Our u 16s travelled to Castlegregory to take on the locals in round 2 of the Central Region Division one League on Monday night last.
Selecting to play with a stiff breeze our boys were quick off the mark and took full advantage of the wind to race into an early lead. We were leading 1-09 to 0- 02 after twenty minutes: our goal coming from the boot of Sean Horan . We continued to pressurise the opposition and were rewarded by a further goal from Adam Joy and some wonderful points from Adam Sheehy,Adam joy and Sean Horan to put us into a commanding lead on a scoreline of 2 13 to 1 02 at half time .
Castlegregory responded well early in the second half and scored 3 unanswered points . However our boys were not to be denied and went on to score 2-04 without reply , the goals coming from Donal Daly and Adam Sheehy . Castlegregory replied with two goals of their own and added 3 further points . Ballymac emptied the bench at this stage and continued to impress right to the end and finish strongly on a final scoreline of 7- 22 to 3-12 .
An all round excellent display from the boys from Ballymac with some excellent performances on the night : Luke O’ Connell & Adam Walker were impressive in defense , Daragh Sweeney and Adam Kelly impressed at midfield, Denis Brosnan was in excellent form in defence & equally in midfield in the second half . Adam joy lead the scoring with 3-07 , some of the point scoring was sheer class . Donal Daly finished with a tally of 2- 03 and his work rate was outstanding. Adam Sheehy 1 -04 , Sean Horan 1-02 Maurice O’Connell 0-02 Gary Lynch 0 -02 and Conor Brick 0- 01.
Thanks to all parents who travelled and supported the team on the night .
