Ballingarry’s 15s traveled to Ennis to play the CDSL Under 15 Division 1 champions in the National Cup and recorded a marvellous 3-0 success.

U-8 Cup 1/4 Final Replay - Ballingarry 2 (Molloy, O' Connor) NCW 1 aet
A first ever hat-trick from Marcus Moore plus first club goals from Niall Cahill and Kieran Condron sent Ballingarry through to their fifth league cup final and a meeting against Athea United next Sunday at Clounreask. As the scoreline suggests this was an easy task for Ballingarry.
Team: Kenrick, Cahill, Condron, C. Kiely, Fitzgerald (C. Doherty), S. Doherty, Moore, Corrigan, O'Grady, Alymer, Kelly.
The 8s progressed to the cup semi final and a home game against Adare United in an exciting repaly against visiting NCW. Ballingarry fell behind in the first half but top scorer Michael Molloy sent the game to extra time with an equailser three minutes from time. NCW were awarded a penalty with the last kick which they missed. Callum O'Connor proved to be the Ballingarry hero with the winner two minutes from the end of the game.
.: B Team star in The Great Escape
In what is surely one on the greatest escapes from relegation in the clubs history the B team will remain in division 3 for next season having avoided the drop on the last day of the season. Both Adare United B and Shauntrade were beaten and so will be relegated when a win for either would have seen Ballingarry go down. Ballingarry stay up by the smallest of margins.
In the latest FAI Vantage Club draw Conor O'Donoghue (Ireland v N Ireland), Mike O'Neill (Wales v Scotland), Ian Hickey (N Ireland v Wales) and Derry Murphy (Ireland v Scotland) are the winners of the two Premium tickets for the games. Congratulations to the winners.

Limerick Desmond Youth Cup Final, Clounreask - Ballingarry 1 (Clancy) Abbeyfeale United 0
Ballingarry have hit a rich vein of silver over the past week collecting no fewer than four trophies to bring their tally for the season to six and so equalling their best ever season, and with a 13s cup final, a 14s semi final, the 8s still in two competitions and the junior A team in the league cup it may even get better.
On Thursday the 14s set the ball rolling when they hit visiting Ferry Rangers for six to seal the under 14 division 3 title. It is their second under 14 title and their first since 1994 when they won the division 1 title. Nathan Clancy opened the scoring after three minutes with a fine effort from outside the box. Davin O'Donnell finished well to make it 2-0 before Rangers reduced the deficit but Aaron O'Connor restored Ballingarrys 2 goal advantage before the break. The second half saw two Sean Moran goals and a late Cathal O'Keeffe effort confirm their superiorty. This was their last game and it sees them complete their programme unbeaten in the league. Following the game captain Mikey Morrissey received the cup from league registrar Ger Costello.
On Friday the junior captain Pat Kenrick received the Division 1 trophy from fixtures secretary PJ Hogan following their 1-1 draw with visiting Old Mill. They fell behind in the first half with Darren Alymers first goal of the season preserving their unbeaten league record this team, the first time in the clubs history that a junior side have gone an entire league campaign unbeaten. They will now take their place in the Premier next season.
Then finally on Saturday the youths made up for the disappointment of last seasons cup defeat with victory over Abbeyfeale United at Clounreask. It was a game of few chances for Ballingarry with Abbeyfeale making most of the running. A brilliant save from a free by David Condron kept it scoreless at the break coupled with an outstanding display from left full Richard O'Kelly kept Ballingarry in the game. Then with the game in the last minute of normal time out and a replay looking likely O'Kelly picked out Dean Clancy with an inch perfect cross from the right for Clancy to brilliantly head home. It sealed an historic double for Ballingarry having already won the division 1 title and when Tim O'Connell presented the cup to Sean Linehan it confirmed the second time that Ballingarry had won the Desmond Youth cup.

Sean Moran got the third following a brilliant turn and finish. Cathal O'Keeffe was outstanding at midfield but man ot the match was Nathan Clancy who has excelled in his new position at centre midfield.

Friday 8th April 2011 - Ballingarry Clinch Division 1 Title
Ballingarry AFC were crowned Division 1 champions for the third time on Friday last (April 8th 2011) without kicking a ball. The 2-0 loss suffered at home by St Itas to Glantine Rovers means that Ballingarry can not be caught with the 36 points accumulated from a so far unbeaten league campaign which sees them return to the Premier at the first time of asking. The return of George Quinlivan to the helm has delivered instant success. At this point they are a massive 13 points clear of their nearest rivals and now the focus must surely turn to securing a second league and league cup double. Having proven themselves by far the best team in the league they are surely the team to beat in the divisional cup.
Congratulations to Quinlivan and his squad on their fine achievement.
In other club news this week the 10s bowed out of their cup on Tuesday in Broadford as the locals went through where Jerome O'Connor got Ballingarrys score. On Saturday last the 8s progressed to the second round of the cup when Michael Molloy got all four goals in the 4-0 win at Glin Rovers.

