Askeaton 0 Ballingarry 1 (Geary)
David Geary came off the bench to score the only goal of the game in this crucial league game for both teams, and in doing so keeps Ballingarry’s title aspirations alive. In truth Ballingarry fully deserved their victory as there were dominant for most of the game. An outstanding team performance all round as they demonstrate in every position the desire and work ethic required to win these tight games.

More “big” games on the horizon for this group of players and keeping momentum going will prove crucial.

Team: K Kelly, K Storin, A Long, L Flynn, C Tagney, G Sparling, J Quill, M Southgate, C Kerwin, N Leary and D Singh. Subs: B Mulqueen D Geary and M Sheahan.

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.
