Ballysteen GAA
Senior ACL
On Saturday afternoon we welcomed Rathkeale to Ballysteen for our third All County League game of the championship. With a win and a draw under our belt already in the competition, a win would have put us in good contention with a number of fixtures coming up in the next couple of months.
We started brightly in perfect conditions for football and opened a healthy lead within the opening 10 minutes with a Mark Ranahan penalty putting us 1-4 to 0-2 ahead. With our defence well on top in the opening period we had a healthy 1-12 to 0-6 lead at the half.
Yet Rathkeale to their credit never gave in and had the opening three scores of the second half in quick succession. Rathkeale never relented and had the deficit reduced to a goal with 10 minutes to play.
With scores hard to come by for us in the second half, our team as a collective dug in hard to keep them at bay late on to secure a hard-fought victory with the score reading 1-14 to 0-16 in our favour at the end. Team: Conor Ranahan, Jason Daly, Kevin McMahon, Conor Enright, Evan O’Donoghue (0-1), Shane Gallagher, Cillian Ferris, James O’Meara (0-2), Paudie Vaughan, Patrick Moran (0-2), Mark Ranahan (1-6), Sean Whelan, Jack Neville (0-1), Shane Hallinan (0-2), Maurice Somers. Subs used: Bill Casey, David Holland.
Junior B
Our Junior B’s put on a sparkling display of football on Sunday afternoon to get our first victory of the season, winning out 0-17 to 0-6 against Athea in Ballysteen.
After a disappointing loss to Knockaderry the previous week, we wasted little time in stamping our authority on this game opening up a 0-4 to 0-2 lead within the opening 12 minutes. At half time we had extended our lead to 0-8 to 0-4.
The second half followed the same suit with our defence limiting Athea to very little. which was shown in their return of only two points in the second period.
Contrastingly, up front we had a number of scorers, led by the impressive Jamie Moran who notched 0-9 from play and placed balls.
The eleven-point margin of victory was well deserved by this team who have sent out a message of intent. Team: Brian Neville, Paul Doyle, Eamonn Murphy, Callum Daly, John Blackwell, Roger Somers, Cathal Anglim(0-1), Cian O’Connell (0-2), David Holland (0-2), Caolan Rushe, Declan Ryan, Anthony Ryan (0-2), Jeff Duggan, Ian Ranahan (0-1), Jamie Moran (0-9) Subs used: Colum Sweeney, Alan Kehoe.

Well done to everyone who took to their feet on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday saw our younger competitors take to the grass as they ran in a variety of races from wobblier to mini teen followed by an obstacle race.
On Sunday 13 was the main event the 6K walk and 10K run which was a great success, congratulations to the winners- women were Jessica Coyne, Hilkk Kontro and Donna Hayes.
The men were Niall Shanahan, Colm Tucker and Declan Ginane. A very well done to the first club member back Breandán O’hAnnaidh, who after helping in the children’s run the day before played in the intermediate football match Saturday night and still had the energy to run and win the Pat Barron trophy which he accepted from Mike Barron.
A big thank you to all our committee members and to everyone who helped out over the weekend as stewards, administration or caterers.

U-15 Hurling
Mungret St. Pauls 2-7 Monaleen 1-8
These teams are not strangers to each other. Monaleen were the winners in the Féíle final last year and as always both teams gave a cracking game.
Mungret St. Pauls had the best start and did not let up throughout the game with Monaleen playing catch up the whole time they got to a point behind but Mungret St. Pauls pulled ahead to keep the game. Mungret St. Pauls now top the table with wins in all their matches while Monaleen needed the win to get through.
Junior Hurling
Mungret St. Pauls 1-9 Kildimo Pallaskenry 3-11
An entertaining game with a lot of classic moves played in Mungret on Tuesday 8 May 2018. With evenly matched teams each score was equalled many times in the first half, only a point in it to Kildimo Pallaskenry at the break.
The second half started out more relaxed with a lot of wides from both sides and 3 chances on goal for Mungret St. Pauls missed. Kildimo Pallaskenry stepped it up in the last few minutes and popped in 2 more goals within minutes of each other to pull ahead and take the game.
Ladies U-16 Football
Mungret: 4-10 Drom/Broadford: 4-06
The Mungret St. Pauls ladies U-16 footballers had a very hard fought victory over a gallant Drom/Broadford side in the final of the County League – Section B Cup final at LIT on Monday 6 May.
This bodes well for the Championship later in the year. A special word of thanks to the parents and supporters who attended at LIT on Monday.
U-15 Football
Mungret St. Pauls 6-9 Askeaton, Ballysteen, Kilcornan 1-3
Mungret St.Pauls U-15 footballs have been biting at the bit to get into an U-15 game and they eventually got one in the last game of the league with Fr. Caseys pulling out and NewCastle West conceeding their match to them they were delighted to get the game played in Askeaton on Wednesday 9 May. They played this in style and came out well on top.
Intermediate Football
Mungret St. Pauls 1-7 Ballylanders 5-12
On Saturday 12 May in Ballylanders, this was a one sided game but Mungret St. Pauls did not give up throughout.
Ballylanders had a goal and a point up before Mungret St. Pauls scored their first point, they followed it up with a goal and a point before the break.
Off the blocks Mungret St. Pauls came out strong adding 3 points to one of Ballylanders but Ballylanders took advantage of the Mungret St. Pauls sub goalie and went for goals, while some were deflected others were hard to stop.
Mungret St. Pauls know where to strengthen their weakness and will come back better from this game.
Patrickswell GAA
Junior A Hurlers
The Junior A Hurlers produced a strong performance to see off Na Piarsaigh in the City League semi-final. Patrickswell’s forwards were in a rich vein of form in the first half, while our defence were able to limit the Caherdavin men’s chances. By the half-time whistle, the ‘Well were ahead by 3-3 to 0-5.
The second half followed the same trend as Patrickswell controlled the possession and didn’t allow Na Piarsaigh to creep back into the match. The final result was 4-9 to 0-7 for the ‘Well. The final is scheduled for Saturday May 19. Congratulations to the team and management.
