Moorefield V Ballymore:
There was almost a football festival going on in Moorefield on Tuesday evening with three u9's games taking place at the same time. The Moorefield versus Ballymore game was a competitive pairing with two strong teams clashing.
Some early goals from Moorefield put Ballymore on the back foot but the second quarter saw the visitors fight tooth and nail to get themselves back in to the game.
The second half was all out attack from both sides and some genuinely skillful scores were taken by the two teams, it was nice to see both sets of supporters applaud the high quality from both teams. Nonetheless neither side were taking it easy on each other and the tackles were very brave.
Both teams displayed excellent skills early on in the first quarter with both defences very strong with brilliant blocks and tackles the mini moores drew first blood with a great team effort to work the ball in to a scoring position and harry Cummins taking a great score Ballymore worked very well to get there scores the next 3 quarters provided the parents and spectators with a great game of football with each team playing excellent football. Well done to both teams
Thanks to Ian Doyle & Sinead Nolan for the photographs.

Robertstown V Ballymore.
The 4th game in the u9's Southboard league between Robertstown and Ballymore started at a rip roaring pace with the Robertstown team camped around the Ballymore goal. A number of quick fire scores gave Robertstown a strong lead. The visitors finally managed to break the siege and got some nice breakaway scores to even things up.

Ballymore were the visitors to Ballyteague for the second round of the u9's Southboard league. The game started with some direct attacking from the visitors with the Ballyteague defence doing enough to stop the initial attack. A fine score from distance by Ballymore was the opening point of the game but the home side showed off their scoring abilities with a clinically taken goal.
The game was end to end for the duration with some really incisive passing impressing the spectators. The players from both sides were a tough bunch and put in tackles that older players would have been proud of. It was a very entertaining game that the kids really enjoyed with lots of hard work put in by all the players.

Ballymore V Kildangan
Match report for this evenings game below.
Kildangan made the trip over to Ballymore for the first game of the U9's Southboard league. Straight from the throw in the enthusiasm from both sides was evident to see. The lads from Kildangan weren't giving Ballymore any time on the ball and some decent passing from the visitors created plenty of opportunities. The Ballymore team soon got into the swing of things and carved out plenty of chances of their own. Lot's of brave tackles from both sides meant each team had to make the most of the opportunities that came their way.
Both teams put in lots of effort and were a credit to their clubs in the way the game was played.
