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 .

A trip to high flying De La Salle on a miserable Saturday morning where the boys will feel unlucky not to come away with any points with a missed penalty from us and a soft goal given away for the De La Salle opener.
Credit most go to all players for playing in torrential conditions.

Our 18s outfit got off to a Rocky start on Sunday morning . Going a goal down within 10 minutes . However, the girls settled soon after and played some great football. We went in at half time 1-4 up after goals from Emily Blackmore x 2 Ella Brennan & Hannah Carroll. Ella added a second to her tally midway through the second half.

The introduction of fresh legs in the second half rejuvenated the team, and we finished out the game strongly .

A much improved performance by this group and it could have been a win but for a missed penalty but villa might have nicked it too but for a brilliant goal line clearance by Logan. Goals on the day from Cathal with a brace and one from Daniel secured a well deserved point.

A top performance by all on duty and the lads secured the three points through Aaron D with 2,Noel D and an Og.

An end to end game from start to finish with us going 2 nill up early with Cory finishing from an excellent corner from Cormac , Cormac would double our lead soon after with a bullet penalty. Bohs pegged us back to 2-1 before Edmond set up Cormac for his 2nd with a superb finish. A late Bohs goal made for a nervy finish, but we held on for our second win in row.
Man of the match Cormac M with two goals and assist.

A bigger Ballyduff side took the honours in this one where two teams went toe to toe for the 50 minutes. Goals in the second half by Reuben O and Odhráin D were not enough as Ballyduff rattled in three second half goals.

Breezy cold conditions made life difficult for both teams throughout but our young side set out their stall to frustrate Southend and limit their chances. A goal just before half time saw Southend go in 1 up and two late goals sealed the three points. Each game this group is improving and will get their rewards soon enough.
