MAIN PITCH CLOSED
As of 28th January The Club Field Committee has closed the pitch until further notice.
This decision was taken to preserve the pitch playing surface due to the inclement weather.
Hopefully it will not be for long and we will inform you all immediately when it is reopened.
Due to the ongoing poor weather conditions we ask all patrons to keep a close eye on our web site for changes of times and venues for all our upcoming games:
Senior Team News
Our senior team played Kerins O’Rahilly’s in the last round of the Coiste Trá Lí League last Saturday morning in John Mitchel’s.
A blistering open 10 minutes by Kerins O Rahillys quickly put this game to bed but a resolute Ballymac never gave up as the game petered out on a final score of 4-10 to 0-9.
Two quick points from the home side gave them an early advantage before three turnovers on kick-outs left the Tralee men with goal chances which they took with aplomb.
At this stage the Ballymac men could have thrown in the towel but they responded with three points and looked lively on the attack. However no goal chances fell their way and the score at the half was 3-7 to 0-3.
Assisted by the wind and a renewed attitude as the second half began the men in blue and gold scoredd 5 of the first 6 points to make the game a contest.
However a goal against the run of play stretched the lead again to 12 before late points were traded between the teams.
Ballymac never gave up but the deficit was too large and the Tralee side ran out deserving winners.Final Score: Kerins O’Rahillys 4-10 Ballymac 0-9
