It’s fantastic to see local Buisness supporting local clubs , and our girls were thrilled with the day Out .

The girls took to the pitch against a strong North Tipp outfit . And although going toe to toe with the opposition. Two quick goals in the first fifteen mins left us chasing the game . On the 38 minute mark BallyMackey added a third and two minutes later Emily Blackmore gave us some hope when she slotted to the Back of the net after a slick through ball from Molly Long .

We played much better in the second half in heavy conditions . With both teams adding a goal each to their tally . With Ella Brennan scoring for Mooncoin Celtic . The game ended 4-2 to Ballymackey .

A huge thanks to the young ladies that travelled today .

And to our hosts for the hot beverages and refreshments.

Saturdays game was refereed by a young man called Bobby O Connor . Who has been officiating games for almost 2 years . The performance from the man in the middle was suberb today . His handling of the game and both teams is to be admired and applauded. It’s very seldom that two teams leave the field with high praise for a referee.

Best of Luck to BallyMackey in the next round .

Also a massive thanks to Darren Lyons for his sponsorship of todays Match Ball .
