O Connor, Yvonne Hurley, Ciara Palmer, Eimear Curran, Aoife Galvin, Emma Leen.

The under 12 girls played their second game in Div 2 of the North Kerry League against neighbours Castleisland Desmond’s on Monday the 9th of March in Ballymac and ran out comfortable winners on a score line of 5-06 to 2-01. Missing a number of senior girls on the panel the younger panel members acquitted themselves excellently. Led by Sinead McKeown in defence we gave the visitors very little opportunities in the first half.Emily O Donoghue at midfield was providing plenty possession for the forwards with Eimear Curran ending the half with 2-01 to her name along with 2 points From Aoife Galvin and one from Emily. Desmonds responded strongly at the start of the second half with 2 goals, but our girls dug deep and took control of the game with a goal each from Eimear and Aoife and a point from Emma Leen to finish the scoring. Along with the girls mentioned above, others to play well were Sophie O Donoghue and Laura Dunne in defence and Kate O Connor and Ciara Palmer in the forwards.
