SENIORS
Ballymac 3 – 9 Lispole 3 – 12
Our senior team suffered a very disappointing defeat on Sunday last as Lispole emerged victorious by 3 points in this Co. League game played in Ballymac.
Playing with a stiff breeze the home side got off to a dream start with a Luke Sweeney goal inside the first minute. Midway through the half Ballymac led on a score 3 – 3 to 1 – 1 with Padraig McCarthy and Gene Griffin goaling for Ballymac.

We continued to dominate the half and lead at halftime by 9 points on a score line of Ballymac 3 – 8 Lispole 2 – 2. Lispole came out for the second half with all guns blazing and made full use of the wind advantage. Some early points and a goal on the 40ith minute saw them narrow the gap to four points and from here until the final whistle the West Kerry side dominated proceedings. A Daniel O Shea point being Ballymac’s only score in the second half.

COISTE NA NOG

Cailini Faoi 14: Ballymac 4-6 Spa 4-2

We came out the right side of a very competitive game on Saturday evening in Spa . Having got off to a bright start in the first half scoring 1-2 in first 10 minutes we failed to build on it , Spa came back with 2 goals of their own . Rose Ann O Shea grabbed our 2nd goal of first half . Half time score 2-3 to 2-2.

The 2nd half was a real ding dong affair with both teams having periods of dominance , with 4 minutess left Spa scored a goal to level the game but our girls showed great character in launching an attack straight from the kick out , Cora Savage pointed following a great move .

From the resultant kick out Rachel Godley fed Mary Healy who goaled to seal a 4 point win for us. Robin White, Micheala Murphy, Claire Kenny, Eve Creedon & Niamh Rahilly played well in defence, Leah and Rose Anne had a great battle midfield with their Spa counterparts and Mary Healy , Rachel Godley , Aine Rice and Cora Savage lead the way up front.

Scores : Aine Rice 2-2 , Rose Anne O Shea 1-0 , Mary Healy 1-1 , Cora Savage 0-1 , Leah ONeill 0-1, Ellie Mc Elligott 0-1

Buachailli Faoi 14: BALLYMAC 3-10 KENMARE 4-9

Our final County League game was at home to Kenmare last Wednesday evening. Both teams were on the scoreboard early on, Cillian pointing for us and a goal by Josh after being put through by Daire Keane. Kenmare were busy too scoring 1-3 , all scores inside the first ten minutes. The visitors got another 1-3 before the break, Davy Rodgers pointing for us to leave us 2-6 to1-2 behind at the break. While we missed a few chances we were rather fortunate not to be further behind.

We were treated to a exciting game in the second half. Substitutes Liam O’Brien and Darragh Broderick were making their presence felt and Daire Keane got two points. The visitors goalkeeper made two fine saves to deny James Carmody and Daire Keane. With Dara Leen and Cathal on top in defence Ballymac pressed forward with success. The goal we wanted coming from a piledriver from

Cillian Gallagher, who was having a superb game. Daire Keane adding two more points to leave the scores tied at 2-6 each at the midway point. The frantic scoring continued Kenmare adding 1-3, points for Ballymac coming from Josh, C Nolan, Cillian and D Rodgers. With only a few minutes left Daire Keane weaved through and found the net to put us a point ahead. Unfortunately there was still time for Kenmare to race up field and get another goal and give them a two point winning margin. This was by far our best thirty minutes of football this season and hopefully there is more of the same to come.
