On Tuesday the boys from 4th, 5th and 6th class heading off to Banteer to participate in the 12 a side Rural school’s competition. Up first were Lyre NS. A fantastic game of football where both sides were evenly matched with our boys coming out on top at the final whistle, winning by 3 points. Next up we took on Dernagree. Again both sides traded scores with some amazing skills on display. Leading by 2 points with the time almost up, a goal at the last kick of the game ending up with Ballydesmond losing by the narrowest of margins. Last up we took on Cullen. A strong physical side saw them winning well at half time but the Bally boys never gave up and played a suburb 2nd half showing huge determination and spirit and getting some great scores. Well done to the boys who had a great day and played some super team football 👏

On Friday the girls from 4th to 6th classes travelled to Rathcoole to take on Knocknagree, Derinagree and Freemount in the 10 a side Rural School’s competition. Three very tough physical games for our girls who played absolutely fantastic from the throw in to the final whistle in each game. All teams were very evenly matched all over the field but it was our solid defence, hard working mid field and the scoring power of our forwards that proved the difference in the end with our girls winning out all three and booking ourselves a place in the final v Lyre next Friday 5th May.
