Munster Junior Cup Round 1 – Ballingarry 4 (OG, Healy, Ahern, Forde) Shannonside 0
Ballingarry bossed the game from the off but still had to rely on an own goal to set the ball rolling after seeing several early chances go a begging. Aherns half volley proved too hot for then visiting keeper to handle as the ball went over the line before Pa Healy ran on to a defence splitting pass to drive the ball to the net. All this before the break.
The second half showed little change in pattern with Kevin Fordes fourth in two games giving Ballingarry their fourth in this game. Pa Gallagher almost crowned his debut with a goal but shot over while another substitute Marcus Moore struck the post.
Team: Kelly, Ahern, Hartnett, Fitzgerald, O’Grady, Kiely, Clancy, Smith, Healy, Hayes, Forde.

U17 Cup Quarter Final – Ballingarry 1 (Hayes) Broadford Utd 2
Two early Broadford goals decided this U17 cup game in Ballingarry. Mark Hayes direct free kick from inside the box gave Ballingarry a purpose in the second half. However second half domination yielded no reward with two one on ones producing nothing while the crossbar also denied Ballingarry a second. A good penalty shout also went unheeded.

Sunday October 1st

FAI Junior Cup Round 1 – Ballingarry 3 (Forde 3) Bridge Utd (CDSL) 0
Kevin Forde’s introduction as a first half substitute for the injured Mark Hayes proved a master stroke. Barely on the pitch two minutes had he put Ballingarry ahead when he pounced after the keeper dropped the ball. Forde’s second followed soon afterwards when a sublime pass from Francis Kiely left the visiting defence stranded and Forde rounded the centre half and keeper to roll the ball to the net. His third club hat-trick was completed in glorious fashion when he chipped the keeper from the edge of the box on the stroke of half time to give Ballingarry an unassailable lead.
Bridge did show impressive effort early in the second half but it was to no avail as Ballingarry ran out comfortable winners in the end.
Team: Kenrick, N Cahill, Fitzgerald, Ahern, Healy, Kiely, Hartnett, Clancy, Hayes, Smith, S O’Connor
Used Subs: Forde, A O’Connor, Moore, P Ryan.

Ballingarry 0 Cashel (STSL) 1
Ballingarry 3 (Clancy 2, Kenny) Ashling/Annacotty (LDSL) 0
The U12 shield winners from last season just missed out on a fourth successive visit to Dublin for the All Ireland U12 blitz finals when they finished second in the group behind Cashel of Tipperary. The girls were tremendous throughout their four games losing just once and conceding just the one goal. Surely their reward on the day didn’t justify their efforts. As it was the goal that ended their chances arrived five minutes from time in their game against the table toppers.

Saturday September 23rd

U10 Girls – Ballingarry 4 Kildimo Utd 2
A fine performance from the girls saw them win an exciting game.

U12 Boys Division 6 – Kilcolman Rovers B 2 Ballingarry B 1 (Daly)
The clubs B team travelled to Ardagh to face Kilcolman Rovers in their second league game. They started brightly with plenty possession but conceded an early goal against the run of play. Ben Dalys long range effort drew Ballingarry level. A second Kilcolman goal saw them go in at the break ahead. Ballingarry were superb through the second half but were unable to get a deserved equaliser.

U13 Boys National Cup Round 1 – Bridge Celtic 5 Ballingarry 0
Unfortunately an under par performance form Ballingarry in Clare saw the home side run out comfortable winners. Ballingarry did have some good passage of play but not enough to trouble the oppositions defence. On a positive note the lads never gave up and created a few chances at the end to grab a consolation.

U14 Girls Division 1 – Ballingarry AFC 7 (McNamara 3, Walsh, Hayes 2, O’Keeffe) Newcastle West Town 1
A strong breeze probably contained Ballingarry and prevented more goals for the girls as they easily overcame the visitors in a one sided affair.

U15 Boys National Cup Round 2 – Killarney Athletic 1 Ballingarry 2 (Geary 2)
Two goals from David Geary saw Ballingarry secure a fine success in Killarney with a journey to either Kilmallock or Annacotty the reward in round three of the National cup.

Sunday September 24th

U14 Boys National Cup Round 1 – Ballingarry 2 (Moran, E O’Connor) Carew Park 1
Ballingarry were simply superb throughout and nothing less than a win would have been justice. While going a down before the break against the run of play they showed tremendous character to bounce back in the second half with two beautifully worked goals from first Enda Moran and then the winner from Eoin O’Connor. They will now travel to Charleville for their second round tie.

