Ballycomoyle v Shandonagh.
Under 14 Division 3 League Final
Ballycomoyle welcomed Shandonagh to Ballycomoyle on Wednesday evening last 10/6/26 for the Division 3 League Final, played in front of a huge crowd of supporters who created a fantastic atmosphere for the match.
The visitors got off to a flying start, taking some excellent early scores and putting Ballycomoyle under pressure from the throw-in. Once Ballycomoyle settled into the game, they began to show their quality, kicking some lovely scores of their own and working hard all over the field. Despite their efforts, Shandonagh maintained the upper hand and Ballycomoyle went into the break trailing by five points.
Half time.
Ballycomoyle 3-04
Shandonagh. 4-06
The second half saw Shandonagh continue their impressive form, making the most of every scoring opportunity that came their way. To their credit, Ballycomoyle never stopped battling and continued to work hard until the final whistle, showing great determination and character throughout. However, Shandonagh’s lead continued to grow and they ultimately ran out deserving winners and Division 3 League champions.

Ballycomoyle 4-09
Shandonagh 8-12

Match Report.
Under-14 Girls
League Division 2
Our Under-14 girls welcomed Multyfarnham to Ballycomoyle for a thrilling league encounter. Despite lining out with only 13 players, the girls showed tremendous determination, resilience, and teamwork from start to finish.
Every player gave their all and never stopped battling, playing to the very best of their ability throughout the game. It was an entertaining, high-scoring contest with very little separating the teams. Multyfarnham provided a fantastic challenge, and the game was score for score for long periods, with both sides displaying great skill and commitment.
The girls can be extremely proud of their performance, showing great character and refusing to give up at any stage. Their hard work and teamwork were rewarded as Ballycomoyle edged ahead and held on to secure a well-deserved victory.
A huge well done to all 13 players who performed exceptionally well and represented the club with pride.
Final Score:
Ballycomoyle 9-13
Multyfarnham 9-7

Under 8 and 10 Girls Go Games
Blitz.
On Saturday morning last 13/6/26 Ballycomoyle hosted under 8 and under 10 girls go games. We welcomed St Lomans, Bunbrosna, CFCW, and St. Paul’s . We were blessed with the weather and we had a very enjoyable morning of football. Our own young girls showed off the skills they are learning every Thursday evening at training. We are so appreciative of all the help and support that we received to run the go games. Huge shout out to everyone who refereed, made teas, marked pitches, helped with traffic! Thanks to all the young girls and their parents that travelled to Ballycomoyle and I hope all the girls had a great morning of football and fun.
Under 12 girls.
Our under 12 girls travelled to Rochfortbridge in their latest round of go games, on a wet miserable evening playing conditions weren't ideal, The hosts settled quickly but once the Ballycomoyle girls got going they played some fantastic football, matching Rochfortbridge in all areas, at halftime there was nothing between the sides, second half and again the Ballycomoyle girls showed huge determination, some good tackling and hard work in defence and midfield kept the hosts out, Unfortunately we hadn't many subs to call upon on the night and the girls tired, A little bit of wayward shooting from the girls meant Rochfortbridge ran out winners, on a tight margin, Credit to these young girls, there heart and determination never tires, Thanks to parents for braving the weather, thanks to referee Nicole Leonard for officiating and explaining her calls.
Next up is a home round against our neighbours CFCW 23/06/26

On a wet and cold evening St Michaels travelled to Ballinacargy to fulfil the last round of the Division 3 league for this year.

Goals were the undoing of some class defending from St. Michael's who came within the minimum of forcing a draw but it was not to be.
The home side took the 2 points on offer.
This brings a conclusion to the league and we will begin to plan for championship in the next few weeks.
Thanks to Inny Shamrocks and Referee Eoin Gorman for a great match in poor conditions.

A special mention must go to the four Under-12 girls who played up on the night and proved to be a huge asset to the team with excellent performances all over the pitch. Our goalkeeper also made some outstanding saves at crucial stages to keep Ballycomoyle in front.
Both teams showed great skill and commitment throughout, making it a very entertaining game for all in attendance. However, when the final whistle blew, it was Ballycomoyle who came away with the victory.

Ballycomoyle found themselves under pressure in the opening half, with Shandonagh taking control and building a strong lead. Despite Ballycomoyle’s efforts, they went into the break trailing by nine points with a score of 4.4 to 7 points
Whatever was said at half-time had the desired effect, as Ballycomoyle emerged with renewed energy and determination. The second half saw a complete turnaround, with Ballycomoyle playing some outstanding football, working tirelessly across the pitch and showing great composure in front of goal.
Scores began to flow, and the gap steadily closed as the team displayed impressive teamwork and resilience.
In a dramatic finish, Ballycomoyle edged ahead and held on to secure a hard-earned one-point victory, completing a remarkable comeback final score 5.12 to 6.8
A great effort from all involved

Under 12 girls Go Games
Ballycomoyle U12 girls made the trip to Clonmellon on Tuesday evening last 5/5/26 on perfect evening for football to take on St. Paul’s in only their second outing of the season. With a fantastic turnout of 18 players togged out, the girls showed great commitment and enthusiasm from the start. Facing a good St. Paul’s side, Ballycomoyle never backed down and competed bravely throughout. There were some excellent passages of play, with the girls showing real skill and teamwork at times. Most importantly, they played with great heart and determination until the final whistle. A big thank you to all the parents for their support and for getting the girls there, and well done to the team for always giving their very best.
Result.
Under 16 ladies.
We welcomed St Lomans to Ballycomoyle on Tuesday evening last 5/5/26 in perfect conditions for the 4th round of the Under 16 League,
After some jersey issues the game got started and it was St Lomans who opened the scoring and pushed on from there.
The Ballycomoyle ladies kept going and were always in the game and for long periods were the better side but just, couldn't get the scores. It was just one of those nights.
We are extremely proud of these girls this was their first match as a complete U16 unit and with little or no training together to produce a performance like they did is testament to their determination and pride in the Ballycomoyle colours.
We want to thank Jimmy Weldon for refereeing, and to all the supporters who came out and cheered on the girls. Many thanks to St Lomans for a great Sporting game of football and we wish them good luck in the rest of their league campaign
Well done girls keep up the good work.

St Michaels got to grips with the game and picked off some fine scores and went in at the break down but not out.
Cill Oige came into the second half with serious intent and put the fixture beyond doubt going into the final quarter.
The home side kept going and brought back the scoreboard somewhat but the visitors came away with the 2 points available.

League.
Division 5.
Ballycomoyle ladies tasted defeat for the first time this year by the Narrowest of margins. At home on Friday evening last 1/5/26 to a well drilled Kilbeggan outfit the Ballycomoyle ladies found themselves down by 5 at the break following a very competitive half of football. It was the first game played by both teams after the introduction of the new rules but all players adapted quickly. Like previous games the Ballycomoyle ladies rallied in the second half playing flowing football with some clever finishing on display. The home side just came up short at the final whistle having hit the crossbar late on; a few inches lower and the home side would have secured a deserved win.
Many thanks to Kilbeggan Shamrocks for a very sporting game of football.
Also many thanks to Referee Michael Gordon.
Result.
Ballycomoyle U14 Girls got their league campaign off to a fantastic start with a well-earned victory over St. Paul’s Delvin on Thursday evening last 30/4/26.
This was a special occasion for the team, with several players experiencing their first ever game on a full pitch. The squad rose to the challenge brilliantly, showing great determination, teamwork, and skill throughout the match. A special mention goes to the three U12 players who stepped up and played their part with confidence well beyond their years.
From the throw-in, Ballycomoyle worked hard as a unit, supporting each other in attack and defence. Their efforts paid off on the scoreboard, finishing with an impressive tally of 3-8. St. Paul’s Delvin battled hard and contributed 5-1 in what was an entertaining and competitive game.
Every player played their role, and the team’s work rate and positive attitude were clear to see.
Final Score:
Ballycomoyle 3-8
St. Paul’s Delvin 5-1
A brilliant start to the season well done, girls!
Report.
On Saturday morning Ballycomoyle attended u8 and u10 girls go games in CFCW. We played St Paul's and Mullingar Shamrocks in a very well organised blitz.

