Junior A Football League: On Thursday last, all roads led to Mackey Park for the semi-final of the County Junior A Football League  and the meeting of Bally and Mungret St.Pauls.

In a lacklustre first half which saw the 2pts a piece scored in the first 29min, and just before the whistle was blown to end proceedings, Bally were awarded a penalty after a  foul in the box. Jack Cross stepped up and dispatched the ball to the back of the net, this was to be the last action of the half as bally went in at the break with a 3pt lead.

The lads hit the ground running at the start of the second half with a couple of points off the mark from Paul Martin and Jack Cross to further extend our lead. Mungret  hit back with a couple of points of their own to leave the game poised nicely at 1:06-0:06 at the midway point in the second half.

After 16min, Mungret were reduced to 14 men after their No.12 received a black card for a  foul on Jack Owens, Jack Owens made the most of the numerical advantage as he found himself in front of the Mungret goal on 2 occasion, and popped the ball over the bar on both occasions. 

Jack Cross and Paul Martin scored further points to extend our lead and put some daylight between the teams. In the closing stages, Mungrets “never say die attitude” played dividend as the found the net ,but it was a case of too little too late as he game finished B/B 1:12-1:07 Mungret to see Bally win by 5pts

Speaking at the launch on Friday evening last in the Halla Beag, Knockaderry, the local camogie club chairperson Orla Ambrose was keen to point out that "the winner of the top prize could travel to near any destination in the world in what would undoubtedly be a life changing holiday".
