Junior Premier Division – Abbeyfeale Utd 3 Ballingarry 1 (Hayes)
Ballingarry will feel bitterly disappointed not to have taken a point at least from a game that saw 4 solid penalty appeals, two of which were awarded to the home side. Mark Hayes gave Ballingarry the lead with a neat chip after fifteen minutes. Abbey equalised from the spot within five minutes to leave the scores level at the break.
Ballingarry were denied what appeared a clear penalty when Mark Hayes rounded the keeper and was pulled down but the appeal was waved away much to the amazement of everyone in attendance.
