Shamrocks 5-6, Ballygarvan 1-2

Shamrocks won the Mid South Grouop 4 football league on Saturday in Shanbally after a hard fought win over Ballygarvan. The Shamrocks win was built on goals that were scored early in both halves, 3 in the first 15 minutes of the game and 2 in the first 10 minutes of the second half. They were in control for most of the game but found Ballygarvan to break down and they dug in and fought bravely to the very end, finishing with some nice scores of their own.

But the day belonged to the Shamrocks lads. It was a wonderful team performance with some brilliant displays all over the pitch. Well done to the players, coaches and parents. There was a big support on hand as well as John Herlihy presented the trophy to Shamrocks captain, Aaron Sisk, on behalf of Rebel Óg who were missing in action.

Inniscarra 0-12, Ó Murchús 0-7

A 5 point loss in Ballyanley on Wednesday evening.

With the game against Na Piarsaigh not taking place recently, thats the only outstanding game in the group. Ó Murchús currently sit in third and a result in that game would clarify who goes through.

 

Inniscarra led by 0-8 to 0-4 at HT.

The U12s have travelled far and wide this year, mostly to West Cork and all the milage has paid off as they find themselves in two League Finals

Both teams after U6.U5 Blitz V Ballinhassig 20.9.24

A great effort from both Shamrocks & Ballinhassig Under 6s (and some 5s) who played a full hour of Hurling followed by Football in Shanbally on Friday evening.

For the Shamrocks players, it was their first EVER time playing a full game of Hurling and Football and we hope they have long careers in the Green of Shamrocks.

The original plan on Friday night was 3 short games of 10 minutes each but such was the enthusiasm of the players, that plan soon went out the window and they played well up to an hour of mostly hurling with a game of football at the end. All players were magnificent. Well done and thanks to all the coaches and there was great support on the bank from all ages!!!!
