Minor Football
Our
minor football team play their second game in the county championship this
Sunday morning away to Gaultir. This should prove a very tough test for the
lads involved and hopefully they will come away with another victory.
Under 14
Our
Under14 football team kicked off their championship on Sunday morning last in
Ballygunner field against a very strong Gaultir team. The home team looked
sharper throughout and in the end came away with a fairly comfortable victory.
However our lads battled hard throughout and at the end of the game the score
line was Gaultir 3-5 Ballinacourty 1-3. Training for this group continues every
Monday and Thursday.
Under 16
Our
Under16 football team play their first championship game away to Tramore on St
Patrick’s Day morning in Tramore. This game is a re fixture as when they were
due to play last week it was postponed due to a water logged field in Tramore.
