U/14 Girls Div 2
Ballingarry B 4-0 Askeaton
We were beaten by a very strong home side who were crowned league champions after the game. We conceded three goals in the 1st half, and while other teams might have dropped their heads our girls actually upped their game and only conceded one in the second half, while we came very close to scoring ourselves. A very spirited performance by all our girls.

Glin Rovers B won on penalties
Cian Smith
Matt Moane
We were one nil down at half time. We played great football and great team goal from Cian put us back in the game. Full time finished 1-1 so we went to extra time. We took the lead through Matt but conceded shortly after from set piece. Niall came close to win it near the end but just missing the target. We went to the dreaded penalties, where both teams had good scores and saves but we came up short losing 4-3
