History-making Ballymartle claim their first junior football crown

Ballymartle 1-14
RENOWNED as a hurling club, Ballymartle’s junior footballers made history when they won the Five Mile Inn Bar & Restaurant South East Junior Football title for the first time with a 10-point victory over holders Valley Rovers in Carrigaline.

Key to their win was the performance of midfielder Jack Ryan, who won the Fitzgerald & Partners Man of the Match award. He dominated the middle third of the pitch and his powerful running caused Valleys problems throughout the game, while their half-forward line of Rikard Cahalane, Geary, and Brian Corry were excellent.