Our own young girls showed off the skills they are learning every Thursday evening at training. Thanks to all the young girls and their parents that travelled to Castletown and I hope all the girls had a great morning of football and fun.

Ballycomoyle under 15 feile 2026
Ballycomoyle travelled to Multyfarnam on Saturday 18/04/26 to contest Div 3B of the 2026 Feile.
CFCW, Delvin and Multyfarnam made up the group.
Ballycomoyle started the day against local rivals CFCW on the community pitch which was not in the best shape for football but both sides persevered.
Ballycomoyle overcame Finea with ease and moved to the main pitch to play the hosts.
A tight game saw Multyfarnham come out on top in game 2 by margin of a few points. Match 3 was a game of 2 half's with Delvin dominant in the first half but Ballycomoyle stormed back in the second half to set up a final against Multyfarnam.
The final was a low scoring game with Multy getting the better of this young Ballycomoyle team made up of under 12, 13, 14 and 15 footballers.
Many thanks to Multyfarnam for hosting and to Referees Eoin Cawley and Ray Farrelly for their usual high standards well done lads.

Ballycomoyle Under 16 Ladies started their 2026 league Campaign with a home game against Cill Oige on Tuesday evening last 14/4/26.
Just as girls started warm up the rain started as the evening progressed the rain got more persistent. This didn't deter these formidable ladies as they set about getting the job done. We started the scoring with an unbelievable goal, lobbing the goal keeper from the half forward line and the girls progressed from there.
Half way through the first half Cill Oige fought their way back to draw level, but the Ballycomoyle girls dug deep and went into the break ahead.
After sideline changes the girls started again and both sides exchanging scores but the Ballycomoyle girls hit the net more times than Cill Oige and in the end this was the difference.
Final score 5.4 to 2 9 to
Ballycomoyle. 5-04

Our junior ladies take a fantastic point and move on to 4 pts from their first 2 League matches.
Ballycomoyle ladies had their second run out in the league at home on Easter Monday evening last Playing with the wind the visitors Garrycastle started the first half well but the Ballycomoyle girls settled into the game as the half progressed score some crucial goals. The Ballycomoyle ladies went into the break 5 points down. However, the momentum was with the home team for most of the second half in what was a very good encounter. Towards the end we edged in front but the visitors levelled before the final whistle for a scoreline of 5-7 to 4-10. Ballycomoyle ladies remain unbeaten going into the 3rd round of the league and the management team were very happy with the battling qualities shown to turn the game around.
The Ballycomoyle ladies now moved on to round 3 of the league in excellent form.

St Michaels 2-7
Delvin St Paul's 4-14
The bank holiday weekend came to a close in Castletown Finea pitch on Easter Monday evening last with the visit of Delvin St Paul's 1st team.
A lively game that the home side struggled to settle against a well drilled and organised team.
Delvin St Paul's raced into the lead and maintained the advantage throughout.
Changes in the second half gave St Michaels opportunities to close the gap and some fine scores made an unlikely comeback seem possible but ultimately the 14 visitors came away with the points.
21 St Michaels players attended and all played a meaningful part.

St Michaels 7-9
Kilbeggan Shamrocks 3-03
After an unlucky start to the first round campaign, St Michaels got a chance to get their quest for league honours back on track in Ballycomoyle on Thursday evening last 9/4/26.
Kilbeggan travelled with a strong team who took their chances early on as the home side struggled to find their rhythm. But when St Michaels got to grips with the game they scored some excellent scores.
Into the second half saw St Michaels continuing where they left of in the first half scoring fantastic scores. And their stout defence keeping the Kilbeggan attack frustrated.
St Michaels came away with the points.
Many thanks to Referee John Williams.
And to the Kilbeggan team for making the journey north on a chilly evening.

The official opening of our new playground at the GAA grounds in Ballycomoyle took place on Thursday evening last 2nd April.
Although it was a wet and blustery evening, we were delighted to see such a good attendance of parents, visitors, and children, many of whom went on to enjoy their underage training after the opening ceremony.
Councillor Alfie Devine was in attendance, and the ribbon was officially cut by our Honorary President, Larry Masterson.
Our Chairperson thanked those who helped fund the project, including the Department of Rural and Community Development and Westmeath County Council. She also expressed sincere appreciation to the hardworking committee and all members of Ballycomoyle who continue to support the club as we develop and improve our facilities.
We were also pleased to welcome the Westmeath Topic to the event.

Under 12 Report.
Our U12s had their first game of the year on a bright and blustery Good Friday evening. The wind made it a game of two halves. We were dominant in the 1st half and then were in defensive mode for most of the 2nd. It was a very enjoyable game for the spectators and the boys were happy with the game. The defensive line was solid too with some crucial blocks being made when needed. Overall great effort by everyone and some excellent teamwork shown throughout.

U18 league div 4 Rd 1.
Multyfarnham 2-16
St Michaels 3-8
Multyfarnham hosted the 1st league outing of the year for St Michaels in this re scheduled game from Thursday evening.
Both teams exchanged early scores and settled into an open match with great skill and fitness on display.
Multyfarnham went in up by 3 points at the break.
An early blow for the visitors losing midfielder Daniel Boyle at the start of the second half left gaps for Multy to take advantage of.
The home side picked off some excellent points to take control but 2 late goals gave hope for an unlikely comeback.
Multyfarnham held on to take the points.
Thanks to referee Michael Gordon and Multyfarnham for keeping the pitch in excellent condition despite the poor weather.
Speedy recovery to Daniel.

Ballycomoyle Junior ladies
It was a lunchtime throw in at home for the Ballycomoyle ladies on Saturday last 21/3/26 for the first league game of the season vs St Lomans. The girls started well in very good conditions and lead 2-6 to 1-6 at the break. The visitors started the 2nd half well and took the lead but the Ballycomoyle girls turned it around, with great energy and lots of skill on display. The Bal team showed great teamwork and were deserved victors with a final scoreline of 4-9 to 2-11. A great start to the season for the team!

Westmeath Scór Sinsir Final.
The Westmeath Final of Scór Sinsir 2026 was held in The Downs GAA Centre on Saturday last, March 8th. Ballycomoyle was well represented with competitors in Tráth na gCeist/Question Time, Amhránaíocht Aonair/Solo Singing, Nuachleas/Novelty Act and Ceol Uirlise/Instrumental Music.
The first competition of the evening was the Tráth na gCeist and Ballycomoyle Gaa Club were represented by Seamus MacDermott, Seamus Coyle, Sean Daly and Piaras Walsh. After the initial Table quiz, the top 3 teams qualified for the individual stage of the quiz. The Ballycomoyle team pipped The Downs team by one point and joined St.Joseph’s and Mullingar Shamrocks on stage for the final part of the quiz. Ballycomoyle finished a very respectable 3rd behind St. Joseph’s and Mullingar Shamrocks, who ran out winners in the end.
The first Ballycomoyle representative, in the stage competitions, was Sean Daly in the Amhránaíocht Aonair. This was a hotly contested competition, with former County, Leinster and All-Ireland winners in the line-up. When the adjudicators decision was announced it was Grace NicDhomhnall from Na Dúnta who got the nod from the judges.
The next discipline Ballycomyle had an entry in was the Nuachleas and there were 4 Acts in this competition. When the results were announced at the end of the night it was the group from Ballinagore who were crowned county winners. Well done to our talented cast of Lorraine Ledwith, Helen Coyle, Carmel Coyle, Piaras Walsh, Paul Casserly, Aidan Keogh, Seamus Coyle and Sean Daly.
The penultimate competition of the night was the Ceol Uirlise and while the Ballycomoyle musicians were out of luck on the night, they can be very proud of their performance. Representing Ballycomoyle were Naomi Fitzpatrick, Sandra Heslin, Noel O’Neill, Olivia Craig and Grace Craig.
Congratulations to all those who represented Ballycomoyle so well on Saturday and while we didn’t take home any county titles on the night all our participants can be proud of their performances. Best of luck to those who go ahead to represent the county on Sunday next, March 22nd, in Wilkinstown, Co. Meath.