The 12s bowed out of the cup at Abbeyfeale on Saturday and so there will be no repeat of last years final appearance. Darragh Rankin-Hehir gave Ballingarry the perfect start with a goal in the opening minute. Abbey equalised before the break but with no more goals the game went to extra time where the homeside ran out easy winners.
The youths left themselves just one point away from Division 1 glory with a 2-1 win at Broadford. Sean Lenihan and Shane Doherty form the spot gave Ballingarry a half time cushion but when United reduced the arrears to the minimum in the second it set up a nervy finish. Rathkeale are the only team that can draw level on points with Ballingarry at this stage but to do so they must win both their remaning games and hope Ballingarry lose their final game against NCW. Even then it will only force a playoff, an unlikely outcome.
On Sunday the junior A team left themselves just three points from the Division 1 title thanks to their 2-1 win against Athea United. Kevin Fordes brace secured the points.

Ballingarry all but clinched the division 1 title last Monday when they defeated visiting Abbeyfeale United to leave themselves needing just one point from their two remaining games to retain the title.
Ballingarry went a goal down from a well worked move. Niall Houlihan restored parity early in the second in a real ding dong battle in which both sides had chances. However it was Ballingarry who took one of those chances when they made the most of an opening when the ball came back off the crossbar and Niall Houlihan was on hand to slot home for his second.

Three of the four games played by the club over the weekend were cup games with a full quota progressing, with the fourth game an under 10 league game that saw Ballingarry register a 0-0 home draw with Kildimo United. Earlier the 14s had entertained Kildimo's 14s in the second round of the cup. Coasting at 2-0 with goals from Sean Moran and Davin O'Donnell they somehow let it slip and found themselves 3-2 down with just two minutes remaining. At that point it was gung ho from Ballingarry and fortunately they were awarded a penalty when Aaron O'Connor was upended in the box. Mikey Hickey duly converted to send the tie to extra time. Mikey Morrissey with a screamer from twenty yards restored Ballingarrys lead in the second period of extra time before Nathan Clancy secured their passage with an equally fine but different finish two minutes from the whistle.
The youths were in Pallaskenry where they found themselves three up after just fifteen minutes with two from Francis Minogue and another from Sean Lenihan. Pallas made it interesting with a converted free at this point but two more goals from Minogue and Shane Doherty saw last years finalists through.

Ballingarry and NCW youths dished up yet another high scoring cup tie in Ballingarry last Saturday with the visitors progressing in extra-time. This repeat of last years Division 1 league cup final saw Ballingarry go two up and then go two down before they finally forced extra time at 4-4. But it could well have been Ballingarry going through when they were awarded a penalty in the final minute but unfortunately Dean Clancys effort from the spot and rebound was saved by the keeper. On the mark for Ballingarry were Dean Clancy, Francie Minogue, Sean Lenihan and Richard O'Kelly with a goal each.
The 14s put clear daylight between themselves and second placed Ferry Rangers with a comprehensive 4-0 win at Old Mill. Sean Moran gave them a 1-0 half time lead with Davin O'Donnell adding a second before a brace from Nathan Clancy secured the points. Ballingarry now find themselves nine points ahead of Ferry Rangers who lost at home to Kilcornan. However Ferry have two games in hand and have also to play Ballingarry twice so there will be no room for complacency.
On a day when Denis Kelly became only the third player in Ballingarrys history to score 100 competitive goals for Ballingarry, the club secured a hard earned draw away to nearest challengers Pallaskenry on Sunday. Ballingarry had the lead at half time thanks to the latest "century" man, this after Shane O'Doherty had seen a penalty saved. The hosts equalised from their first attack of the second half. Still Ballingarry continued to make the better chances with both Alymer and Kelly seeing the keeper deny them.
Team: Kenrick, C. Kiely, Moore, Fitz (Corrigan), Condron, O'Grady, Kennedy, F. Kiely (C. Doherty), S. Doherty, Alymer, Kelly.

Junior Division 3 - Ballingarry B 2 (Doyle, Barry Fitzgerald) Adare Utd B 0
Ballingarrys youth side travelled to Clonmel on Saturday where they bowed out of the Munster Youth Cup to 2004 winners Clonmel Celtic by the only goal scored six minutes into extra time by the home side. The game was as tight as the scoreline suggests with chances few and far between. David Condron was the busier of the keepers without ever having to be spectacular. The only goal of the game was scored by the Celtic centre half when a free conceded by Gerard O'Leary was delivered to the far post where the player headed home. It was the only highlight of a largely dull game played in poor weather conditions.
The 14s remain top of division 3 with a hard earned 2-1 win at home to Kilcornan. Sean Moran gave Ballingarry the lead early on but the visitors were level at the break thanks to a well struck goal from distance. Ballingarry were to regain the lead from the spot when Mikey Hickey converted following a hand ball by the Kilcornan defender. It was a lead that Ballingarry were to maintain to the end.
On Sunday the B team recorded just their second league win of the season with a 2-0 home success against Adare United B. Ballingarrys scorers were Kristian Doyle and Barry Fitzgerald.

Both table topping Ballingarry teams secured their positions with New Year wins. The youths were in NCW where they had to come from a goal down to secure all three points. Pa Healy restored parity for Ballingarry only to see his side surrender a 2-1 lead given to them by Dean Clancy. NCW scored what looked a point saver with just minutes remaining until Shane Doherty got the winner for the visitors seconds from time.
The 14s also remained top of the pile with a massive 9-1 home win against Killeaney. Eight of Ballingarrys goals came in the second period as the visitors crumbled. Cathal O' Keeffe gave Ballingarry the lead which was cancelled for the break but a Davin O'Donnell hat-trick, a brace each from Nathan Clancy and Sean Moran with Patrick Shelton also getting in on the act saw Ballingarry easy winners.
