U21: The U21 footballers won the County 'C' final last Sunday in Annacarty against Emly. The team put in a very strong performance, winning out by 3-08 to 0-11. Leading at half-time 2-02 to 0-04, with goals coming from Frank Troy and David Ryan. The second half was very competitive, a great save from RJ Ryan kept Emly at bay, while inspirational points for Paddy Kelly and John Ryan kept the scoreboard ticking over for us. Then Brendan Ryan's goal near the end proved vital in finally seeing off Emly. See match report for more details. Congratulations to all the players and mentors involved in a great win.
U-12 Football: Our U-12's travelled to Kilcolman on Friday night last to play our third game in the Premier 12's Games. This time our opponents were Burgess. This was a lovely game of football throughout & was well contested by both teams. Ballinahinch finished the first half leading by a single point. Burgess got a couple of goals in the second half & as the final whistle approached Karl Kelly fired home a goal to level up the scores & the match finished in a draw (4-04 to 3-07). Karl finished the night with a personal tally of 1-03 after coming on as a sub in the second half. Again this was a great team performance where every player played well & a draw was well deserved.

This was a tournament organised between both clubs to promote handball and to promote friendship between clubs. It involved players between the ages of 7 to 13 years & included boys & girls. Players from both clubs played on teams together & accumulated aces from every match they played. Every player played in every game which involved their team & each team played all other teams. The finals were played in Nenagh last Saturday morning, after which there was a little party held for all the players & all the medals were presented to the various teams. A special word of congratulations to Sinead Meagher who was unbeaten throughout the whole tournament in all her singles matches and to Brian Keane & Billy McGrath who were only beaten once throughout.