Scór na nÓg
The county final of Scór na nÓg was held in The Downs on Saturday evening last, November 15th.
Proceedings kicked off with the Quiz competition. Ballycomoyle was well represented with 2 teams participating in the Table Quiz. Both teams acquitted themselves very well but finished outside the top 3, who made it to the stage. Team members were Will Keogh, Orán Coyle, Billy and Danny Ginnell and Emmet Devine, Charlie Crone, Tom Keogh and Jack Tyrell.
In the Recitation competition we had two competitors from Ballycomoyle: Kate Tyrell and Cliodhna Fitzpatrick. Kate was the first competitor to take to the stage in the competition and she gave a great performance of 'The final in Cusack Park’. Cliodhna gave an outstanding performance of an extract from the John B Keane play ‘Moll’. Unfortunately, neither of our girls got the nod from the adjudicators and when the results were announced it was Eoghan McKenna from St Lomans who was crowned county champion. Best of luck to Eoghan in the Leinster semi-final.
We had 2 groups in the Novelty Act competition. 'The Children of Lir - The Real Story' was performed by Tom Keogh, Jack and Kate Tyrell, Beibhínn Fagan, Emmet Devine, Charlie Crone, Alannah Styles and Adam Ben Aicha. 'Voting Day at School' was performed by Cliodhna Fitzpatrick, Caragh Masterson, Niamh Louise Ledwith Byrne, Evie Nolan, Callie Cheevers, Síomha Fagan and Sansa Gill. Both groups gave brilliant performances in a very tough competition. Best of luck to The Downs group who got the nod from the judges in this one as they proceed to the next round.
The Set Dancing competition was won by the Bunbrosna team, who received the trophy in memory of Sarah Bardon, which is presented each year to the winning all girls set. We wish the Bunbrosna Set Dancers and all the Westmeath representatives the very best of luck in the Leinster semi-final next Sunday afternoon in The Downs.
Sympathy.
Our Sincere sympathy to our Underage Chairman Paddy Hannon, and all his family on the very sad passing of his lovely mother June.
May June gentle soul Rest in Peace.
Sunday 9th November 2025
Scór na nÓg
Semi-Final.
Ballycomoyle was very well represented at the Westmeath Scór na nÓg semi-final, which was held on Friday night in Coole. In total 7 clubs competed, including Ballycomoyle and many clubs had 2 entries in a number of competitions. Ballycomoyle had participants in all disciplines, except Figure Dancing.
Starting off the night’s entertainment was Beibhínn Fagan in the Solo singing. Beibhínn was first on stage and gave a lovely performance of ‘Red is the Rose’. Our 2nd Solo Singing competitor was Beibhínn’s sister, Muirne, who performed ‘Four and Nine’ beautifully. Unfortunately neither of the girls got the nod from the adjudicator in a hotly contested competition, with 9 competitors, but they should both be very proud of themselves.
In the Recitation competition the club representatives were Cliodhna Fitzpatrick, who performed an extract from the John B Keane play ‘Moll’ and Kate Tyrell, whose recitation was ‘The Final in Cusack Park’. Both girls performed really well and have, deservingly, qualified for the county final next weekend.
In the Ballad Group competition Ballycomoyle were ably represented by Cliodhna Fitzpatrick, Caireann Molloy, Muirne Fagan, Beibhínn Fagan and Niamh Louise Ledwith Byrne. The girls gave a lovely performance of their two songs and were unlucky not to qualify for the final next weekend.
Both groups in the Novelty Act competition have qualified for the final after giving great performances of their acts. Group members were Tom Keogh, Jack and Kate Tyrell, Beibhínn Fagan, Emmet Devine, Charlie Crone, Alannah Styles and Adam Ben Aicha. The second group members were Cliodhna Fitzpatrick, Caragh Masterson, Niamh Louise Ledwith Byrne, Evie Nolan, Callie Cheevers, Síomha Fagan and Sansa Gill.
Again we had two groups representing the club in the next competition - the music. The standard in this competition was exceptionally high, with 6 groups taking part. Unfortunately, neither of our groups qualified for the next round but both gave great performances. Our musicians on the night were Ellie Murtagh, Fionn Murphy, Niamh Louise Ledwith Byrne, Muirne Fagan, Kedagh Devine, Fiachna Devine, Béibhínn Fagan and Clíodhna Fitzpatrick.
The final competition of the evening was the Set Dancing. Our Set Dancing team members were Christina Corrigan, Aoife McKinney, Teegan Brady, Muirne Fagan, Beibhínn Fagan, Cliodhna Fitzpatrick, Ellie Murtagh and Teegan Rooney. The girls danced exceptionally well and were unlucky not to get the nod from the adjudicators and progress to the County Final.
Thanks to everyone who helped make the semi-final run smoothly and successfully.
Congratulations to the four acts that have qualified for the final, which will be held in The Downs GAA Centre on Saturday next, November 15th, at 7pm. The final will be preceded, at 5.30pm, by the Question Time competition. Ballycomoyle will be represented by two teams in the quiz. We wish all our competitors the very best of luck on Saturday.
Minor ladies football championship Result.
Sunday: 9/11/25.
Our minor ladies played their last group game of the championship this morning in Ballycomoyle. On a glorious morning for football, both teams very evenly matched and played some superb football. Ballycomoyle with only 16 girls really never let up against Shamrocks 22. Both teams traded great scores, and at Half time score.
Ballycomoyle 3-07
Shamrocks 3-09.
There was nothing in it.
Onto second half and again Ballycomoyle went at it hard, showing massive effort, We got some lovely scores of great teamwork. Unfortunately, again, this game changed on having a panel, and Shamrocks used their to effect. In the end, Ballycomoyle simply ran out of steam, allowing some simple scores.
Full Time. Ballycomoyle 4-14 Shamrocks 6-18.
Our girls are to be commended for there never say die attitude.
We now await the quarter-final draw. Many thanks to Referee Noel Morgan. And to our supporters for coming out and supporting our ladies.

Minor LGFA Div 3. Result.
Ballycomoyle 6-02 v Tyrellspass 4-15
Our minor ladies played in round 4 of the championship on Sunday morning last 26/10/25 in Ballycomoyle.
Conditions for football were poor, and with limited numbers, this was a challenge from the start. However, the 13 girls that togged out played some brilliant football, some girls playing out of position that didn't deter them. At halftime, the scoreline was Tyrellspass 3-07
Ballycomoyle 3-01
Onto the 2nd half and the Ballycomoyle girls kept plugging away, some fine scores from all over. However, without subs to call upon the 13 on the pitch tired which allowed the opposition to capitalise. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be our day.
But these young ladies gave everything on that pitch and are to be commended for their efforts.
Next up Athlone in round 5.
Thanks to John Williams for refereeing and his umpires.
And to the home support.

Under 14 Div3 Final 05/10/2025
St Michaels 2-05
Lillyput Gaels 7-12
Castletown Geoghegan played host to the under 14 Division 3 rescheduled championship final on Sunday morning last
St Michaels arrived early and prepared for the match with focus and determination.
The game started in glorious sunshine and a slight breeze favouring the home side.
St Michaels opened the scoring with some fine points before Lillyput got into the game.
An even first half was followed by a dominant display from Lillyput in the second half which St Michaels struggled to cope with.
Lillyput ran out worthy champions.
This match brought the curtain down on a fantastic year for this group of young men.
From the cold evenings in February at the astro in Ringtown a large group stuck together throughout. Divided into 2 teams for the league with help from u12s to make up numbers. The championship was decided to go with one team. Competition for places was fierce and this pushed performance levels of the lads to achieve some memorable victories along the way.
Many thanks to the parents for bringing the boys twice a week to train then games.
Thanks to both clubs, thanks to the Co board and Barry Kelly for scheduling matches and answering queries swiftly.
Thanks to GDA Emmet Corrigan and coach Ryan Plunket for the early session in Ringtown.
Thanks to Rob and Tjaye for enthusiastic encouraging coaching all season.
Most of all thanks to the players. For those moving up to under 16. We wish them well and hope they will look back at their time at under 14 with great memories, for those staying till next year we have a great foundation to build on.
Also many thanks to Mike for all his hard work all year.
The under 14 lads were looked after by a super Management team.
Many thanks lads.

