John Scully of Gallbally took charge of this county Junior A football Championship group 2 round 4 tie played on an excellent pitch in front of a good crowd.

The Granagh Ballingarry boys dominated for 17 minutes with points through Donal O’Grady play on 4 minutes. Paudie Murphy (play) on 6 minutes Aaron Smith free’s on (8, 15 and 19 minutes) before Anthony Neylon finally found the range for the Camogue Rovers after 20 minutes when he split the uprights from a placed ball to leave four between the sides. Granagh Ballingarry 0-6 Camogue Rovers 0-2 on 22 minutes then after four minutes of scoreless play a pair of white flags for the boys in black and green on 27 minutes to send Granagh Ballingarry in at the interval leading 0-8 to 0-2.
Granagh Ballingarry again dominated for 12 minutes after the interval with four unanswered white flags from open play through Paudie Murphy on 32 minutes Denis O’Connor on 35 minutes Eoin Lynch on 39 minutes Jack Cagney on 42 minutes before points were traded by Anthony Neylon (free) on 44 minutes and Paudie Murphy (play) a minute to leave it Granagh Ballingarry 0-13 Camogue Rovers 0-3 at the end of the third quarter. Then after a few minutes of scoreless play points were traded by Aaron Smith (play) on 50 minutes and Anthony Neyon (free) 3 minutes later to leave Granagh Ballingarry still 10 ahead 0-14 to 0-4 on 53 minutes. Camogue Rovers for being overawed had a point from a played ball through Anthony Neylon on 55 minutes followed up by Anthony Punch goal a minute later to reduce the deficit to eight, 0-14 to 1-5 on 56 minutes. Then Aaron Smith from a placed on 58 and substitute Dean Clancy from open play on 30 split the uprights to extend the black and green boys advantage to eight before Peadar McCarthy won a point back from open play for the Camogue Rovers which was to a little too late for the boys in green and gold. The final whistle sounded from the kick-out to leave the Granagh Ballingarry boys comfortable 7 point 0-16 to 1-6 of the two league championship points on offer to go joint third on the Limerick County Junior A Football Group 2 league/championship table on 4 points with St. Patrick’s and Ahane to stay in contention for a quarter-final spot when they play second place on six points Hospital-Herbertstown in the final group 2 stage game on Saturday 24th or Sunday 25th September.
