Ballinhassig 0 – 2 Ballincollig
Ballincollig travelled to Ballinhassig last Sunday knowing victory would give them the league title. This was always going to be a big task for our lads as in the past this fixture has always been a close affair. The first half Ballincollig played against the wind but were unlucky not to score when Conor Kelly’s effort just went over the crossbar. Ballincollig played some lovely football but Ballinhassig’s defence held firm leaving the score nil all at half time.
Ballincollig lifted their game in the second half and with the wind behind them it looked like it was only a matter of time before Ballinhassig’s net was found. Ten minutes into the second half Stephen Falvey was the man on target with a shot from the side line which took the keeper by surprise. The Ballincollig crowd went wild. Ballinhassig tried to get back into the game but were hit with for a second goal. Jason Murray collected the ball in midfield, went down the line and curled a great ball into the top corner of the net. This killed off any spirit that was left in the Ballinhassig team.
Ballincollig dominated the game to the end and victory was met with huge applause from the travelling fans. Ballincollig have one game left in the league but the title is already won. The team captain Colm Crowley was presented with the trophy by Cork Schoolboys Secretary Eddie Doyle. This has been a long season for this team who still remain unbeaten in the league. Colm Lane and Pat Kelly would like to thank a few people for their help and support for the season.

Ballincollig 4 – 2 Waterloo
This well deserved victory puts Ballincollig up to second place behind leaders Ballinhassig with a game in hand.
Ballincollig opened the scoring on twenty minutes when Colm Crowley playing left back passed the ball up the wing to Aaron Roche who in turn crossed a lovely ball to Mark O’Sullivan to finish off a great move and give Ballincollig the lead. Chances were plenty for Ballincollig but only for the inform Waterloo keeper the lead at half time would have been greater.
The second half was at a much faster pace with Ballincollig pressing hard for the second goal. Against the run of play Waterloo scored the equalizer despite the best efforts of goalkeeper Alan Hennessy. Ballincollig raised their game again and two quick goals from Chris Anaba made the points safe for Ballincollig. Peter Kelleher kept putting pressure on the Waterloo defence with great crosses all evening. It was from one of Peter’s crosses that Ballincollig’s fourth goal came.
Peter swung in a great corner for Darragh Kelly to power home a rocket of a header. Ciaran Sheehan came close to adding to Ballincollig’s tally but again the Waterloo keeper denied him. Waterloo scored a second on the final whistle but the points were already gone to Ballincollig.
This was a great team performance with Jack Hoey, Keith Fehily, Chris Anaba and Peter Kelleher putting in huge performances and man of the match goes to Killian Derwin. Congratulations to our club mates on the other Under 12 team with their great victory in the National Cup.

Ballincollig A 5 – 1 Mayfield United A
Ballincollig secured all three points in this top of the table clash against Mayfield. Ballincollig started brightly and were two goals up at half time after Jason Murray and Stephen Falvey found the net. The second half started much the same with Ballincollig creating many of the chances with Mark O’Sullivan and Peter Kelleher nearly finding the net. The Mayfield keeper was determined to keep his side in the game though and produced good saves to deny Ballincollig on several occasions. Despite the best efforts of Alan Hennessy in goal Mayfield did pull one back. However with Jack Hoey and Killian Derwin mastering the defence they made sure this was the only goal Mayfield would get. Super sub Christopher Buckley finished off the fight left in Mayfield with two goals within 10 minutes to make sure that ‘Collig went back to top of the table. The best goal was still to come when Cameron Lucey ran with the ball from his own box skipping past the opposition and firing past the Mayfield Keeper. This was a great team performance. Best on the day were Rian Fitzgerald, Darragh Kelly, Gavin Lane, Aaron Roche, Sean Murphy and Colm Crowley. Keep up the good work lads
