Ballingarrys under 12 side progressed to the cup semi-final and a trip to Adare with a hard fought win against Abbeyfeale United. While the visitors had most of the possession Lynch in goal for Ballingarry didn’t have a save to make while the same can be said for the Abbey keeper. The all important goal came just after the break when O’Keeffe collected the ball just inside the Abbey half to drive a hopeful ball forward where it flew in over the keepers head. Ballingarry had to survive some Abbey pressure but held out to keep a league and cup double very much alive.

Also on Saturday the Youths made it to the cup final with an easy win against Pallas. This will be just the second time in the clubs history that the club will be appearing in this particular final.

On Sunday next the LDSL will contest the under 12 inter league Munster final when they entertain Waterford SL at Clounreask. Ballingarrys Mikey Morrissey, Nathan Clancy, Mikey Hickey, Cathal O’Keeffe and Davin O’Donnell are all part of the squad that will be hoping to win this title for the first time.

On Saturday the under 12 lost their unbeaten record against a vastly improved NCW side in Ballingarry. The visitors were three up at the break although Ballingarry had chances to score that they wasted. The second half saw a much better show from Ballingarry with Jason Murphy scoring after just six minutes. Ballingarrys domination failed to produce another goal and when NCW scored a fourth from a rare attack near the end the result was put beyond doubt.

In the youth inter league the LDFL were beaten 2-1 away to Wicklow in extra time. Ballingarrys Shane Doherty had a fine game at left back for the Desmond side.

Sunday – Junior Division 2 – Ballingarry B 0 Rockhill Rovers 3

The under 13 side bowed out of the cup on Saturday when a much better side in NCW hit three without reply. It was a brave display from Ballingarry considering it was mainly an under 12 side they fielded against a visiting team without an under 12 player. Ballingarry got the best chance before any goal was scored when Mikey Hickey had a free from inside the box blocked on the line. This was the nearest Ballingarry came to scoring and once NCW got their opener just before the break there was no going back.

On Saturday the under 12 progressed to the quarter final of the under 12 cup with a harder than expected win against division 2 Kilcornan. All Ballingarry goals were scored in the first half with Davin O’Donnell grabbing a hat-trick. Two late goals for Kilcornan saw Ballingarry endure a nervy finish. The youths travelled to Abbeyfeale in the first round of the newly introduced youth league cup. They found themselves one down before two goals from Brian Healy saw them through. All the goals came in the first half.

The under 12 side went clear at the top of Division 1 with an emphatic 4-0 drubbing of Abbeyfeale United A on Saturday afternoon. Davin O’Donnell opened the scoring after ten minutes with a fine finish to the corner before Jason Murphy with the first of two with another powerful strike to give Ballingarry a commanding half time lead. The second half saw no change in the pattern of the game with Nathan Clancy adding a third from a fine effort before Murphy rounded off the scoring with a scrambled effort near the end. Ballingarry were not flattered by the scoreline with Murphy missing an easy chance and Clancy hitting the crossbar.
The under 16s probably saw their chances of the under 16 title evaporate with a 1-1 draw in Kilcornan. Damien O’Donoghue gave Ballingarry the lead but the under strength Ballingarry couldn’t hold out.
On Sunday the junior B team went under to their second 1-0 home reversal in a week with Kilcolman winning in Ballingarry.

A dismal weekend saw all but the under 14 side beaten from the four teams on the pitch. The under 14 were away to Granagh Unted where a 1-1 draw was the outcome. Ballingarry went ahead in the first period from a fine left foot strike from Mikey Hickey and had four clear penalty appeals waved away before Granagh drew level from some slack Ballingarry defending. Steven Kelly made a wonderful save before that to deny Granagh from the spot.

In the afternoon game Ballingarrys youths suffered their second 5-0 reversal in a week to see their division 1 ambitions dissolve.

On Sunday both the junior sides were beaten. The A team in Rathkeale where their consolation was an own goal while the B team went under at home to Kilcornan.
