U15s County Semi-final match report

  Sunday 22nd October U15 Div 2 Semifinal Result: Kilmeena 4-06 Ballinrobe 3-08. Commiserations to our U15s and their coaches who lost out narrowly by one point in a very exciting game. Our lads played some great football in terrible conditions, but alas it wasn’t to be. These players did the club proud and while the defeat was difficult, we will no doubt see these players going on to win other titles for the club. #BallinrobeAbú Thanks to Kilmeena for making the photos of the match available. Pictures can viewed here.

Ladies Pella for 5/6th class 1st/2nd years

By Mary Langan Cost is €2 per evening payable on the evening.   Rules Gum shields & runners must be worn. Scoring: 3 points for a win, 2 points for a draw, 1 point for losing by three or less scores. In the event of a tie, final placings will be determined by total goals scored. 5-a-side games if both teams have 5 players. 4-a-side games if one or both teams have only 4 players. If any team has less than 4 players a temporary substitution from another team will be made if possible to facilitate a 4-a-side game. This may not always be possible so please make every effort to attend each week – your team needs you. During the game a hand-passed score counts as one point and a kicked score counts as three points. Ladies Gaelic football rules apply for pick-up, hand-pass, movement with the ball, etc. A player is allowed two solos or a solo and a hop before they must pass or shoot. A player must be in the opposition’s half to score. The ball may hit the side wall without penalty. If an attacking player hits the ball against the end wall, the defending team gains possession and re-starts the game from under their goal. Before the re-start no attacking player is allowed inside the blue semi-circle zone. If a defending player hits the ball off the end wall, the attacking team gains possession at centre court. Teams must have at least one player in each half of the court at all times. If a team fails to do so, the opposing team is awarded a free from the opposition’s blue semi-circle. When a free is called the defending player must step back 5 paces from the free taker. A defender may block a player or attempt to strike the ball from her hands but no tackling allowed – i.e. no grabbing, pushing or striking an opposing player to any degree. A player guilty of persistent fouling or dangerous play will be sin binned for 3 minutes.
