2018 -The U14 hurlers continued their county league campaign on Saturday evening with a hard fought win over Ballyheigu­e. Even though they were missing some of their older players, the win shows the depth of skill and experience on the team. The U14 footballer­s played Rathmore at home Wednesday 18th April. The game was played in quite blustery conditions, Rathmore played with the wind in the first half and the teams were evenly match for some of the half, however Ballyduff got a goal and started to gain control of the game. The home team had a good spell early in the second half playing with the wind, and although Rathmore fought hard, they were unable to overcome the deficit. Final score 2 -18 to 1 - 5.

The U16s played their North Kerry County League Football semi-final against Listowel on Monday night in absolutely atrocious conditions. In what was a very low score game, both teams dug deep to battle the elements and try and come out on top. Both teams traded scores for most of the game and it was difficult to see who the eventual winner would be, in the end the winning score came from JP O’Carroll to put Ballyduff on top at the final whistle. Final Score 0 - 6 to 0 5.
