Desmond Cup Round 1 – Ballingarry 2 Foynes 0

Just one team out of the four in action recorded a victory over the weekend, that being the junior side on Sunday as they began their defence of the Desmond cup in style. Foynes proved tough opponents keeping Ballingarry at bay until fifteen minuted from the break. A corner to the holders was not cleared and Mike Corrigan was on hand to half volley to the net from the edge of the box. The second period saw Ballingarry continue as the better side but it wasn’t until Denis Kelly got the winners second that Ballingarry could rest easy. The shine was somewhat taken off the result with the sending off of Declan Normoyle near the end.

On Saturday the club recorded no win from the three teams in action. In the morning the under 10 A side were involved in a cracker as the league resumed after the Winter break. Athea went a goal up with a super strike in the first half with Tiernan Fitzgerald getting Ballingarrys second midway through the second. Ballingarry had chances to win but a fine display from the home keeper ensured a share of the points.

The under 14s went down in Abbeyfeale while the youths disappointed in NCW going out of the Desmond youth cup by the only goal of the game.

Abbeyfeale United B 0 Ballingarry 4
While sending Ballingarry to the top of division 1 Denis Kelly wrote himself into the clubs record books becoming the first player in the clubs history to register four goals in a game on a second occassion. This result coupled with NCW Rvs 2-1 loss to Rathkeale B sees Ballingarry go top.

Youths Division 1 – Ballingarry 1 Rathkeale 1
With just four games remaining this was a crucial game for the youths with the resulting draw taking the title destination out of Ballingarrys hands. Marcus Mooore was the Ballingarry scorer in a game that finished all square at 1-1. Ballingarry must now hope to win all their remaining games and hope that Glin slip up along the way for Ballingarrry to succeed.

Juniors Division 1 – Breska Rovers 0 Ballingarry 2
After the long enforced break due to the weather it was all systems go this weekend with all three teams in action recording wins.
On Saturday the 12s were at Foynes in the second round of the cup. Denis Hayes scored to tie the game and seemed to send the game to extra time but a surging run from Darragh Kiely into the box with just three minutes left saw the Ballingarry player fouled. Mark Danagher showed great calm to slot the ball home and send Ballingarry through to the last eight.

Later on that day NCW visited Ballingarry for their youth division 1 encounter with just nine players. Ballingarry made hard work of what should have been an easy game. However the three goals secured the points with Shane Doherty, Kevin Forde and Darren Alymer on the mark.

On Sunday the juniors travelled to Clarina where Rory Alymer and Eoin Kennedy from the spot kept Ballingarrys promotion hopes well on track.

Junior Division 1 – Ballingarry 3 Abbeyfeale United B 0

A great weekend on the playing front for Ballingarry as both teams in action making progress.

On Saturday the under 17s recorded a first as they progressed into the semi finals on the domestic cup. A hard fought encounter against visitors Glin Rovers went all the way to penalties following a 1-1 draw. Kevin Forde was the home sides scorer in the first half. Forde was again on the mark during the shootout as was John Ruttle, James Hayes, Marcus Moore and Steven O’ Brien as Ballingarry went through 5-4.

On Sunday the juniors cut the lead at the top of Division 1 to just two points with a well deserved win against Abbeyfeale United B. Francis Kielys early strike had the home side up by the minimum at the interval with further second half goals from Denis Kelly and Darragh O’ Grady making sure of the points.

With just half of their league programme now completed Ballingarry find themselves well placed for a rapid return to the premier.

All the action on the pitch was confined to the clubs underage sides with all the teams down to play cup football.
While the 16s, 15s, 13s and 12s remain in their respective cup competitions, it was disappointment for the boys of the 11s, 14s and youths.

A mixed weekend saw the clubs teams register a win a draw and a loss. On Saturday the under 14s were 3-1 up at the break at Creeves with goals from John O’ Gorman (2) and Dean Clancy only to see a second half rally from Creeves see the game finish as a 3-3 draw.

At Glin the youths went out of the FAI youth cup on a 2-1 scoreline with Darren Alymer getting Ballingarrys only goal while on Sunday the juniors got back to winning ways thanks to Denis Kelly’s goal against Kilcornan.

The draws for all the underage domestic cups were made on Monday last with the exception of the under 10 draw. This draw will be made when the league resumes in Feburary.
Under 11 Cup Round 1: Ballingarry v Athea United
Under 12 Cup Round 2: Foynes v Ballingarry
Under 13 Cup Round 1: Creeves Celtic v Ballingarry
Under 14 Cup Round 1: Ballingarry v Granagh United (Winners away to NCW Rvs in Round 2)
Under 15 Cup Round 1: Ballingarry v Glin Rovers
Under 16 Cup Round 2: Ballingarry v Bally Rovers

The draw that will create the greatest interest is the under 14 clash against neighbours Granagh United. All told the draws were relatively kind with all the teams avoiding the main contenders. However much is expected from the clubs under 15 and 16 sides and all eyes will be on the progress made by these two sides.

Sunday November 25th 2007
Junior Division 1 – St Itas 2 Ballingarry 0

On Saturday the 12s recent good run ended when division 2 leaders Broadford won in Ballingarry by 4 goals to 2. It was a spirited show from the home side coming from two down to draw level with goals from Mark Danagher and Ryan O’ Shea. But a strong finish from United saw them take all the points.

The under 17s recorded a huge win in Newcastlewest hitting eight against the local Rovers side. In the goals were Kieron O’ Keeffe (2); Shane Doherty; Kevin Forde and Darren Alymer.

Meanwhile on Sunday St. Itas dealt a massive blow to the junior sides title notions inflicting a first league loss of the season on Ballingarrys juniors. It could well have been a different story had Francis Kielys effort in the first half hit the net instead of the crossbar. A mixup lead to the first with Itas adding a second to put the issue beyond doubt. Ballingarry now find themselves eight points behind leaders NCW Rovers but with two games in hand.

Weekending December 2nd 2007
The only game involving Ballingarry over the weekend, the under 14 fixture against Creeves Celtic, was cancelled due to the poor weather conditions.

Saturday Nov 17th
Under 10 Division 1 – Abbeyfeale United A 6 Ballingarry A 1
Under 14 Division 1 – Ballingarry 2 NCW Rvs 2

An under strength under 10 side were well beaten in Abbeyfeale on Saturday on a 6-1 scoreline. Daven O’ Donnell had given Ballingarry a half time lifeline to leave the score at 3-1. But three more from the homeside in the second period sent the visitors to their biggest defeat in over two years.

The under 14s collected a point from their tussle with NCW Rvs in a close game in Ballingarry. John O’ Gorman had Ballingarry a goal up at the break but a wind assisted visiting side forged ahead during the second half. However Jeff Doherty salvaged a point for Ballingarry with a late penalty.

There was no junior fixture on Sunday due to the leagued involvement in the inter league competition.
