ABOUT US

Ballymacelligott GAA Club, just east of Tralee, is built on pride, passion, and resilience. From the early days of the GAA, when local teacher Maurice Moynihan brought the Association to Kerry, ‘Ballymac’ has stood at the heart of the county’s footballing tradition, claiming four County Championships before 1918 and producing players who went on to win All-Ireland medals.

Our club’s story is about more than football. In 1918, as the War of Independence raged, Ballymacelligott GAA players stood not only on the pitch but in defence of their community. The infamous order to “burn Ballymac” was met with fierce resistance and unbreakable spirit- earning the rallying cry: “Ballymac still unconquered.” Today, we honour that legacy. With two pitches- our main grounds and training facility in Arabella, and a well-developed youth programme, Ballymacelligott GAA remains a proud and vibrant club. We continue to grow, grounded in the strength of our past and committed to our future.

“An té a bhíonn croíúil, beidh sé buan.” — He who has pride will endure.

Ballymac played Spa Thursday evening 14th May in the Minor Ladies County League final. Ballymac won the toss and opted to play with a significant breeze. We were slow out of the blocks and conceded an early goal and point. We soon settled to the task and had points from Eva Burke, Michelle O'Connor and Alice Savage. A goal by Eva Burke put us up by 2 points then Spa struck for a fortuitous goal which put them ahead. The Ballymac girls, needing to take advantage of the strong wind, upped their game and points by Holly O'Neill, Maeve O'Connell and Aideen Healy as well as goals by Jamie Lee and Michelle O'Connor put us ahead 3-9 to 2-3 at half time. The Ballymac girls were playing into a gale in the second half and the Spa girls quickly cut into the deficit. By the tenth minute the lead was down to 3 points with the Spa girls attacking us in waves and a few referee decisions going against us. Spa were awarded a penalty which if scored would have levelled the game. The penalty was brilliantly saved by Emma Lynch in goals. Ballymac started playing with more purpose. Alice Savage goaled to put us 5 points up. Spa responded immediately with a goal but now Ballymac were beginning to get on top. A point by Jamie Lee was followed by a goal by Maeve O'Connell which put us back in control of the game. Spa poured forward in search of a goal but the Ballymac defence was up to the task. Emma Lynch in goals making some fantastic saves throughout the game. Ballymac had the last say with a point from Tara Slattery to make it a 2 score game. Final score Ballymac 5-12 to Spa 4-9. A fantastic game of football played by 2 evenly matched sides. Every one of the 20 girls that togged out played their part in a tremendous victory for Ballymac. Also a special mention to our three helpers Jack, Kara and Zoe who helped throughout the league campaign . Congratulations to Ballymac and commiserations to Spa. Panel: Emma lynch, Aiobhean Sheehan, Sorcha Healy , Grace Kelly , Natile Turner , Kate Turner , Michela Murphy , Emily Heffernan, Meave O’Connell , Jamie Lee O’Connor ( Capt) Alice Savage , Fiona McCarthy, Michelle O’Connor ,Tara Slattery, Eva Burke , Amy Roche , Andrea Greer ,Holly O’Neill , Doireann Broderick. ...

U13 girls played in Stack Park in Ballybunnion v Beal in the NK league div3 final . Beal started with real intent and bagged a goal from the throw in followed by a point shortly after . However our girls settled down and a period of good possession resulted in Shona O Neill setting up Jasmine Roche for a goal . Good pressure on Beals kick out saw us add a few points from Katie Anna , Sadie Lynch, and Jasmine before Sadie added another goal to our tally . Beal added 2pts to leave score at small whistle 2-3 to 1- 4 . We dominated the 2nd half and played some great football as a team . Further goals from Jasmine , Sadie , Ashley Geer & Cliona Brosnan . A feature of the 2nd half was our defending , our halfback line of Aoife Ireland , Lucy o Connor and Amy o Rourke were outstanding and gave a great platform for our attacks . Sadie Murphy at full back flanked by Aoibheann Joy and Grace Leonard did excellent work too . Panel : Mille Sheehan , Grace Leonard, Sadie Murphy , Aoibheann Joy .
