Munster Junior Cup Round 3 – Ballingarry 5 (D. Clancy 2, E. Ryan, Kenrick, Forde) NCW 3 AET

Following a seven week weather inflicted break Ballingarry finally got back to playing and even more importantly back to winning ways last Sunday. They can now look forward to entertaining one of Vee Rovers/Galbally/Cashel Town in the last 32 of the Munster Junior Cup following this hard fought 5-3 extra time win over NCW. Ballingarry led through a free kick from goalkeeper Pat Kenrick but not to be out done visiting keeper Murphy replicated the effort just before the break to see the teams level at half time.

NCW went 2-1 up just after half time but a brace from Dean Clancy looked to have sent Ballingarry through only for the visitors to send the game to extra time. Eoin Ryans first goal of the season gave Ballingarry the advantage in the first period before Kevin Forde put the issue beyond doubt at the death, this after the visitors were reduced to 10.
Team: Kenrick, Healy, N. Clancy, Fitzgerald, Cahill, E. Ryan, P. Ryan, O’Grady, D. Clancy, Kelly, F. Kiely.
Sub used Forde for P. Ryan.
