Another frustrating day for our under 13s who had the upper hand for the first half. A really strong start that was full of hard challenges. Lee Freyne started off the game full of energy and pace until a bad challenge hampered the rest of his game. A soft penalty was then awarded to Ballyduff which they duly converted and Mooncoin heads dropped.

Jake Moore pulled off some really nice saves today but got caught to what seemed an error to everyone else but with the ball over the line Jake thinking he had to take a goal kick. Ballyduff were awarded a goal when they continued on after the refs whistle froze in the severely low temperatures. The back 5 of Alex Bailey, Liam Hogan, Adam Conway, Denis Kinsella and Ciara O’Keeffe Clicked very well and they worked for each other all day.. Mike O’Keeffe and Eoin O’Callaghan teamed up well today. Tom Conway showed some real presence and made life difficult for the defence.

Sam Hartwell gave 100% and Will Cuddihy added life the the attack when he came on and three good introductions of Matthew Morahan, Aaron Fewer and Harry Walsh added to the game… onwards and upwards for this bunch. It’s coming… well done everyone.