Result.
Junior 1 Men's Football Championship.
Relegation play off.
Ballycomoyle. 0-13
Killucan. 3-13
Our junior men took on Killucan in the junior 1 Relegation play off on Saturday last 27/9/25 in Castleown Finea gaa grounds.
Our lads started very well and were playing lovely football and were kicking over some fine scores. Killucan grew more into the game and were kicking over some fine scores themselves including the first goal of the first half. As referee
Eoin Gorman sounded for half time.
The half time score read
Ballycomoyle. 0-07
Killucan. 1-05.
As the second half started the first attack came from Ballycomoyle kicking over the equalizer.
Both teams traded points and by the 14th minute the Ballycomoyle men were up by 2 pts. But it was short lived with killucan men putting a fine move together that was finished to the back of the Ballycomoyle net. They followed that up with a further 2 points. Our lads never recovered from these scores and with 10 minutes remaining in the match killucan struck for their 3rd goal. In fairness the Ballycomoyle lads never gave up kicking over some fine scores but unfortunately as the referee sounded the final whistle it was the Ballycomoyle team that was on the wrong side of the result.
Final score
Ballycomoyle 0-13
Killucan. Y3-13
Unfortunately this result means we will be playing out of Junior 2 for next year.
Many thanks to our team and Management team and our first Aid man Micheal for putting in a huge effort through out the year.
Many thanks to all.
Thanks to the Referee and his team of officials.
Also to the Castletown Finea club for hosting the match.
Many thanks to Killucan for a very sporting game.

Ballycomoyle 2-02 Loughnavalley 1-11
The Ballycomoyle ladies down by 6.
Into the second half and Ballycomoyle struck with a fine goal to narrow the gap to 3 points, again both sides not wanting to lose really kept going and with 11 minutes gone in the second half our ladies were level, Ballycomoyle rattled the crossbar also but an unfortunate injury to one of our midfielders really threw the entire team.

On a perfect evening for football in Ballycomoyle the St Michaels under 14 boys powered their way to the Championship final in a pulsating encounter with their Mullingar rivals.
The home team were first out of the blocks and picked off an early point and goal before Lomans got to the pace of the game.
Some hard tackling set the tone that there would be nothing easy in this match and both sides were up for the battle.
St Michaels went in at the break up by 4 but Lomans brought the score to within a point early in the second half.
The scene was set for an epic final 15 mins and the home side proved their worth and played excellent football to go clear by 6 with the time running out.

Ladies football. Result.
Junior B semi-final. Shandonagh 1-9. Ballycomoyle 0-3.
Our adult ladies were in semi final action on Sunday afternoon last in Multyfarnham Gaa grounds. On a glorious afternoon, playing conditions were perfect. Facing last years beaten finalists, our girls were hoping to make it 3 finals in a row.
From the first whistle, it was the opposition who looked the sharper, Ballycomoyle struggled to get hold of the game, some good duels on the pitch, however. After a tough first half, our girls went in 7 points behind.
Onto the 2nd half, some positional changes Ballycomoyle knew they had to dig deep, playing with the wind they registered there first score however again we struggled to contain the opposition and after they scored a goal our task was even harder. A red card for one of the Ballycomoyle girls was unfortunate, Ballycomoyle emptied the bench with 10 mins to go, but alas, the result was beyond our girls.
Many thanks to our ladies and their management team.
Thanks to the referee, to the travelling support, to our ladies who stuck with the process throughout, well see you back on the pitch next season.

Referee Paul O Malley
Our junior ladies were out on Friday evening last 12/9/25 in Junior B quarter final.
After what has been a challenging campaign,this was the chance to really make a difference.
On the Lomans 3G pitch and under lights both teams were up for it. From the first throw in Ballycomoyle were up for the fight, some fantastic football and teamwork merited fantastic scoring, Athlone had very little answers to the Ballycomoyle determination. The girls hammered in their dominance and went in at HT with a good lead.
In the 2nd half and with the weather turning, Athlone started to come back into this. But two more goals from the Ballycomoyle ladies ended the challenge. Our backs stood firm keeping the attack at bay. From 1-19, our girls showed what it means to wear a Ballycomoyle jersey. Full-time whistle and Ballycomoyle were into a 3rd Junior B semi final. Time / date TBC

On Tuesday evening last 19/8/25 our Under 16 girls took on St Joseph's at home in Ballycomoyle in what was to be a great contest. Our girls, boyd by 2 game win on the bounce, wanted that to continue. Ballycomoyle started brightly but guilty of missing some guilt edged chances in the first half gave the upper hand to Joseph's. Both teams were trading seriously good scores. St Joseph's were determined not to lose this fixture and went in at Half Time 2 points up.
Into the 2nd half and some positional changes and substitutions saw Ballycomoyle a different outfit. They grappled back the momentum and hit Joseph's with some great scores. With the opposition tiring, Ballycomoyle kept going, and some late goals sealed a fantastic win. These girls never give up and are only getting better.

Report.
Our junior ladies began their championship campaign on Sunday evening last 10/8/25 against Delvin St Paul's in Ballycomoyle.
Missing 8 from our panel, the girls struggled to get to grips with the opposition from the throw in.
With only 15 to call upon the girls battled hard, but Delvin St Pauls took every opportunity open to them and took their scores well. A wrist injury to our captain didn't help the cause.
Onto the 2nd half and Ballycomoyle got stuck in, but unfortunately, a few quick scores from the opposition really made the comeback impossible. And try as hard as they could it wasn't our day.
Next up, Milltownpass at home. Friday 15-08 @ 7pm.

U18 div 3B round 3.
St Michaels and Delvin St Paul's played out a cracker on Thursday evening last 31/7/25
in Castletown pitch in the third round of the championship.
Very little could separate these Amalgamations from the North of the county in a fierce contest where every player exceled in skill bravery and passion.
St. Michaels went in at the break up by 4 points but the visitors pushed hard to get back to the minimum.
Stout defence and hard tackling in the middle of the field allowed the forwards increasing space to pick off scores as Delvin St Paul's chased the game.
St. Michaels held out for a narrow victory.

On Saturday morning Ballycomoyle hosted u8 and u10 girls go games. We welcomed killucan, Bunbrosna, CFCW and St. Paul’s. We were blessed with the weather and we had a very enjoyable morning of football. Our own young girls showed off the skills they are learning every Friday evening at training. We are so appreciative of all the help and support that we received to run the go games. Huge shout out to everyone who refereed, made teas, marked pitches, helped with traffic! Thanks to all the young girls and their parents that travelled to Ballycomoyle and I hoped all the girls had a great morning of football and fun.

Under 14 Championship.
We welcomed St Joseph's to Ballycomoyle on Thursday evening last the 17/7/25 for our first game in the 2025 under 14 championship. We started with the sun shining and got the scoring under way with some lovely points by the girls.
About 15 mins in however the heavens opened and the rain came down in lorry loads, the sideline was lined with umbrellas but this did not deter the Ballycomoyle girls who dug deep and kept the pressure up, going in at half time with a comfortable lead.
The second half started again with the rain getting heavier and heavier. Again our girls ploughed on. St josephs started to get to grips too and pointed some lovely scores but our defence was superb only allowing a few goals to get passed.
Our substitute goalie for the evening looked like she belonged in goals and was clinical in her saves, our defence and midfield ploughed on and the forwards were brilliant in taking any chance they could.
In the end Ballycomoyle came away with a very convincing win.
Thank you to St Joseph's, and to Referee Ray Farrelly, to all the parents who cheered on the girls and to the 17 girls who togged out on the worst evening of the summer so far.
We meet St Pauls / Delvin in the next round.

