Under 13 Boys – In tough conditions and a strong cross wind in Ballyduff Mitchels played against a very strong physical team.
Some smart football and a total team performance we went in at half time 1 G 4pts to 4 pts. Ballyduff came out strong at the start of the 2nd half but brilliant defending by all the backs led by Fionan O Callaghan stopped the powerful Ballyduff men.
Liam and Eddie supplied great ball to the forwards and birthday man Ryan Buckley got the vital 2nd goal to keep Mitchels ahead by 3 points going into injury time.
Tom Óg in goal made a fantastic save in injury time to keep out Ballyduff and after 5 mins of injury time the ref blew the final whistle. The supporters gave the team a standing ovation after producing one of the best performances of the year.
Well done to the players and mentors and we now await the draw for our semi final opponents. Well done all.
