Junior Premier Club Championsh­ip: Firies played Ballymac in Farranfore in round 2 of the junior premier championsh­ip in a difficult evening for football. . But Ballymac finished the stronger to leave the final score Ballymac 2-11, Firies 2-06. Firies kicked a number of bad wides in the second half and these could have made a difference in the end. Next up for Firies is the round 3 game away to Skelligs Rangers on Satuarday at 18.30. This is a must win for Firies to maintain our Junior Premier status.
