Granagh/Ballingarry GAA Club Notes:

Lynch, O’Grady and O’Kelly inspired Granagh-Ballingarry to 6th Mary Sexton Memorial Cup Win:
West Limerick Junior B Hurling Championship Final
Granagh-Ballingarry 1-16 Adare 0-11
A strong all-round team performance coupled with 0-6 by Gearoid Lynch 1-2 by 2013 Limerick Munster Hurling Championship winning captain Donal O’Grady from open play and a number of top class saves by keeper Keith O’Kelly paved the way for a thrilling 8 point 1-16 to 0-11 victory for Granagh-Ballingarry over gallant Adare, to claim their 6th West Limerick Junior B Hurling Championship title (a second I a row) and the Mary Sexton Memorial Cup.
A record crowd attended this 40th West Junior A Hurling Championship Final which must compare to any of the great finals of the past played in ideal conditions on an excellent pitch, with Kevin Guina of Feohanagh-Castlemahon in charge.
Granagh-Ballingarry No. 15 Jack Hartnett and Adare No. 13 Ruairi O’Connor traded white flags from open play in the opening 2 minutes before a pair of white flags for Granagh-Ballingarry courtesy of Gearoid Lynch from open play on 3 and 5 minutes to leave the holders two ahead, 0-3 to 0-1. A couple of wides were exchanged before Adare No. 11 Frank Costelloe split the uprights from a placed ball on 7 minutes to reduce the deficit to one, Granagh-Ballingarry 0-3, Adare 0-2. Both sides were guilty of inaccurate shooting in the next 7 minutes before white flags were traded from open play by Gearoid Lynch on 12 minutes and Frank Costelloe on 13 minutes, Adam O’Brien on 15 minutes and Donal O’Grady four minutes later to leave one again between the sides, Granagh-Ballingarry 0-5, Adare 0-4 on 19 minutes. The inform Gearoid Lynch split the uprights for the fifth time for Granagh-Ballingarry to extend their advantage to 2 on 22 minutes before Frank Costelloe cut through the Granagh-Ballingarry defence to see his strike for goal bring off a top class save by Granagh-Ballingarry keeper and team captain Keith O’Kelly on 24 minutes. Adare hit a trio of wides before white flats were traded from open play by Frank Costelloe on 26 minutes and Gearoid Lynch on 28 minutes to bring her tally for the opening half to 0-5. Both sides failed to add to their total in the final few minutes of this close, hard fought opening half to leave the holders Granagh-Ballingarry in at the interval leading by two, 0-7 to 0-5. Adare substitute Diarmuid Sexton and the in-form Gearoid Lynch traded white flags from open play in the opening four minutes of the second half before a trio of white flags for the Granagh-Ballingarry courtesy of Jim O’Keeffe play on 36 minutes, Edward Sheehy play on 38 minutes and Pat Carroll free two minutes later to extend the boys in black and green advantage to five, 0-11 to 0-6 on 40 minutes. White flags were traded by Rory O’Connor from a placed ball on 41 minutes and Edward Sheehy from open play on 42 minutes, Michael Keating from open play on 43 minutes and Donal O’Grady from open play two minutes later to leave the Granagh-Ballingarry boys still five ahead, 0-13 to 0-8 at the end of the third quarter. The Adare boys failed to be overawed and forced Granagh-Ballingarry keeper Keith O’Kelly to bring off a trio of top class saves before their No. 11 Frank Costelloe split the uprights from open play on 50 and 54 minutes to reduce the deficit to three, Granagh-Ballingarry 0-13, Adare 0-10 with 6 minutes of normal time remaining. A couple of wides were exchanged before the Granagh-Ballingarry boys began to up their game with a well taken point from open play by Jim O’Keeffe on 56 minutes followed up with a cracking Donal O’Grady goal on 58 minutes and a well taken point from open play a minute later to increase their advantage to 8, 1-15 to 0-10 on 59 minutes. In added time points were traded by Frank Costello from a placed ball and substitute Jack O’Donoghue from open play. The final whistle Granagh-Ballingarry were eight points, 1-16 to 0-11 winners of their sixth West Limerick Junior B Hurling Championship title in 21 years, their second in a row and the Mary Sexton Memorial Perpetual Cup to add to the back to back West League title won earlier in the year. The Adare boys were gutted to have lost but were very sporting in defeat.

