Senior Football League Dr. Crokes 0:14 Ballymac: 3:09. Our senior side suffered their first defect of the year last Sunday in Round 5 of the County League. The adage of goals win games was certainly to the fore and ultimately the difference between the sides. Ballymac started the stronger and lead 1:02 to no score after 5 minutes. We did however settle into the game and trailed by 2 points at the short whistle. Midway through the second half we draw level but following missed scoring opportunities conceded our second goal. Congratulations to Shay O’Meara, Sean Fitzgerald, Charlie Keating and Alex Hennigan, all St. Brendan’s students, on making their first starts for our senior team. Next up is Austin Stacks in Connolly Park next Saturday night.
