BALLYDUFF

COISTE NA NÓG: U10’s It was Ballyduff’s turn to host the U10’s in the Go Games Football Blitz rotation and this took place on Monday night. The visiting teams were Tarbert, Ballydonoghue and Knocknogoshel and each team got the chance to put their skills learned in training into practice. Well done to the organisers.

U12’s The U12s took on Firies on a sunsoaked Sunday evening in Farranfore. They played some lovely football and drew 5 9 a piece with the home side. The U11’s had a comfortable win over their opponents, which means they are now League champions.U14’s The U14 hurlers were back in action for the first time since Féile when they took on Lixnaw away in the North Kerry League on Monday night of last week. Although the visitors started slow, they soon got into their stride and eased into a comfortable lead with the help of a hat trick from Anthony Kavanagh. This was a good win for the boys to kick start their North Kerry League campaign. Their next outing is at home to Ballyheigue on Thursday at 7.00pm. All support would be appreciated.U16’s Now that the long awaited Junior Cert is over the U16 footballers had their first game in the County League against Kerins O’Rahillys on Wednesday evening in Strand Road. It was a challenge considering Ballyduff had no subs and lost a man half through second half to a black card. Ballyduff dominated at stretches during the match, however a flurry of late goals by Kerins O’Rahillys led to an exciting finish. Final score Ballyduff 4 18 Kerins O’Rahillys 7 6. Well done to players and mentors.
