County Minor League Semi Final

Bally/Asdee  4-10   St. Pats, Blennerville  3-16.

Having reached the semi final stage of the County Minor League, Division 6 “B” our minor footballers had high expectations of reaching the decider but in a high scoring contest played at O Rahilly Park, Ballylongford on Friday evening last it was the visitors who prevailed and booked their place in the County Final. In fairness St. Pats seemed to have the upper hand on proceedings for the bigger part of the game and no doubt deserved their victory having enjoyed an interval lead of 2-10 to 0-7. On the changeover the home side upped their game and an early 1-1 from Liam Mulvihill had them back in the game. However Asdee/Bally now as they were enjoying plenty possession but their shooting in front of goals left a lot to be desired and really this was to leave an uphill battle as St. Pats were more economical and  hit 3pts in a row followed by a well taken goal. Two black cards didn’t help the situation for the combination side but they still battled away and substitute Anton O Connor struck for 2 goals along with another from Conor Carmody but the flourish came too late to trouble the Tralee side who finished with a deserved 3pt victory.