Killucan 2/11 v Ballycomoyle 1/03
Venue killucan
Time 7pm
Ref Paul Mcgoughey.
Our first outing of the year saw our minors travel to killucan for a DV 3 clash.
It was Ballycomoyle who started the brighter with some lovely football. However, it was killucan who opened the scoring on 9 mins. Both Teams looked sharp, but some poor finishing and a multitude of wides were the downfall of the away team, but both could be guilty of this. Ballycomoyle hit the net just before halftime to bring it within 3 points
Into the 2nd half and again both teams trading wides, but it was the home team who pulled away with 2 unanswered goals.
On the final whistle, it was killucan the Victor's.
Thanks to the travelling support.

St Michael's Fixtures and Results.
Result.
St Michaels Minors travelled to Ballymore to take on Milmore Gaels in the 2nd round of the U18 Championship. Amid heavy showers, both teams produced a great display. St Michaels ended the first half with a 2.9 to 2.7 lead, but Millmore started the 2nd half the strongest and goals proved their friend. They roared into a 10pt lead in the second half only to be pegged back to 3pts in the closing minutes. A narrow wide from close range was St Michaels last throw of the dice but the goal eluded them. A thoroughly enjoyable game watched by a big crowd saw St Michaels loose by 3pts, but they can be very proud of their performance. A special mention to one of our scoring forwards who scored four 2 pointers and a goal, as well as other free kick scores. Thanks to all who supported the lads. On we go.

Despite the threat of showers a fine evening developed. Play started on time at 7 and an entertaining first half got under way.
The home team played with a slight wind and got off to a good start taking some early chances to take the lead before St Michaels found their feet.
Lillyput went in at the break up by a few scores.
St Michaels got off to a flyer in the second half and picked off some fine points.
The home side however got back to the pace of the game and scored some impressive goals as time went on and the subs rolled in.
Our lads put in a great effort.
We were just beaten by the better team on the night.
Their is no doubt our lads will bounce back after this defeat.

2/7/25
St Michael's v St Loman's.
Div 3 round 1.
St Michael's recorded a comprehensive victory over their rivals this evening in Ballycomoyle. A perfect setting for football after early showers set the scene for an enthralling contest to get the under 14 championship off and running.
Some early scores settled the home side, and St Michael's were on the front foot with lomans struggling to find their accuracy.
The visitors found their form late in the first half and rattled off some fine scores.
St Michaels were not to be caught, and a second half masterclass from midfield ensured the points went to the home side.
Final score
St Michaels 13-13
St Lomans (2) 4-10

Under 12 Boys.
Our U12 boys were thrilled to get the opportunity to play in Cusack Park on Friday evening last 4/7/25. The conditions were dreadful but this did not dampen our boys enthusiasm!
We played two games, the first game was a very strong Coralstown Kinnegad team. This game was the toughest match the boys have faced this year but despite a tough first half they came out fighting for the second half where they put on a much stronger performance.
The second game against Garrycastle was a nail biting game for all in attendance. The boys played very well in the poor weather conditions and showed plenty of skill.
Thanks to the parents for once again bringing the boys and supporting them on what was a miserable night!
Thanks to the coaches for their time and dedication to this group.Many thanks Darren, Ian and Barry.
Thanks to the referees and lastly many thanks to Cusack Park for making the park available for the opportunity for our young boys to play football
Memories were made and the future is very bright for Ballycomoyle with this group of boys!.

Junior ladies Result.
Our adult ladies faced Athlone on Tuesday evening last 24/6/25 in a rescheduled fixture. With a depleted panel, the Ballycomoyle girls showed huge determination in the first half, both teams trading scores. It took the Ballycomoyle girls a while to get on the score sheet, and with some good goal keeping kept Athlone to a minimum. Unfortunately, Ballycomoyle lost a player to injury, which meant both sides reduced to 14.
Ht Score 2-04 - 4-05.
Onto the 2nd half and again, the bal ladies fought hard, both teams trading scores, However with no resources and no luck after hitting the bar on 4 occasions the game slipped away, ending on a scoreline
Ballycomoyle 4-10 / Athlone 5-12.
Well done Girls and Management team.

Ladies Football.
Ballycomoyle U14 Ladies travelled to Moate on Thursday evening last 12/6/25 in their second last league game to play against Moate Ladies, after a horrendous day of rain the game eventually started after a 10 minute delay, it was the home side of Moate who started the better, however the Ballycomoyle girls soon got on the score board and scores were traded each way . We went in at half time 2 points ahead.
It was moate who started the better after the half, and went into the lead of 12 points, however Ballycomoyle fought back and brought back the deficit to 4 points at one stage. We were very lucky not to score 2 goals in the dying minutes of the game.
It was the home side with the victory at the final whistle.
Thank you to Moate and to the referee for a very sporting match, at one stage in the game our Ballycomoyle girls could be seen helping out their markers, tying laces and helping take off gloves etc.
Credit goes to our girls who never hung their heads and kept going to the whistle, special mention to our injured teammates who travelled down to cheer on our girls.
Thank you to the parents and supporters who cheer us on and kept the girls going to the final whistle

St Michael's Under 14 .
Division 2
Round 5
St Michaels v St Mary's
St Michaels travelled to Rochfortbridge on Wednesday evening last 21/5/25 to play the last round of this year's league.
A perfect evening for football seen some excellent play and scores in a good natured game.
St Mary's had the upper hand throughout and despite some stout defending and good shot stopping from our new keeper the home team were never in doubt of the victory.
21 players togged out and all played a decent part.
Next up is the championship in a few weeks time.
Report.
St Michaels v Inny shamrocks
Under 18 league div 3 Round 5.
St Michaels concluded the league in Ballinacarrigy on Friday evening in damp blustery conditions.
A decent start from the visitors was soon snuffed out by superior opposition in every part of the field.
Inny shamrocks scored freely without reply for large parts of the match before some consolidation scores took the bad look from the scoreboard.
Next up is the championship in a few weeks for this group of players.

Under 16 girls.
League Division 1.
Our girls travelled to Rosemount on Tuesday evening last 20/5/25 in a rescheduled fixture with Cill Oige.
Our girls started very brightly, and for the first 15 mins, they were dominant. Some lovely interaction and scoring from the Ballycomoyle ladies. At Half time there was nothing to separate the teams.
Into the 2nd half and Cill Oige took control, their dominance took hold, and our girls simply had no answers. They endeavoured to keep the fight, but some quick succession goals made the difference.
Not to be tonight, but these young ladies never give up. Some of them now head off to junior cert, and we wish them all the luck with that. Div 1 was always a tough task but as a small club we earned the right to compete with the county's top clubs.
We will regroup and await the championship campaign.
Many thanks to the parents for making their second successive long away trip.
Match Report.
Under 14 girls.
Ballycomoyle u14 girls travelled to streamstown on Thursday evening last the 22nd May in glorious sunshine.
It was St josephs who started the scoring with a point from play, Ballycomoyle responded with a goal and a point shortly afterwards to get us in front.
We scored another 2-01before the break while St Josephs pointed another 7 very well taken points. The Ballycomoyle Goalie pulled off 3 amazing saves to keep Ballycomoyle in front at the break. Half time score was 3-02 to 0-08 points.
The second half started well for us when our full forward line netted three goals in quick succession, it was all over by then, but St Joeephs never gave in and found the net twice.
Congratulations to this amazing bunch of ladies who pushed on through very tough conditions, the sun and heat never died down at all,
Thanks to St Joseph's for having us, to Mary for the organising, to the referee who looked after the girls and made sure girls had water on board at every opportunity, to the parents and supporters who travelled. Thank you to the coaches and well done to the girls, who always have a smile and a few giggles when the games are complete. Ye are a credit to our club.

