The girls and ladies led the way this weekend past with major wins.

Saturday January 19th

FAI U/16 Girls National Cup Rd. 4 – Ballingarry 2 (McNamara 2) Killenaule Moyglass 1

Ballingarry progressed to the last 8 of the National cup following a difficult examination at The Paddocks. The visitors proved capable opponents and carried the game to Ballingarry for the opening twenty minutes. Once Ballingarry got going they always looked the more likely and once Nicole McNamara opened the scoring on the half hour they began to control the game.

McNamaras score was a sublime finish across the keeper ending a move she began herself in midfield. She doubled the winners lead just after half time when she slotted home following Trojan work from Molly McCarthy in the middle. Ballingarry could have had more before the visitors reduced the deficit with fifteen to go.

After a slow start Ballingarry really got going with Laura McMahon and Molly McCarthy having fine games.

It proved to be a glorious weekend for the club as two sides lifted silverware and two sides progressed in National cups.

The u12A girls proved too strong for Rathkeale in the Division 1 league final where a brace from Donna Kenny saw them lift the cup. Later on in the day in Glantine the boys u14 A side got their hands on the Division 2 shield with a penalty shootout victory over Kilcolman Rovers.

The girls u12 B team were beaten by the slimmest of margins in their shield final against Kildimo while the u14 boys B side went out in an eleven goal thriller against NCW B in the shield semi-final.

The youths marched on to host Mervue United in the last 16 of the FAI youth cup at the expense of Charleville. The all important came in the second half when one of the visiting Cork boys put through his own net. The win sets up a first ever meeting of Ballingarry and the Tribesmen after Christmas.

The u16 girls too had a famous win in Tipperary when they overcame a very physical Killavilla United outfit to reach the last 16. Amy O’Keeffe with two, Sarah Hayes with one and Nicole McNamara with a fourth sealed Ballingarrys passage.

Saturday November 24th – Abbeyfeale inflict more disappointment

U/16 Girls Div 1 League Final – Abbeyfeale Utd 2 Ballingarry 1 (McNamara)

More disappointment for Ballingarrys girls at the hands of Abbeyfeale as this friendly rivalry saw out another chapter at Glantine on Saturday. After a bright opening for Ballingarry the eventual winner took control hitting both the post and crossbar before they eventually took the lead after fifteen minutes. Sarah Hayes had Ballingarrys only real chance in the first half but she shot straight at the keeper.

The second half saw little change in the game with Abbey doing most of the pressing. Ballingarrys only chance falling to Amy O’Keeffe whose effort was blocked. Then when it seemed as the game was won up popped Nicole McNamara to send a free all the way to the net with the last kick of the game. Extra time produced just the one goal with Abbeyfeale securing the title half way through the second period of extra time.

U/14 Boys Div 2 Shield Semi Final – Ballingarry A 3 (Foley, Fenamin, E O’Connor) Breska Rvs 1
