U15s Premier; Ballymackey vs Loughderg


This morning Ballymackey u15s played their penultimate game of the league season. Going into the game 3 points clear at the top of the table meant this was a crunch game for our boys.

Conditions were difficult with a strong wind but despite playing against the wind in the first half Ballymackey created the greater amount of chances and were unlucky not to be 1 or 2 up. The hard work from our boys paid off midway through the half with some good passing and great running by David Feehan with a tidy finish to go 1 up.

Unfortunately our lead was short lived and Loughderg replied with a tidy finish of their own minutes later, leaving it 1-1 at half time.

In the second half again Ballymackey took the initiative making most of the running but unable to unlock a strong Loughderg defensive display. Then with less than 10 minutes to go Jake Hackett latched onto a superb dipping shot that flew in !! 2-1 Ballymackey.

Today we were really happy to have a full squad of players and what a difference it made especially in the closing minutes allowing us to change to a more defensive formation, add fresh legs and confidently seeing out a great win.

With Nenagh and Killavilla drawing their match this morning it means Ballymackey are Under 15s Premier NTSFL League Champions 🏆

A Superb performance from all the squad today. It’s a fabulous achievement by this group of players, this is their third premier league in 4 years and without a doubt one of the strongest underage teams you’ll see. The boys never give up attitude is reflected in their results this season, so well done to you all.

We go into our last league game against Silvermines as Champions and hoping to keep our unbeaten record with Cup competition fast approaching.

Again well done to the boys today and all season, a hard fought and well won league title. Congratulations 🏆