Under 16 girls match Report.
Our under 16 girls travelled to Garrycastle on Tuesday evening last 13/5/25 for Round 5 of Division 1.
In what was a difficult challenge the girls they really got stuck in. It was Garrycastle who started the brighter kicking some lovely scores, but Ballycomoyle rallied and started some fine movements, ending in good scoring opportunities. A pivotal moment in the first half saw Ballycomoyle reduced to 14 with a yellow card, and with the heat it was difficult. Ballycomoyle were 6 points down at Halftime.
Onto 2nd half and Garrycastle were dominant, but our ladies' never gave up, tirelessly working as a team Garrycastle were able to bring on many substitutes which really made the difference. Unfortunately not to be for our girls. We go again with a rescheduled fixture vs Athlone.
Thanks to parents for making the long track to Garrycastle. Also many thanks to Garrycastle for supplying our girls with ice pops at the end of the match.

A huge word of thanks to our main sponsor JMC Car sales and all our other sponsors, without your generous donations this would not have been possible. Also, thanks to our three judges on the night John Mc Cabe, Ursula Cahill and Jimmy Jests, to Davy & Sarita Nolan at Nolan Engineering for making the fabulous awards for the night.

Well done Girls.
Our U16 girls
welcomed our Div 1 opponents St Lomans to Ballycomoyle on Thursday evening last 8/5/25 in glorious conditions for a game.
As both teams were identical in colour, Ballycomoyle reverted to traditional hoops for the fixture. Lomans started the game stronger scoring a few unanswered points, but once Ballycomoyle adjusted, the fixture became a real battle. The bal girls got into their strides with some lovely scores. As the game ebbed and flowed, there was very little to separate them. Ballycomoyle 4 points up at HT. Into the 2nd half and again both teams traded scores, the difference being Ballycomoyle found the net on 7 occasions, Towards the end Lomans chipped away pointing from free kicks. But at the final whistle, it was Ballycomoyle come out the Victor's by 6 points.
But what a game between 2 very talented teams.
Thanks to everyone for your support. And to Ref James Allard.

St Michaels Blue v Garrycastle
Garrycastle made the long journey to Ballycomoyle in glorious sunshine to contest the 4th round of the league.
St Michaels were slow of the mark for the 1st half and allowed the visitors to play through them without much in the way of resistance.
The second half proved a different story altogether.
Fierce play from St Michaels showed a competitive edge and hunger for scores. Strong tackling a support play resulted in some super scores.
Unfortunately the damage was done in the 1st half and the visitors came away with the points.
Well done to all. A trip to Rochfortbridge in 2 weeks will complete our league
campaign.

Scor.
The Leinster semi-final of Scór Sinsear was held on Sunday in Wilkinstown, Co Meath.
Ballycomoyle was represented in Solo Singing, by Blathnaid Daly, and in the Ballad group competition.
Blathnaid sang beautifully and has to have been very unlucky not to get the nod from the judges.
Our Ballad Group of Aoibhínn Dolan, Zara Geraghty, Naomi Fitzpatrick, Blathnaid Daly and Cliodhna Daly gave an excellent performance and, along with the group from Longford, have qualified for the Leinster Final, which will be held on Sunday, April 6th at 1pm in The Downs.
Congratulations to the girls and we wish them the very best of luck in the Leinster final.

Fondúireacht Sheosaimh Mhic Dhonncha/ The Joe McDonagh Foundation.
Is scéim tacaíochta de chuid Ghlór na nGael agus de chuid an Chumainn Lúthchleas Gael í Fondúireacht Sheosaimh Mhic Dhonncha le haghaidh clubanna CLG ar mian leo an Ghaeilge a chur chun cinn.
The Foundation is here to help develop the promotion of the Irish language in clubs, in a more measured and planned fashion. Glór na nGael offers help to the Oifigeach Gaeilge to give them direction, support and ideas to build on the work that has already been done within the club. Grants are available from the Foundation to help realise club plans and medals are awarded to clubs for various levels of achievement in promotion of the language.
This year, in 2024, Baile Uí Chumaoil registered with the Foundation and a working group – our Grúpa Gaeilge - was formed to organise language promoting activities. The members of the Grúpa Gaeilge are Catherine Daly, Shannon Farrelly, Evan Farrelly, Shaunagh Maher, Joanne McCormack, Bláthnaid Daly, Naomi Fitzpatrick and Kelly Dobson.
The club undertook a survey with members regarding Irish Language within the club, during April and used the results to help guide activities.
Taking into consideration the demands and language needs recognised in the survey as well as the aims of the Executive Committee, the following vision statement was agreed, Ag Cruthú Spás don Ghaeilge (Making space for Gaeilge) for the club’s Irish Language Plan.
This vision statement demonstrates that our members will have an opportunity to use and learn the Irish language through our various club activities and that the language will have an important place in the life of our club.
Scór and Scór na nÓg have formed a central and very important part of our club activities for a number of years. We will continue to offer opportunities to club members and members of our locality to participate in Scór competitions. We held a successful Scór na nÓg workshop on the 25th of August, and new participants were recruited as a result of their attendance at this workshop.
In March 2024 we organised Oral Irish practice session for Leaving Cert students in the locality and we organised a weekly ‘Ciorcal Comhrá’ at the beginning of the summer. We hope to resume the ‘Ciorcal Comhrá’, possibly in the New Year. We plan to continue to offer these opportunities in the future.
We applied for and received 2 grants – One was used to fund the purchase of signage – Fingerpost signs for the pitch and signage ‘As Gaeilge’ at the pitch, displayed on the dressing rooms.
The 2nd grant was to cover the cost of a series of Drama Workshops for children aged 9 to 12, being run over 5 Friday evenings in Fore NS. The first workshop was held on Friday, November 22nd and continue each Friday. They are being facilitated by Blathnaid Daly.
We were delighted to receive word that we were being awarded the Bronze medal for our work this year. This was be presented at an awards function in Croke Park last Friday evening, which was attended by Sean and Catherine Daly, on behalf of the club. Baile Uí Chumaoil was one of two Westmeath clubs presented on Friday night, the other being Na Dúnta.
Many thanks to our Grúpa Gaeilge and to all who helped out with the various initiatives over the course of the year. We plan to continue with many of these, and others, throughout 2025.

We held our AGM on Wednesday night last 27/11/24 in the Castle Varagh Hotel, Castlepollard.

