Aoibheann Broderick and Kate Collins who were part of the Kerry u13 Ladies Development Squad who played Dublin at the Staker Wallace Club in Limerick on Saturday last.
Round 10 of The Senior County League
In what was a blustery evening Ballymac played host to Ardfert in the 10th round of the County League .
Ballymac led the way from the off with 1 outstanding goal in the first half and 7 points from play. Ardfert brought just 4 points to the game in the opening half .
The second half began with a dominant Ballymac side maintaining their lead with no score from the visitors.
The final score being Ballymac 1-10 to Ardferts 0-04.
We would like to wish Ardfert the very best for the remainder of their season and well done to Ballymac for obtaining another home victory

U6 Boys and Girls
Once again we were very lucky with the weather on Sunday morning last was a KICKING day session. High/Low kicks. We are asking parents to encourage practice at home after sessions. It is vitally important that all players come with Gum Shields on Sunday mornings. We welcomed Ciara and Amy from Scotland to the session. Both were visiting their cousins in Ballymac. We hope they enjoyed their hour with us. GUM SHIELDS are compulsory by GAA for everyone.If achild/player gets a ball in the mouth, no gum shield means not covered by insurance. We have training as usual next Sunday morning at 11.00am. Do not forget the gum shields….
U10 Boys
Our U10 boys had a good work out at training on Sunday.All the boys are showing great improvement with every passing week.
Parking/Traffic Arrangements for Sunday Academy.
For Health & Safety reason on every Sunday morning we ask all parents dropping off children to the academy , to park outside the Main Gates and walk into the pitch with children. The Main gates will be closed as its too dangerous immediately after training to accommodate all the cars leaving etc. We thank you all in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
