COSITE NA NOG
FAOI 14: CASTLEISLAND 2-14 MID KERRY 3-10. Castleisland District just edged out Mid Kerry in this thrilling county u 14 district final played in Fitzgerald Stadium last Wednesday evening. Making plenty of use of the long ball Castleisland were 7 points to no score ahead after ten minutes. Mid Kerry upped their game from then on and were only a point (0-10 to 1-6) behind at half time.
There was little between the sides in the second half, Mid Kerry pressing forward, the Castleisland defence, with Josh O’Keeffe in fine form, holding firm.
Ten minutes in there was still only a point in it 0-13 to 2-6. Daire Keane was then brought on and with his first touch sent in a high ball which deceived the goalie and finished up in the net.
Mid way through the half it was level again 2-10 to1-13. Even though Castleisland missed a few easy chances they did just enough to be a point up at the finish .Congratulations to all the Ballymac members of the Castleisland panel, Josh O’Keeffe, Brian Lonergan, Daire Keane, Tadhg Brick and Cillian Gallagher on a great victory.

FAOI 12
Co. League Division 3 Mitchels 2-8 Ballymac 5 – 16 . Mitchels 0-8 Ballymac 5 – 17. Played at Mitchels new field on a fine evening for football our hosts were no match for the Ballymac boys in both games. Despite missing numbers Mitchels tried hard however, our lads were dominant in every position and had the results of these games in no doubt by half time. We were in a position to rotate the players from their usual births and allowed them to test themselves. Bigger challenges await as the teams go in search of the Division 3 titles.