Scór na nÓg Final Report.
Ballycomoyle was very well represented at the Westmeath Scór na nÓg final, which was held on Sunday afternoon last, November 10th, in The Downs GAA Centre. While we came away with no county titles this year, each of our competitors gave their performances their very best.
The Tráth na gCeisteanna competition was held, before the stage competitions kicked off. We were very well represented in this competition with 2 teams – Will Keogh, Luke Moynagh and Billy & Danny Ginnell and Tom Keogh, Jack Tyrell, Charlie Crone and Emmet Devine. While neither team finished in the top 3 they can be very proud of their performances. The Downs went on to win the quiz and we wish them the very best of luck in the Leinster Final at the end of this month.
First to participate, for Ballycomoyle, in the stage competitions, was Cliodhna Fitzpatrick, in the Recitation competition. She recited ‘The Guilty Child’ brilliantly but the winner of this competition was Alanna Corroon, from The Downs.
Our ballad group of Cliodhna Fitzpatrick, Skye McCormack, Arwen Briody, Ava Williams and Niamh Louise Ledwith Byrne gave a lovely performance of their two songs, which they can be proud of. The winners in this competition came from Moate All Whites.
Both our groups in the Novelty Act competition qualified for the final and gave fantastic performances of their acts last Sunday. The Ballycomoyle GAA representatives were Tom Keogh, Jack and Kate Tyrell, Holly McCormack, Beibhínn Fagan, Annie Farrelly, Angie Murtagh and Callie Cheevers, with their act entitled “Waxed Out”. Ballycomoyle Ladies were represented by Clodagh Gallagher, Cliodhna Fitzpatrick, Caragh Masterson, Skye McCormack, Arwen Briody, Ava Williams and Niamh Louise Ledwith Byrne, who performed their act, “Westmeath’s Got Talent”. The Novelty Act winners, on the day, came from The Downs.
The final competition of the evening was the Set Dancing and we were represented on the night by Clodagh Gallagher, Cliodhna Fitzpatrick, Caragh Masterson, Niamh Louise Ledwith Byrne, Caitlin Masterson, Ellie Murtagh, Mikaela Morgan and Teegan Rooney. The girls danced exceptionally well and when the results were announced it was the team from The Downs who got the nod from the adjudicators and progressed to the Leinster semi-final. The winners of the ‘Sarah Bardon award’ were the team from St. Joseph’s.
Congratulations to all the young people who represented our club so well last Sunday. While we took home no county titles, we are very proud of all the performances of our young competitors – all of whom have a number of years at Scór na nÓg level. We wish all the Westmeath competitors the very best of luck as they head into the Leinster rounds of this year’s competitions.
Junior men.
Our Junior B team travelled to Shandonagh on Friday evening last 15/11/24 to take on the home side in junior B Competition quarter final.
On a miserable evening for football both team played out a very enjoyable game of football Shandonagh started the brighter putting over the first 3 pts before the Ballycomoyle lads registered their first score after 9 minutes.
As the half went on Shandonagh were more accurate and went in at half time leading.
Half time score
Shandonagh 0-11
Ballycomoyle 0- 03.
Into the second half and it was the Ballycomoyle lads that fired over the first 2 pts of the second half.
The Ballycomoyle lads were now on top playing great football and had now Shandonagh down to 3pts but unfortunately Shandonagh struck for goal but our lads never give up getting the next 2 pts but it was Shandonagh that score the last point of the game on the final whistle.
Final Score.
Ballycomoyle 1-10
Shandonagh 1-15.

Ladies football.
Our Minor ladies travelled to St Lomans on Sunday last 10/11/24 in one of the biggest challenges the girls have had.
St Lomans took command from the throw in scoring quickly but once Ballycomoyle settled Lomans knew they were in for a test. Ballycomoyle themselves hit some lovely scores and great inter play.
Into the 2nd half and it was Ballycomoyle who started the stronger pinning St Lomans in there own half, hitting 1-03 without reply. However it was the St Lomans quick counter attacks that had them gain advantage overall.
In the clubs first outing in a division 1 minor championship the girls done themselves and the club proud. A semi final appearance not to be underestimated.
We regroup now for the winter and get going again in 2025,
Thanks to supporters for coming along.
On behalf of the management team it's been a privilege to coach this group of young ladies and watch them flourish.

Ladies football.
Our minor girls came up against Caulry on Sunday last 3/11/24 in the Division 1 quarter final. From the first whistle it was clear that this team had only one intention and that was a win. Some very quick goals in first 10 mins settled the girls nerves, Some superb football and more scoring meant a comfortable half time lead.
Ballycomoyle. 7-03
Caulry. 3-02
Into the 2nd half and it was more of the same from the Ballycomoyle girls, a very well worked move ended with a quick fire goal, More goals quickly followed, Ballycomoyle were able to empty the bench to bring even more misery on Caulry. The girls never tired and kept wanting more right to the final whistle.
Ballycomoyle: 12-08
Caulry: 3-05
We now head to even tougher opposition next Sunday 10/11/24 in Division 1 semi final against St Lomans. But that's where these girls thrive, being the underdogs.
Thanks to all supporters for coming to the match on Sunday last.The girls very much appreciated your support.
Scór na nÓg Semi-Final
Ballycomoyle was very well represented at the Westmeath Scór na nÓg semi-final, which was held on Friday night in Coole. In total 8 clubs competed, including Ballycomoyle GAA and Ballycomoyle Ladies.
In the Recitation competition the Ballycomoyle Ladies representative was Cliodhna Fitzpatrick, who recited ‘The Guilty Child’ and Ballycomoyle GAA were represented by Holly McCormack, whose recitation was ‘My Baby Sister’. Both girls performed really well and congratulations to Cliodhna, who has qualified for the county final next weekend.
We had two groups in the Ballad Group competition – Ballycomoyle GAA were ably represented by Holly McCormack, Kate Tyrell, Alannah Styles, Muirne and Beibhínn Fagan. This young group performed beautifully and were unlucky not to qualify for the final. The Ballycomoyle Ladies group of Cliodhna Fitzpatrick, Skye McCormack, Arwen Briody, Ava Williams and Niamh Louise Ledwith Byrne qualified for the final after giving a lovely performance of their two songs.
Both groups in the Novelty Act competition have qualified for the final after giving great performances of their acts.

U16 ladies Division 3 championship final
Ballycomoyle v Athlone
Our girls travelled to Killucan in a repeat of last years final taking on Athlone. From the first whistle, it was clear to all our supporters that we were not going to suffer another heartache of losing this final. The girls started strong with some quickly taken goals in the first half, and really solid defending kept Athlone to shooting for points. Ballycomoyle scored 4 unanswered goals in the first half.
Half Time
Ballycomoyle girls 4-05
Athlone. 0-04
Into the 2nd half, and it was vital we kept Athlone at a distance, but alas, they struck with a goal early on. But our girls rallied hard, as the weather conditions got worse, both teams went at it full blast. Athlone hit 2 goals in quick succession, but Ballycomoyle kept grinding away, scoring 3 more of their own. It was a fantastic effort from all 24 on the panel. With 3 mins injury time, the sweet sound of the Referee's whistle meant, Ballycomoyle were Div 3 county champions.
This was a fantastic result for our girls we as a club are extremely proud of you all.
Behind every great team there is a great management team.
Congratulations to the management team.
To the parents of the girls, we can't thank you enough for making sure the girls were always at training. And if we needed any help throughout the year you were always there to make yourselves available to help us out.
Many thanks to Athlone for a very sporting game of football.
Many thanks to Referee Barry Nea and his team of Officials.
On job well done.

Our lads have now finished in second place in group

U14 Div 3 shield final.
St Michael's 3-9
St Paul's 0-6
St Michael's rounded off their under 14 campaign with a hard-fought victory in Ballinacarrigy this afternoon against a depleted St Paul's.
An edgy opening quarter meant chances were few before the 1st point of the game on 10 minutes.
Both teams settled into an open match and St Michaels went in up by 2 points at the break.
Playing with the wind in the second half brought more clear cut chances and Michaels forwards took full advantage.
This game brings the curtain down on a successful season with a feile final, an unbeaten league campaign and now a shield in the championship.
Thanks to the players, parents, opponents, refs, coaches, Co board officials and anyone involved with making these games happen.
See you next year....

Ballycomoyle junior Ladies.
6/10/24.
What a fantastic day for our junior ladies in the Junior B Championship Final as our ladies take the cup home to Ballycomoyle.
The Ballycomoyle ladies got off to the better start in this match getting the first 2 pts of the game in the 5th and 6th minute. But Shandonagh were level by the 9th minute with 2 pts of their own.
By 29th minute it was Shandonagh ladies that were in front by narrowest of margins. But it was the Ballycomoyle ladies that popped over the last score of the half a point to leave the half time score.
Ballycomoyle. 2-03.
Shandonagh. 2-03.
In the second half it was Shandonagh that took the lead again with a point. Shandonagh then got their second point of the half to go 2pts up. But it was the Ballycomoyle ladies that had a point of their own on 42nd minute. Quickly added to by a fine taken goal in 45th minute to put the Ballycomoyle ladies in a deserving lead. The Ballycomoyle ladies struck for their fourth goal in 48th minute to really put the pressure onto Shandonagh. But in fairness to Shandonagh they weren't going to give up without a fight with two more great points of their own.
The Ballycomoyle ladies were playing extremely well when they popped over the next 3 points to go 6pts up. Shandonagh had the final say in this match with a fine taken goal of their own.
As the final whistle sounded the junior B championship was heading back to the Bal.
Final Score. Ballycomoyle. 4-07
Shandonagh. 3-07
Many congratulations girls and management team this is a fantastic achievement to bring the cup back to Bal. Many

Thanks to everyone that helped out on the night, our door men, people who helped on the dance floor, on the door, in the shop and for our brilliant braids that the children loved! We would also like to thank Nolan sounds for the lights and the speakers as our disco! It was a great evening and lovely to see so many children come together.

