Sunday April 24th
Premier Division Cup Semi Final – Kildimo United 0 Ballingarry 5 (Forde 4, N Clancy)
Kevin Forde proved Ballingarrys hero as he plundered four goals to send Ballingarry to the Premier Division League cup final where they will face Broadford United. This tie was effectively over as a contest by the break when the winners were four up. By then Forde had his hat-trick, one a penalty, while Nathan Clancy added the fourth.
The second half was just academic as Ballingarry were never pressured and Forde added a fifth.
Team: Healy, O’Kelly, Corrigan, Fitzgerald, O’Grady, Cahill, Kiely, N Clancy, D Clancy, Forde, Alymer, (O’Connor).
Ladies Premier Cup Semi Final – Ballingarry 3 (O’Gorman 3) Mungret 2
Ballingarry ladies qualified for the Premier cup final following a magnificent comeback from 2 goals down at the break. Mungret took an early lead from a free kick that came back off the post but their forward was on hand to slot home. They added a second on 35 minutes to give themselves a comfortable half time lead.
Ballingarry returned for the second half with all guns blazing with Joanne O’Gorman cutting the deficit to the minimum following neat play. The goal gave Ballingarry a great lift and it was O’Gorman again that drew the teams level when she struck home from a tight angle. The game was now finely balanced but their never say die attitude stood them well as O’Gorman struck for her hat-trick to seal Ballingarrys passage to the final where they will face Rathkeale.
