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.

Tribute to Liam McElligott 1953 - 2026 There was a great sense of sadness on Saturday 30th May when the news spread around the parish of Ballymacelligott that Liam McElligott of Caher had passed away. From the late 60’s to the early 90’s Liam starred at centre field for his local club & district teams. He played Kerry Minor in 1971 at centre field in a team that included Tim Kennelly, Páudie Shea & Mikie Sheehy. Liam was a great fielder of the ball and played with great stamina & heart. Nowadays players & management arrive at the venue an hour before the match, but when Liam was playing, the ball would be about to be thrown in when Liam would appear running on to the pitch pulling on his jersey. We always knew that Liam would show. Liam served as Vice Chairman of Ballymacelligott GAA for a number of years and also as a selector for our senior team.He could always be relied on to support anything for the betterment of the club. Liam’s input was invaluable & his opinions & advice were highly respected. Going back to his earlier years, Liam attended Clogher NS & afterwards attended St. Pat’s Secondary School in Castlesland. From there he secured a post in the Civil Service in Dublin before returning to take over the running of the family farm in Caher.We remember Liam as easy going, unhurried, always willing to help everyone. He always had time to discuss the affairs of the world & had a keen interest in his own locality & people. Your kindness & your loyalty is what we remember to the end. Liam, May God grant you eternal rest & may the sod lay lightly on your gentle breast. Our condolences to his wife Anne, children Colm, Maeve & Grainne, brother Dan and sisters Margaret, Noreen, Marian, Eileen and Joan and all the extended family. A guard of honour on behalf of the club will be held outside Clogher Church gathering at 10.15am Wednesday morning. Ballymacelligott Gaa ... See MoreSee Less

Our U14 girls team took to the field in Ballymac on Sunday afternoon against a gallant Duagh side who made the home team work hard for their victory. Both teams were depleted and credit is due to Duagh who played the game with only one substitute. Ballymac, also short some of their regulars were bolstered by some of our U12 players, who didn’t at all look out of place with the older girls.Both teams played fast football. The skill levels and determination from both sides was tremendous to watch. Duagh started with a brace of goals but Ballymac never lost their composure and clawed their way back into the game to lead by three points at the break.With the breeze at their backs, the Ballymac girls attacked relentlessly but Duagh, to their credit, never surrendered but in the end it was the home team who ran out deserving winners.Great displays from all the girls who took to the pitch. The mentors were delighted with their attitude and their application in what was a tough fixture.Ballymacelligott: Millie Sheehan, Grace Leonard, Sadie Murphy, Càit Murphy, Doireann Broderick, Lucy O Connor, Aoife Ireland, Leah Murphy, Ruby Sugrue, Aobha Bolger, Katyanna O Connor, Ashley Greer, Aoibheann Joy, Charlotte Collins, Alison Butler, Kate Martin, Megan Lyons, Clíona Brosnan, Hannah Butler, Ciara Leen, Aoibhìnn Leen, Jasmine Roche. ...
