Béal An Átha Review
County Champions:
Under-12 Footballers Ballina had two teams in
action in the County Under-12
football Finals in Templetuohy
on Saturday 17th May.
U12 Football Group 4: The Blue team who are
all still underage for next year
went down fighting to an
exceptional Clonmel
Commercials side. It was a
huge credit to these boys to
contest the county final and they
will take stopping next year.
Well done to these young
players.
U12 Football Group 2: High drama as the red
team faced a mobile and skilful
Grangemockler/Ballyneale side
who dumped a classy Golden
side in the county semi final.
The lads had failed to
score in the first half against a
strong wind but out of
somewhere they found it within
themselves to make a breath
taking comeback scoring 1-08
without reply to win the county
final on a 1-08 to 1-06 scoreline
in the company of their watching
parents, supporters and parish.
The late, late goal which was
greeted with whoops of delight
and relief came with normal time
almost up.
Congratulations boys
you are the toast of Ballina.
Heroes all of them. Well done to
their coaches Eoin, Adrian,
Eamonn, Nigel and Joe.

Ballina Juvenile Club: Thank you to Mairead
and Michael O'Donovan Brian
Boru on the Hill for the great
after match reception for the
u12 footballers after their
County win.
U14 Football Ballina played Kilruane
MacDonaghs in the North
Under-14 Final on Thursday 15th
May. Unfortunately on the
evening they came up against a
very good MacDonaghs side.
At half-time, Kilruane
led by 2-4 to 0-3 & continued
their dominance in the second
half winning by 6-6 to 0-5.
The boys in blue gave it
their all, but just came up
against a better side on the
evening. Well done to the lads &
selectors. This team also
reached the North Feile Final.
Well done to Kilruane
on their deserved victory.
Cúl Camps: Jul 21st – Jul 25th 2014
in Ballina. Please contact any
Juvenile Club officer in relation
to above.
Review of some recent
U 6, 8 & 10 Activity: Under-6:
The U6 hurlers made
the short journey across the
bridge to Smith O'Briens to play
them in a challenge game on
Saturday 14th June. Every child
got a game and enjoyed it
throughly.
Under-8:
Travelled to Dolla on
Saturday 14th June to play a
hurling blitz. The boys played
really well and produced some
great hurling playing against
Nenagh Eire Og, Burgess and
Silvermines.
Superb hurling on view

Béal An Átha Review Adult Club
Senior Hurling Ballina played 2 games
recently in the North Tipperary
Senior Hurling Championship.
On Sunday 18th May,
Silvermines provided the
opposition in Nenagh. The
‘mines made the early running
and led after a quarter of an
hour. However, Ballina goaled
at this stage and went in at half-
time in a good position. Ballina
dominated the third quarter
and seemed set for victory, but
Silvermines hit back with 2
goals in quick succession to take
the lead & time nearly up. The
heads never dropped & Ballina
got the two last points to record
a historic victory 1-18 to 2-14.
All round 1 winners,
then faced a round 1 loser in
round 2. Ballina’s opponents
were Moneygall in Nenagh on
Saturday 7th June.
Despite being short a
number of regulars, Ballina
performed well & were ahead
at half-time. Approaching Full-
time, Ballina were still on top,
but Moneygall struck for late
score to leave the game level
(Ballina 2-15, Moneygall 1-18)
at full time.
Moneygall had the
better of exchanges in the
opening half of extra time &
this ultimately proved vital.
Ballina had chances at the end,
but Moneygall prevailed by 1-
24 to 2-19.
Ballina, Moneygall,
Portroe & Toomevara all
entered the hat for round 3
(Won 1 & lost 1 of first two
games).
Mo
neygall &
Toomevara
received
byes, while
Ballina
were
drawn
against
Portroe.
5
teams won
both their
opening round games and they
are into the quarter finals.
Ballina
also have
one game
left in the
county
champions
hip (V
Ballingarry).
Group winner will be
promoted to Roinn I 2015.

Final Draw:
Nenagh Éire Óg V Kildangan

Kilruane MacDonaghs V
Ballina or Portroe.
Junior “B” Hurling Since our last edition,
Ballina recorded a good win
over Silvermines in the final
Group Game in the Junior “B”
Hurling League.
This meant Ballina topped
the group and qualified for a
semi-final against Kildangan.
This game was played in
Ballina on Friday 30th & proved
to be a great game. At the end
of 60 minutes, the sides were
level – Ballina 2-12, Kildangan 0-
18.
Kildangan eventually
squeezed through to the final

Tuesday 17th June against
Cashel Girls Nationals
school. (Photo’s Over)
Hazel McMahon took part in
the primary games Camogie in

half time of the Limerick v
Tipperary game.
Sam Loughran is going to
represent Ballina on the
Primary games football team
when Tipperary take on Cork on
Saturday the 21st June in Cork.
Great to have two players from
our Club representing their
county in the primary games.
On 4th of May both the girls
and boys school team took on
teams from neighbouring
schools of Killaloe and
Portroe. The sun shone on
what was a great day for hurling
and camogie. There were over
eighty boys and girls playing,
with some great displays of skill
and ability. Well done to the
girls and boys, teachers and
helpers.
Thanks to the club for allowing
the blitz to take place in the
field. It is hoped to make this an
annual event.
The school

their annual
blitz next week
on the 23rd
and 24th of
June.

Béal An Átha Review NEW PITCH
Construction work is
now well under way on the new
pitch. The bulldozer, diggers
and dumper trucks brought in
by the contractor, who is a
specialist in pitch construction,
have completed most of the
heavy excavation work and the
hill (of rock) that dominated the
land is now well and truly gone.
Next up for the
contractor is to install the
drains that will run under and
around the pitch. After that
they will lay the topsoil and
sand to form the new pitch
surface. Unfortunately, the soil
that currently forms the nice
embankment along one side of
the pitch will be used.
It is expected that the
pitch will be seeded and the
contractors work will be
complete in 3-4 weeks, all going
well on the weather front.
The new surface will then need to be carefully protected for the next 12 months or so to ensure the grass gets adequate time to bed in and grow. It will need to be well established before it is able to take the stress of training and matches. The next stage of the development this year will be to provide more secure fencing around the boundary of the new pitch. It is hoped to do as much as possible of this using
