Ballymac 2-11 Abbeydorney 5-9 Another cracking final involving the 2 clubs that went to extra time took place in Ballymac last Sunday. The home side should have won this in normal time really but a combination of bad luck, missed chances and a tiny lack of composure at vital times ensured that we’d extra time and Abbeydorney took their chances in that period with clinical precision.

The Ballymac girls were great on the night, all played their hearts out bravely on the night and represented the club with pride. Though not finishing on the right side at the end of the game they can all hold their heads high with their performance in what was a competitive and physically demanding game. Abbeydorney also contributed to the quality of the game too on the night and were clinical when it mattered. Team: Robin White, Maeve O’Sulllivan, Niamh Rahilly, Sinead McKewon, Sophie O’Donoghue, Caoimhe Carroll, Roisin Long, Aisling O’Connell, Elle McElligott, Aine Rice, Eve Creedon, Cait Rice, Emily O’Donogue, Lisa Curran and Kate O’Connor. Subs: Alyssa Leen and Lorna Daly UNDER 14 LADIES

We hosted Abbeydorney in the Division 1 North Kerry League Ladies under 14 final on Sunday last. Ballymac had already beaten the visitors in an earlier round of the league so Abbeydorney were out to reverse the result.

With three Kerry under 14 panellists on the Abbeydorney team our girls had to put in a big performance again to come away with the spoils. The first half was all about the Abbeydorney girls who went in at half time leading by eight points, on a scoreline of 2-2 to 3-7. Some great points were taken throughout the course of the first half with our first goal coming from Emily O’Donoghue and the other 1-2 coming from the boot of Cora Savage. Halftime came at a good time for our girls to regroup and ‘re focus, and this they sure did, out scoring the Abbeydorney girls 2-7 to 0-5 points to leave the fulltime score level after an excellent game of football. Kate O’Connor struck for a goal early in the second-half quickly followed by another from Emily O’Donoghue to close the gap to a point after Cora setting our opening score of the half. It was game on at this stage and it was nip and tuck all the way to the finish. Our backs had great second half, and Emily O’Brien and Sinead McKeown dominating mid field for large periods. Up front Cora Savage chipped in with 0-5points in the second period, three frees, along with a point each from Kate O’Conor and Sinead. Alyssa Leen was also doing an amount of work on the wing driving us forward at every opportunity

Two periods of five minutes a side were played in extra time and after a driving run Alyssa Leen drove the ball over the bar to the delight of the Ballymac team and supporters. In fairness to the Abbeydorney girls they never gave up and equalised with the last kick of the game. Referee Seamus Mulvihill blew the whistle for full time and so the teams must meet again. No time and date has yet been fixed for the replay. CONGRATULATIONS to Barry Lyons one of our Club Referees who was fourth Offical last Sunday in the County Senior Football Final. Congratulations to Tomás O’Connor who played for Ireland against Scotland in Hurling-Shinty International at Inverness in Scotland.
