It proved to be a glorious weekend for the club as two sides lifted silverware and two sides progressed in National cups.
The u12A girls proved too strong for Rathkeale in the Division 1 league final where a brace from Donna Kenny saw them lift the cup. Later on in the day in Glantine the boys u14 A side got their hands on the Division 2 shield with a penalty shootout victory over Kilcolman Rovers.
The girls u12 B team were beaten by the slimmest of margins in their shield final against Kildimo while the u14 boys B side went out in an eleven goal thriller against NCW B in the shield semi-final.
The youths marched on to host Mervue United in the last 16 of the FAI youth cup at the expense of Charleville. The all important came in the second half when one of the visiting Cork boys put through his own net. The win sets up a first ever meeting of Ballingarry and the Tribesmen after Christmas.
The u16 girls too had a famous win in Tipperary when they overcame a very physical Killavilla United outfit to reach the last 16. Amy O’Keeffe with two, Sarah Hayes with one and Nicole McNamara with a fourth sealed Ballingarrys passage.
