Ballymac 3-07Ardfert 1-09
Our U 16s played Ardfert in Round 3 of the Tralee District league in Ballymac on yesterday.
Our Boys got off to a wonderful start and we were 3 points to the good after 10 mins . Ardfert responded with 2 points , but our boys were soon in control when two Sean Horan Goals put us in a great position with 7 mins left in the half . An excellent point from James Kenny put us further ahead and it was looking good at the interval with Ballymac leading 2 04 to 3 points .
Ardfert came out in typical Ardfert fashion for the second half and scored 5 points on the trot to leave 2 points between the sides . A beautiful point from Denis Brosnan settled us again , but when Adam Kelly struck for Goal shortly after , it was looking good once more .
However Ardfert never gave up and scored a goal of their own to narrow the gap to 3 points again . However a further point from Adam Joy gave us a 4 point lead on the final score of Ballymac 3 07 Ardfert 1 09 .
Adam Kelly was outstanding in defence as was Denis Brosnan & Daragh Sweeney. Cathal Culloty & Adam Joy worked hard in midfield, Donal Daly, Maurice O’Connell, Gary Lynch & James Kenny played well up front . Mossie Brennan was in outstanding form when introduced.
This was ideal preparation for our final against Austin Stacks next Sunday and I’m sure with another gutsy performance on Sunday , the Town League Trophy could be on its way to Ballymac on Sunday afternoon.
Thanks to Ardfert for a fine sporting Game & thanks to all parents for their support on the night .
