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.

“An té a bhíonn croíuil, beidh sé buan”- he who has pride will endure

On Sun 11th Oct we had our U12 girls final year get together which we marked with a fantastic parents v players football match . It was great to see so many parents and siblings showing their support for our brilliant group of girls.👏👏The parents may have been shy to take the field but their competitive spirit wasn’t long coming out when the ball was thrown in and the players didn’t shy away from the challenge . Some speculation the girls had passed the referee a brown envelope before the game, the parents suggested maybe a trip to specsavers with some of the refereeing decisions 😂😂After an hour of end to end fun on the pitch and just as the parents were about to collapse the final whistle blew with the girls taking the win with the last score of the game . 🏆A massive thank you goes also to the senior ladies team members who showed up and took part in the game also , it gave the girls a big boost to be sharing the pitch and playing with you!Great to see the younger siblings and family members taking to the field too and enjoying the fun. Overall a fantastic way to end the year on a high.Following the final whistle we went to the club rooms where a surprise party was held for everyone who took part 🍕🍟Pizza, jellies, tea & coffee and homebaked treats galore kindly made by our own Noreen Brosnan.It was fantastic to see everyone in such great spirits after the game , and no pulled hamstrings for the adults was a big plus 😁.The management team would like to say massive thanks to everyone for all the support that has been unwavering to this remarkable group of talented footballers this year, hopefully their future in the Ballymac colours will yield years of trophies for the club, as they follow the foundations of those players who go before them.🤞🤞The day was topped of by a very generous donation of beautiful new O'Neills Ballymac tops sponsored by Donal & Elaine o Riordan of O'Riordan Bus Hire , which were presented to the players and management of the team.Management would like to express our sincere gratitudego raibh míle maith agaibh to Donal and Elaine for their support and the tops will be worn with pride by all involved . 💙💛 ...

☀️🏐 A special day to round off a fantastic season! Today, Sunday 18th October, Ballymac Mothers & Others travelled to Kerins O’Rahillys for a very special fundraising blitz in loving memory of their dear friend and teammate, Alison O’Sullivan, with proceeds going to Palliative Care Tralee. The sun shone brightly for the second year running, making a beautiful day even more special. It was a privilege to be part of such a meaningful occasion and a fitting tribute to Alison. ❤️We enjoyed four great games against John Mitchels, Dr Crokes, Churchill and Abbeydorney — the perfect way to finish a fantastic season!A huge thank you to our Bainisteoir Supreme, Anthony Currans, our brilliant assistant manager Oonagh Rahilly, our sponsor James Sugrue, and all our crew, big and small, who support, encourage and cheer us on at training and matches throughout the year.
