Ballymac u14 girls
Ballymac u14 girls played their final county league game on Sunday 21st at 1pm in Ballymac against Killarney Legion.
Ballymac won the encounter with a five goal nine points blitz of their opponents in the first half and a rock tight defence that leaked a mere point to their opponents. The comprehensive lead afforded Ballymac to roll out the bench in the second half and although the scores did not come as easy Cora savage managed to tack on another two points to win the second half with the Killarney side only managing to score a single point.
This result leaves a mouth watering final against Rathmore. The teams played a thrilling draw in Rathmore last time out in very difficult conditions.
The team today lined out as follows Lorna Daly, Ellie Lenihan,Aoife Galvin, Millie Dunne,Grainne Galvin, Roisin Long,Alissa Leen, Emily O’Brien,Sinead McKeown , Mary Ann Fleming, Cora Savage, Roisin Rahilly, Laura Dunne, Kate O’Connor & Shonagh Griffin. Replacements : Yvonne Hurley, Holly Geary, Jade Riordan, Emily o’Donoghue, Sophie o’Donoghue, Kerry Hennesy, Emma Leen, Ciara Palmer, Abagail Martin, Katie Enright, Eimear Curran.
Scorers: Cora savage 3-07, Kate O’Connor 2-01, Sinead McKeown 0-02, Mary Ann Fleming 0-02, Shonagh Griffin 0-02, Yvonne Hurley0-01
Numbers one to 26 were outstanding but special mention again must go to Cora Savage who again finished top scorer but also selflessly played her teammates in for some well worked scores, Kate O’Connor in full forward scoring 2-01 proved a vital link for the team winning and off loading a lot of ball that ended up as scores.
In midfield Sinead McKeown and Emily o Brien worked tirelessly and cut out the Legion threat from an early stage. Although the score would suggest otherwise the Ballymac defence worked well as a unit spearheaded by Roisin Long and Aoife Galvin who along with their fellow backs held strong.

Ballymac 2-6 Cromane 2-5
For the first time since the formation of the ladies club we are competing in Div 1 of the co League , In our first game at home last Tuesday evening we played Cromane , a tight first half saw both defences dominate to leave half time score 2 points a piece with Roisin Rahilly & Laura Sugrue our scorers . The 2nd half was a bit more open as both sets of forwards began to make inroads . Roisin & Ciara got on top gradually at midfield & with Kate Collins & Laura Sugrue goaling we looked good with 10mins to go leading 2-5 to 0-3 . However 2 goals by Cromane changed the complexion of the game ,
points from Roisin & Kate gave us some breathing space but Cromane never gave up but we held out to win by 1
Kerry Hennesy again was outstanding in goals , Alexia Weiss , Orla O Connor, Abbey Leahy and Kate Feeney played well in defence . Roisin & Ciara showed great example while Charlotte Geary , Rachel Griffen , Kate Collins & Laura Sugrue were the pick of the forwards .

The team performed well overall but our inability to do it for the full game again cost us. We started well but the game ran away from us before half time. St. Senans leading by eight points at the break. Michael Culloty, the Horgan twins, Luke and Aiden and Sean Rice were playing well. With improved effort and great team spirit, we came back into it.
Our subs in particular were very good. Alvero Marquez, Sam Mansfield and Michael Prendergast were getting on the scoresheet. Cian McCarthy also impressed and we brought them back to three points. We however could not get the scores we needed in the last five minutes to win it. St. Senans scored two more points to win on a score line 5-10 to Ballymac 4-08. Well done to the lads on a great team effort.Training continues Tuesday and Friday at 7.00 pm.
