SEPT 10th:
BME U10's V Moorefield U10's match report:
Moorefield U10's travelled to Ballymore for their group 3 Southboard league game. The opening of the first half saw the visitors take control with a couple of quick scores. Ballymore battled hard but the physicality of the visitors meant they struggled to get in to the game during the first half. In the second half Ballymore changed tack going toe to toe with the visitors and despite playing against the wind dominated much of the half. This was a very even game overall with some really impressive scores.
Finally, a special mention for the two Ballymore girls on the pitch, Abbey Grace and Eimear Lynch, despite playing against a really tough all boys Moorefield team they never shirked the tackles and gave as good as they got. Well done to all the players.

Match report for Hollywood V Ballymore Eustace U10:
Ballymore made the short trip to neighbours Hollywood for the opening game of phase 2 of the Southboard U10's league. Having moved to a higher league group after performing so well in phase 1 of the league the visitors were expecting a big challenge and that's just what they got.
The hosts took control in the opening of the first half with the Hollywood players showing great composure on the ball and awareness of space. While Ballymore had a slow start they managed to get into the pace of the game and were starting to put pressure on the opposition at the end of the half.
Ballymore started brightly in the second half and managed to break forward on a number of occasions. In response Hollywood put the foot down and were adding to their tally during the middle of the second half. Ballymore still had something left in the tank though and finished the game with some really well worked scores.

Match report for the Southboard Group 4 U10's game between Kildangan and Ballymore:
Ballymore traveled to Kildangan for their 4th game of the Southboard U10's Go Games league. The hosts started brightly converting their early chances clinically. Ballymore came back strong and managed to keep the scoreboard ticking over during the first half although they could have got more if it weren't for the excellent Kildangan goalkeeper. The Kildangan players were keeping Ballymore on their toes with some clever passing during the rest of the half.
There was a quick start from Ballymore in the second half but Kildangan had their defence in order and managed to deal with most of the Ballymore attacks. Despite the warm evening the players on both sides didn't let their intensity levels drop and gave a really good account of themselves.
