County League 2023
Ballymac V Laune Rangers
Round 3
Venue: Ballymacelligott Date: 3rd May 2023
U16 Girls
Following a fantastic victory over Kerins O’Rahillys in Round 2 we welcomed Laune Rangers to Ballymac for the latest round of the Co League on Wednesday evening last.
The Killorglin side’s ability to score goals in the first half saw them lead at half time, they continued to dominate the second half to run out deserved winners, full credit to our Girls who never gave up, some resolute defending kept the Laune Rangers attack at bay on many occasions, while our forwards worked well to create and take some nice scores.
Our cause wasn’t helped due to players missing due to unavailability and injuries, hopefully we will have these players available for our next against Kilcummin.
Amongst the injured players are Katie Hobbert and Laura West who we wish a speedy recovery and we hope to see them back in a Ballymac jersey in the not too distant future.

Beale 1-10 Ballymac 1-06
Venue: Ballybunion Date: 5th April 2023
U16 Girls Begin their County League Campaign.
Our u16 Ladies team began their Co League campaign with a trip to Ballybunion on Wednesday evening last.
We traveled with a depleted squad due to injuries and player unavailability.
The first have was evenly matched possession wise, however the home side made better use of that possession to lead at half time on a 1-5 to 0-2 scoreline.
Our Girls played their best football in the first 20 minutes of the second half and had cut the deficit to a single point, however the introduction of fresh legs into the Beale side saw them regain the iniatitive which saw them add three unanswered points to leave the final score Beale 1-10 Ballymac 1-6.
Full credit to the Ballymac Girls who gave it their all and despite the loss can look forward to the remaining games with confidence following this display.
