SENIORS
Ballymac 1 – 11 Churchill 1 – 16.
Ballymac’s interest in this year’s County Junior Championship came to an end on Saturday evening last with a five point defeat to Churchill.
Ballymac were the better team in the first half and went in at half time leading by a goal (1 – 6 to 0 – 6) Robert Fitzgerald hitting the net in the 7th minute. Churchill started the second half in a whirlwind fashion, scoring five points without reply, however, Ballymac battled back and the sides swopped scores. With five minutes remaining the scores were level Ballymac 1 – 10 Churchill 0 – 13. A Churchill goal and 3 points to a solitary Ballymac point in the time remaining saw the away side into the quarter final draw.
