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.

Our defence was excellent throughout, Ryan Kelliher , Sean Ireland, Jayden Roche, Cuan Maguire and Shane o Connell standing up to the challenge when St pats were attacking.The game was level at halftime 2:05 to Ballymac 11 points .The contest was much the same in the second half with both sides playing some great football with further excellent scores. A goal from Kyle o Sullivan, 3 points from Dara Fealy and a beautiful strike from Jack o Connell put Ballymac in the lead in the final Quarter.However two quick goals from st pats had the game level in the final minutes of the game.A pointed free from Conor Mangan looked like winning the game for the home side but ST PATS had one last attempt and drew level with the final score of the game.The game finished Ballymac 3 18 St Pats Blennerville 5 12 .Well done to all players on a terrific performance from start to finish.Some of the point taking against the wind was outstanding.The link up play for some of the scores was a joy to watch.Thanks to St Pats for a fine sporting game.We play keel at home next Sunday in Ballymac , throw in @17:30 . ...

💙💛 Ballymac U8 Girls LGFA 💙💛A brilliant evening of football on Monday as our U8 girls welcomed our neighbours, Currow, for two excellent 7-a-side Go Games.The girls showcased their developing skills right across the field, with some great teamwork, tackling and passing on display. A special mention to our youngest players, who have really gripped the game, the rules and the importance of teamwork this season. 👏It’s not easy to finish a full day at school and then bring that much energy to a game, but they continue to do it with huge enthusiasm (and gymnastics)! 💪🤸🏻‍♀️A big thank you to Currow for joining us for such a fun evening. 🖤💛Next up: Go Games Blitz away in Kilcummin this Friday, followed by a very special appearance for some of our players this Sunday at our Ladies’ Home Championship game against Spa. 🏐💙💛#UpBallymac #BallymacAbú #LGFA #U8Girls #GoGames ...