U16 Boys National Cup Round 2 – Ballingarry v Shinrone (w/d)

no images were found

A fine display from Ballingarry saw them maintain their unbeaten start to the season. Brian Fitzgeralds volleyed goal after 10 minutes from Herlihys corner set the tone with the visiting keeper making a fine save to keep the deficit at the minimum for the break. Once Mark Hayes got their second early in the second half it was points secured. Carrig pulled one back before Tony Quaids first goal for the club restored the two goal cushion before Aaron O’Connor sealed the win in the closing stages.

The U12 boys A team opened their season with a short trip to NCW on Friday evening last play newly formed NCW Town. They started brightly and went 1 up after a couple of minutes. The totally dominated the half going in at the break 6-1 ahead. The second period told a different story as the home side come out fighting.

U12 Boys Division 6 – Ballingarry B 2 (Long, Bernie) AK Utd C 1

Despite this set back the stayed composed and continued to play neat controlled football. Their play rewarded with two well taken first half goals from Kieran Long and Billy Bernie. The second half while very entertaining didn’t produce any further goals.

U14 Girls Division 1 – Kilcolman Rovers 0 Ballingarry 13
Ballingarry were far too strong for their opponents as the score line suggests. Nicole O’Dwyer, Nicole McNamara, Shannon Carey, Amy O’Keeffe, and Siofa Walsh were on the score sheet.

Pa Gallagher got the ball rolling after just two minutes before Sean O’Connor added two more before the break. Mark Hayes added another brace in the second half to round off the rout.

Sunday September 10th

Premier Division – Rathkeale 0 Ballingarry 0
Ballingarry maintained their unbeaten start to the season with this highly creditable draw at Rathkeale. The club will be well pleased with their fine start as having argueably visited the two most difficult venues and returned with a point on each occasion – reigning champions Rathkeale and reigning Munster Champions trophy champions Abbeyfeale United on the opening day. And it could have been so much better for Ballingarry as they spurned two glorious chances in the first half that could have secured an even better result. However it can only get easier for Ballingarry from here on in with much to look forward to.
Team: Kenrick; Hartnett; Fitzgerald; Cahill; Kiely; Clancy; Hayes; Ahern; Healy; Smith; O’Connor.

Under 14 Division 1 – Ballingarry 0 Granagh United 6

Sunday September 3rd

Premier Division – Ballingarry 3 (F Kiely 2, Hayes) Granagh United 2
A cracking derby that saw Ballingarry snatch all three points from what appeared at one point to be an impossible position. The visitors raced into a two goal lead and had a penalty saved before Francis Kiely put Ballingarry right back in it just before the break. A second from Kiely had United reeling before a glorious winner from substitute Mark Hayes secured all three points for Ballingarry.

Division 3 – Broadford United B 8 Ballingary B 2 (Walsh, O’Connor)
U13 League Cup – Ak United 3 Ballingarry 2 (A Picard, Lenihan)
A good game in which Ballingarry deserved a point but just could not get an opening for a third.

U12 Girls Division 1 – Ballingarry 5 (McNamara 2, Clancy 2, O’Dwyer) Askeaton 0
Ballingarry U14 girls began their league season on Sunday with a home fixture versus old foes Askeaton.

We started on the front foot and quickly settled into our passing game, and after missing a few presentable chances
early on, we deservedly hit the front on 20 minutes when Nicole Mc scored with a trademark run and finish. We had
further efforts on target from Nicole O’Dwyer and Sarah Hayes and probably should have scored following a goalmouth
scramble after Sarahs corner caused chaos in the Askeaton box. Nicole Mc made it 2 just before half time, a just reward for a tireless running performance from midfield working tirelessly with her were Emily, Aimee & Nessa giving the opposition no time to settle on the ball, back line were solid linking with each other effortlessly.

Into the second half we brought in some of our subs and our domination of the game continued, with Kayleigh and Abbie Clancy in particular having a big impact. Abbie added 2 very well taken goals and Nicole O’Dwyer rounded off the scoring with a deserved goal after a hardworking shift up front. Final score Ballingarry 5 Askeaton 0

This was a very promising start for the girls, especially some of the girls making the step up from 12s, they settled in seamlessly into the team and used the ball very well all game. Its great to see the players comfortable in possession and willing to take responsibility to get on the ball too.

Thanks to Askeaton for a very sporting game, referee Sean Hartnett hardly had to blow for a foul all game, credit to both teams.

Team: Ciara Houlihan, Abbie O’Shea, Emily Flynn, Laura McMahon, Sarah Lynch, Nessa Markham,
