U16 B Schoolboy League
Ballyduff AFC A – Villa C
6 - 1

Our 2nd match in the new league campaign was played in dry but blustery conditions at St Nicholas Park.

We started fast and got into some good positions, with midfield trio Ryan, Matthew and Bartosz getting control.

We took the lead from an excellent free kick from Matthew, which was saved by the Villa keeper but tapped home by Bartosz, who was vigilant in following up.

1 nil Ballyduff and off to a good start.

A second quickly followed, Bartosz with a stinging shot that came back to Shane, who made no mistake from close range. 2 nil and looking good 👍

We played so nice team football down the right side to earn a corner.

Matthew floated a lovely corner, and Luke rose highest to power a header into the corner.

3 nil Ballyduff at the half, but probably didn’t reflect how close the game was.

Villa really attacked us early in the 2nd half, going close on a number of occasions.

A mistimed tackle gave the visitors a penalty and a chance to get back into the contest.

Instead, it was a remarkable save by Ballyduff goalie Sam J 👏

The back 4 of Dylan, Joe, Liam and David worked hard to keep the Villa attacks at bay.

The game was made safe when Jack combined with Shane to get Daniel in on goal.

He finished in style to bag his 2nd league goal of the campaign.

Villa did score next, through a fortunate penalty decision.

Another Matthew free kick ricocheted around the box until Sam C found a smart finish for our fifth. 5–1 and we were coasting.

Jack came close to scoring from Luke’s cross. Sean nearly capped an energetic display with a left-foot volley that just drifted wide.

The final word went to the excellent Bartosz, finishing off after Matthew’s shot was pushed back into his path.

Final score 6–1 Ballyduff, but, in fairness, Villa made it a hard game and the scoreline somewhat flattered us.

2 wins from 2 to make an excellent start to our league campaign after promotion to a much tougher division.

Thanks to Villa for a good, fair game and to all of the lads in the squad, who are really gelling into a tidy outfit 👍👏

U14 Girls
Seaview Celtic 3-1 Ballyduff
Ballyduff faced a stiff test today in the opening round of the under 14 league. They started well and were unlucky to concede in the 1st ten minutes with our defence absorbing alot of pressure. We pulled the game back with a great poachers goal from DollyAnn who opened her account with style after a lovely flick on by Hollie. There were few opportunities until the 2nd half when facing into the strong breeze we settled into the game more with Freya, Emma, Isobel and Ruby finally threading the ball into the forward line with more frequency. Molly was a safe pair of hands all day and could not do anything about a long range strike from a free kick. There was some stout defensive play from Grainne, Jane, Rebecca , Lara and Sofia and as we pushed for an equaliser with some great runs from Emma and Isobel and Freya pushing through the lines but it would not happen. A late goal put it out of reach but the girls can be proud of a determined display on a very windy afternoon.
Thanks to Seaview for a sporting match.

Division 3A

Ballyduff AFC – Cappoquinn Railway FC
3 - 1

Sponsored by O'Donnacha's Bar

A fantastic win for our Division 3 team today as they secured a deserved 3 points with a 3–1 victory over Railway, keeping the league hopes very much alive!

Ballyduff took the game to the visitors from the very start, creating plenty of opportunities. Nathan Bagge, Eoin Cummins and Kieran Millea all went close before we finally got the breakthrough midway through the first half.

A brilliant ball from Chicky found Eoin Cummins in space, and Eoin made no mistake with a composed finish to put Ballyduff 1–0 ahead.

With Enzo and Davy Sutton controlling the midfield, Ballyduff continued to create chances. Ten minutes into the second half, Cillian Purcell and Enzo combined brilliantly to set up Kieran Millea, who finished well to make it 2–0.

Railway pulled a goal back after Ballyduff took their foot off the pedal, but the lads responded in style. Cillian Purcell produced a brilliant piece of individual skill to restore our two-goal advantage and secure a valuable three points.

At the other end, Chicky was largely untroubled, thanks in no small part to an excellent defensive display from centre-backs Kevin and Josh, well supported by Sam Walsh and Ben Power at full-back.

⭐️ Man of the Match: Enzo — a superb all-round performance in midfield.

A big three points and a great team performance. The league title push continues!

U14 Schoolboy league – Season Opener

Ballyduff AFC 1–3 Mooncoin Celtic

A really encouraging first outing of the season for our U14 boys, despite the result not going our way against Mooncoin in Granagh Grounds on Thursday.

The lads showed great character and determination throughout the game. After conceding early, they responded brilliantly with a well-worked equaliser — a fantastic long ball from Adam Carlin sent John Gooney through on goal, and John finished superbly to make it 1–1. ⚽️👏

Mooncoin regained the lead just before half-time, but Ballyduff continued to compete and work hard. Our defence stayed organised under pressure, while Cormac put in a very strong performance in goals, making some excellent saves at important moments.💪

The second half was a competitive affair, with Mooncoin adding a third, but the Ballyduff lads continued to battle right until the final whistle.

A special mention to the younger lads who stepped up — Ben, Adam, Peter, Adam and Cian — all of whom made a really positive impact and showed fantastic attitude and work rate.

Plenty of positives, plenty to build on and a long season ahead. This group has a lot of potential, and with the effort and attitude shown today, there’s plenty to look forward to. 💪

Well done lads

U12 B Schoolboy League

Ballyduff AFC 1–5 Villa

Sponsored by Flahavans

A tough start to the league campaign for our U12 B team, who suffered a heavy defeat at home to Villa.

We never really got going today and allowed the opposition to take control from the start. Sloppy defending and a lack of intensity made things difficult for the lads.

⚽️ Cian got our only goal of the game.

This is a team capable of much more than they showed today, and there’s plenty of time to learn from this one, regroup and bounce back in the games ahead.
