Ballymacelligott GAA Club notes: 11th April 2004

Senior Team
Ballymac played host to Waterville in our second game in Division 2 of the Credit Union County League on Saturday night last. Our team, minus vital players, played exceptionally well throughout the game and were unlucky to lose.The first half saw Cathal DeLacy score a great goal that gave a lift to players and supporters alike. This was short lived as our Goalie was dismissed and for the last 35 minutes our 14 men put in a powerful display. The half time score was Ballymac 1-5 to Waterville’s 0-7. The second half saw our players play very well and the work rate with 14 players caught up in the last five minutes. With five minutes to go Ballymac were leading by a point. However Waterville rallied and scored three points to win the game. The final score was Ballymac 1-9 to Waterville 0-14.
Ballymac team and scorers: Padraig Laide, TJ Casey, Dominic O’Shea (Capt), John Leen, Kevin O’Shea, Denis Brosnan, Kieran Savage, Adam Jones, Tadhg Sugrue, John Casey, Rurai O’Rahilly (0-2), Paul Breen, Cathal DeLacy (1-2), Frank O’Rahilly (0-4), and Paul Sugrue (1).
We wish Paul Breen and Denis Brosnan speedy recoveries following injuries in the game.
