Ballinhassig 2-9, Shamrocks 2-7

A second defeat in a row for the footballers but as the scoreline suggests, the lads came close to making up for the defeat 2 weeks ago

There is no doubt that the better team were Ballinhassig; they had more in them especially in attack where the scores came about much easier than the Shamrocks lads. In that respect, the Shamrocks backs did very well overall considering the pressure they were under.

Ballinhassig led at HT by 3 points, 1-5 to 0-5 with Cian Lynch the main Shamrocks scorer. Ballinhassig struck for a goal straight after HT to move into a commanding position. Shamrocks had other ideas and their never say die attitude was rewarded with 2 goals in the space of 3 minutes midway through the second half, scored by Coby O’Grady and Josh Bartlett. However, in the final 10 minutes they couldnt draw level and Ballinhassig closed out the game to win by 2.

Once again, a very encouraging display from all the players in the green jersey and these young players are only going to get better with games.

Team: C. Corkery, G. Ronayne, D. Barry, K. Maye, R. Barrett, C. Kidney, N. Hayes, D. Herlihy, A. O’Grady, C. O’Grady, S. Collins, J. Bartlett, C. O’Donovan, B. O’Mahony, C. Lynch. Sub – Jack Wilson.

Shamrocks 2-12, Aghinagh 3-5

The under 16 footballers started their season on Saturday afternoon in a place called Rusheen, which is the home of Aghinagh GAA Club. It was a successful trip to Mid Cork as the boys came out on top of a good home team, winning by 2-12 to 3-5 after a good tough game.

Shamrocks led 2-6 to 2-3 at halftime and pushed on with 0-9 in the second half to win by 4 points in the end. Michael Dorney and Shane O’Flynn were among Shamrocks best players on the day.

Ó Murchús 4-14, Newcestown 0-8

A good start to the season for the Minors of Diarmuid Ó Murchús in Newcestown on Saturday evening, beating the home side by 4-14 to 0-8. There were 3 Shamrocks players in action. Shane O’Flynn, David Herlihy and Cian Lynch.
Well done to all on the convincing win

Carrigaline 2-18, Shamrocks 1-10

Defeat in the opening league game played in Carrigaline. The young team put up a brave performance; they were level at halftime but Carrigaline took over in the second half and ran out comfortable winners.

The management were reasonably happy after the game considering all that this team have faced this off-season. They will only get better with players who want to play for the green jersey.
