Lee Strand Senior Town Board Championship Final.
Ballymac took on Kerins O’Rahillys in the Town Board Final on Sunday 05th of November.
Unfortunately the day was not to be theirs and failed to gain the Town Championship Title this year with a final score of 1-07 to Kerins O’Rahillys 6-18.
Each player worked hard to maintain a good position but being up against the expertise of Barry john Keane, Jack Savage, Cormac Coffee to name but a few of Kerry’s talented players it was always going to be a tough battle.
However we now look forward the next season in Division 2 where Ballymac will be sure to bring the skills they have proven to own into 2018.

U16 girls Town League Final
Ballymac Girls u16 Town League Champions
Ballymac 2-10 John Mitchell’s 1-4
The Ballymac U16 girls finished up their season last Wed night with a well deserved victory over John Mitchell’s in the Tralee Town Board Sheild final .
Following the defeat to Abbeydorney after extra time in the NK League final the girls were very determined to make amends in this game & from the beginning they set about the task with great gusto . 5 star performances from goalie Robyn White & Eve Creedon for the hour were key to the win . Aisling O Connell , Niamh Rahilly . Aine Rice , Maeve O Sullivan & Caoimhe Carroll contributed handsomely to the performance also .
The first half was quite competitive but some fine saves from Robyn & brave defending from Mitchell’s meant we only led by 2 at the break 4pt to 2pt’s despite having the better of the chances . Caoimhe Carroll , Emily O Donoghue , Lisa Curran & Aine Rice providing the scores for Ballymac .
The 2nd half was a different story once Eve Creedon ( who notched 1-3 from midfield) raced through the middle to shoot the ball to the Mitchell’s net after 2 minutes , Kate O Connor & Eve added further scores & we proceeded to dominate the 2nd half . Mitchell’s in a rare purple patch kicked 1-1 but from the next attack Lisa Curran found the net to eliminate any doubt about the result . A well deserved win for this group & a great team performance from 1 to 18 .
Captain Aine Rice received the shield from ref John Ross & she proceeded to give her acceptance speech as Gaeilge ! Maith u Aine .
Team : Robyn White , Maeve O Sullivan , Niamh Rahilly , Sinead Mc Kewon , Roisin Long , Caoimhe Carroll , Sophie O Donoghue , Aisling O Connell , Eve Creedon ( 1-3) , Emily O Brien , Aine Rice (0-1) Cait Rice , Lisa Curran (1-2) Emily O Donoghue (0-2) Lorna Daly . Subs : Kate