Granagh-Ballingarry ease to fourth win to finish joint fourth:
Limerick County Premier Intermediate Hurling Championship Round 7
Granagh-Ballingarry 3-14 Glenroe 0-11
In difficult wet and windy conditions at Fitzgerald Park, Kilmallock on Sunday afternoon Granagh-Ballingarry recorded their fourth win in the Limerick County Premier Intermediate Hurling Championship with a comfortable 12 point, 3-14 to 0-11 victory over gallant Glenroe to finish joint fourth in the group on 8 points with Effin. Unfortunately they lost out on a semi-final spot on the head to head rule as Effin defeated them in round 5. Na Piarsaigh 6th defeat to Garryspillane means that they relegated to second tier intermediate and the Glenroe boys retain their Premier Intermediate status for 2025.
This final round group stage game was played in front of a small crowd, helped no doubt by the wet weather on a heavy pitch with David Deady of Bruree in charge.
Granagh-Ballingarry with the strong wind at their backs dominated the opening 10 minutes at Kilmallock with 1-1 by Paudie Murphy in the opening 3 minutes followed up with a trio of white flags from open play by Luke Flynn on 4 minutes, Cathal O’Keeffe on 6 minutes, Damien O’Donovan on 8 minutes before Paudie Murphy raised the second green flag two minutes later to leave the boys from Knockfierna ten ahead, 2-4 to 0-0 on 10 minutes. The Glenroe boys finally opened their account when their No. 15 Darren Frewen split the uprights from out near the sideline to reduce the deficit to nine on 13 minutes. Granagh-Ballingarry No. 11 Cathal O’Keeffe landed a pair of white flags from open play on 14 and 15 minutes before Darren Frewen landed his second white flag from open play for Glenroe a minute later to leave 10 between the sides for the third time, Granagh-Ballingarry 2-6, Glenroe 0-2 on 16 minutes. Both sides were guilty of inaccurate shooting in the next 5 minutes in the difficult weather conditions, White flags were traded by Mark O’Connell from a placed ball on 22 minutes and Sean O’Connor from a line ball on 23 minutes before Eoin Lynch raised the Granagh-Ballingarry boys’ third green flag on 25 minutes followed up 3 minutes later by a Sean O’Connor white flag from open play to leave 14 between the sides, Granagh-Ballingarry 3-8, Glenroe 0-3 on 29 minutes. The final few minutes saw white flags traded from placed balls by Mark O’Connell and Sean O’Connor to send Granagh-Ballingarry in at the interval still 14 ahead, 3-9 to 0-4. Brian O’Connell and Cathal O’Keeffe from open play and Mark O’Connell from placed balls traded white flags in the opening 6 minutes after the interval to leave the Granagh-Ballingarry boys again 14 ahead 3-11 to 0-6 on 36 minutes. The Glenroe boys with the wind at their backs began to up their game with a trio of unanswered white flags in a 9 minute spell courtesy of Mark O’Connell free on 37 minutes, Sean Moloney play on 41 minutes and Mark O’Connell free four minutes later to reduce the deficit to 11, Granagh-Ballingarry 3-11, Glenroe 0-9 at the end of the third quarter.
After 6 minutes of scoreless play a pair of white flags from open play by Sean O’Connor on 52 and 54 minutes extended the Granagh-Ballingarry boys’ advantage to 13 with 6 minutes of normal time remaining. Mark O’Connell on 55 minutes and Sean O’Connor on 57 minutes traded white flags from placed balls before Mark O’Connell split the uprights from a 65 deep into injury time. At the final whistle Granagh-Ballingarry were comfortable 12 point 3-14 to 0-11 winners of their 4th brace of points in the County Premier Intermediate Hurling Championship to finish joint fourth in the group on 8 points with Effin but unfortunately lost out on a semi-final spot on the head to head rule as Effin defeated them in round 5. Na Piarsaigh’s three point defeat to Garryspillane means they are relegated to second tier intermediate and the Glenroe boys retain their Premier Intermediate status for 2025. Granagh-Ballingarry scored 3-8 from play, 0-5 from frees and 0-1 from a line ball. Glenroe scored 0-4 from play, 0-6 from frees and 0-1 from a 65.

Since the start of the year Granagh-Ballingarry intermediate hurlers and management team have put in a lot of effort to win 6, draw 1 and lost 5 of their 12 competitive games. They finished top of the West Senior Hurling League/Championship on 9 points to qualify for the final, where they were most unlucky to go under to 2023 Premier Intermediate Championship Dromin-Athlacca by 3 points at Sean Finn Park, Rathkeale, when forced to field minus a number of key players. They won the Jim Twin Lynch Memorial Cup for the fifth successive year and went under to Ballysaggart of Waterford in the Dunworth Cup Final in the County Premier Intermediate Hurling Championship after going under to Newcastle West and Bruff. They went on to defeat Garryspillane and Na Piarsaigh before going under to Effin and defeating Blackrock and Glenroe in the final two rounds to finish joint fourth in the group on 8 points with Effin but unfortunately lost out on a semi-final spot on the head to head rule as Effin defeated us in round 5. On behalf of the club and the people of Granagh-Ballingarry we congratulate the players on the many great displays they have given and well done to the management team Michael Clancy, Paul O’Grady, Eoin Kennedy, Stephen Stapleton, Cathal O’Brien, Newtown, first aid official Niamh O’Keeffe, physio Caolan Scott and the backroom team too. If they all stay together this team looks like being a match for the best next season.
