Intermediates through to final
INTERMEDIATE LEAGUE FINAL
The intermediate team will contest our first final of the season, following a great victory over Tramore in the semi-final. The league is played in an 11-a-side format which makes for very entertaining viewing. The girls take on Na Déise with the time and venue yet to be announced. Keep an eye online for these details.
Na Déise defeated us by a goal in the group stages so it’s guaranteed to be a close contest, but hopefully all the effort that is being put into training will pay off and the silverware will be brought home to Ballyduff. Best of luck to all the team and management.

U16
Our U16s have finished first in their division, with four wins from four. This puts us in the great position of having a home semi-final to look forward to. Details to follow as soon as we have them.
MINOR
Well done to our minors who had a brilliant win over Na Déise on Monday night. This was a great contest between two evenly matched teams, and it was played in a very sporting manner. In what was a nail-biting finish, it took a superb team goal with the very last kick of the game to secure the points for Ballyduff. Well done to all the girls and to the management team of Mike Leamy and Noel Hayes. Final score - Ballyduff 4-10, Na Déise 4-08. This win sees us into the semi-final stages of the competition which is a great achievement for such a young team.
BEST OF LUCK
Best of luck to the Ballyduff U15 hurlers who take on Clonea Power in the county final on Wednesday night.