St Mary's got the scoring going with the first goal, while Ballycomoyle struggled, putting 4 wides consecutively, however they found the net after 9 minutes of play and it was level pegging. Scores exchanged one by one after that and Ballycomoyle were behind at the break on a scoreline of Ballycomoyle 3.00
St Mary's 4-04
The second half started and St Mary's caught out the Ballycomoyle defence and the ball hit the net. Ballycomoyle never really recovered after this and St Marys were always ahead however, the Ballycomoyle girls never gave up and were the stronger team in the second half. But unfortunately it wasn't to be for our girls, after sustaining heavy injuries with two of the main structure carried off the pitch. The girls kept their heads and finished out on a final scoreline of Ballycomoyle 5 3
St Mary's 6.06.
We are extremely proud of these young ladies who have great football careers ahead of them, your day is definitely coming, thank you to the coaching and mentoring staff, and to all the parents and supporters for their commitment during the year.
Congratulations to St Mary's and we wish them well in the County final.

But it doesn't always work out that way.
With St Lomans playing with a very strong breeze in the first half,
there wasn't a lot between the two teams and in fairness the Ballycomoyle lads were giving as good as they were getting.
As the first half came to an end it was St Lomans that used the breeze to their advantage and went in half time leading on a scoreline of.
St Lomans. 1-09
Ballycomoyle. 1-03
In the second half the Ballycomoyle lads really played their hearts out
and came within 3 points of St Lomans. There was nothing between the two teams in the second half with some fine football played by both teams and some fine scores taken.
As the final whistle sounded it was St Lomans that advanced to the junior 1 semi final .

Rinneamar suirbhé ar bhaill maidir leis an Ghaeilge sa chlub idir 3/4/2024 agus 25/4/2024. Léirigh 86.1% gur mhaith leo go mbeadh stádas níos lárnaí ag an Ghaeilge i saol oifigiúil an chlub agus 75% gur chóir don chlub plean don Ghaeilge a fheidhmiú. Ag aithint na héilimh agus na riachtanais a léiríodh sa suirbhé agus mianta Choiste Feidhmiúcháin agus Coiste Gaeilge an chlub, aontaíodh an fís Ag Cruthú Spás don Ghaeilge (Making space for Gaeilge) don phlean teanga. Léiríonn an fhís seo an bhéim a chuirfear ar fhoghlaim agus ar úsáid na Gaeilge a chothú i measc óige an chlub. Is é an rún atá againn ná go mbeidh fáil ar dheiseanna foghlamtha oiriúnacha ag gach ball óg agus ardú suntasach ar úsáid na Gaeilge i measc na mball óg dá bharr faoi dheireadh thréimhse feidhme an phlean. Ta áit lárnach agus tabhachtach ag Scór agus Scór na nÓg in ár gclub le blianta anuas. Leanfaimid ar aghaidh ag tabhairt seansanna do mhuintir ár gclub agus ár gceantar páirt a ghlacadh i gcomórtais de chuid Scór. Ta i gceist againn Ceardlann Scór na nÓg a eagrú roimh deireadh Mí Lúnasa. I Mí Márta bhí cleachtadh don béal triail eagraithe ag an gclub agus bhí ciorcal comhrá eagraithe ag tus an samhradh. Táimid ar sos ón gCiorcal comhrá faoi lathair ach tosóimid arís roimh deireadh Mí Mean Fomhar. Ag dul ar aghaidh eagrófaí níos mó do na deiseanna seo.

The Joe McDonagh Foundation is a support service provided by Glór na nGael and the Gaelic Athletic Association to GAA clubs wishing to further the Irish Language in their community. Most clubs have been promoting the Irish language in some form or another. The Foundation is here to help develop that promotion in a more measured and planned fashion. Glór na nGael will offer help to the Oifigeach Gaeilge to give them direction, support and ideas to build on the good work that has already been done within the club. Grants are available from the Foundation to help realise your plans and medals will be awarded to clubs for various levels of achievement in promotion of the language. This year, in 2024, Baile Uí Chumaoil registered with the Foundation and a working group was formed to organise language promoting activities. The club undertook a survey with members regarding Irish Language within the club between 3/4/2024 and 25/4/2024. 36 people took part and 86.1% of survey participants agreed that they would like to see the Irish language have a more prominent role within the club and 75% agreed that the club should implement an Irish language plan. Taking into consideration the demands and language needs recognised in the survey as well as the aims of the Executive Committee, the following vision statement was agreed, Ag Cruthú Spás don Ghaeilge (Making space for Gaeilge) for the club’s Irish Language Plan. This vision statement demonstrates that our members will have an opportunity to use and learn the Irish language through our various club activities and that the language will have an important place in the life of our club. Scór and Scór na nÓg have formed a central and very important part of our club activities for a number of years. We will continue to offer opportunities to club members and members of our locality to participate in Scór competitions. We plan to hold a Scór na nÓg workshop before the end of August – full details to follow. In March 2024 we organised Oral Irish practice session for Leaving Cert students in the locality and we organised a weekly ‘Ciorcal Comhrá’ at the beginning of the summer. We are currently on a break from the ‘Ciorcal Comhrá’ but plan to recommence before the end of September. We will continue to offer these opportunities in the future. If you would like to find out more about the ‘Fondúireacht’ or are interested in information about any of the activities mentioned please contact Club Cultural Officer, Catherine Daly, on 087 9185962.

Under 20 football championship
St Michael's welcomed Maryland/Tang on Tuesday evening last 10/8/24 to Castletown Finea as St Michaels U20s took on Maryland/Tang in their second championship game. St Michaels started the strongest and their first score was a goal. As half came to an end the score line was 2.3 to 0.6 in favour of St Michaels. The second half was a tighter affair and Maryland/Tang kept the pressure on throughout the whole half. A fortunist goal for St Michaels broke the oppositions resolve and this was followed by a second goal which swung this game in St Michaels favour.
St Michael's 5-07
Maryland/Tang. 2-09
Congratulations lads and management on a fantastic result.

St Pauls Delvin v Ballycomoyle
Ballycomoyle junior ladies played their second championship match away at St Pauls Delvin on Saturday evening 10/08/24. On a warm evening in front of a large support, both teams served up a competitive first half of football; closer than the scoreline of Ballycomoyle 1-09 Delvin 4-09 would suggest, with only a few kicks of the ball between the teams and some missed scoring opportunities for the Ballycomoyle ladies. A strong defence in the second half reduced the number of goal opportunities for the home side but a very experienced St Pauls team got the victory in the end. Despite the final scoreline, a lot of positives to take from the game; almost half the match day panel were experiencing being involved in junior football for the first time and also some well-taken scores by the Ballycomoyle forwards. Thanks to St Pauls for a good game and to the referee Michael Moran.
Final score: Ballycomoyle 1-10 Delvin St Pauls 5-20

Ballycomoyle v St Lomans
St Lomans were our visitors to Ballycomoyle on Friday evening last 9/8/24 in a round of the under 12 league.

Thanks to St. Lomans for traveling and for a great game of football.

A little tribute to Shaunagh from her under 8 girls.
On Friday night last 9/8/24 we presented Shaunagh with a small token of appreciation from Ballycomoyle for all her work and dedication to our club. Shaunagh has been an integral part of our club having played football all the way up and also as Secretary for our ladies club. She always gives up her time to help us here in Ballycomoyle and this year even with her busy schedule was part of the training team for our under 8 girls. We wish her luck on her next adventure in life and she will be sorely missed. Our loss is Dubai’s gain.

Junior men.
Junior 1 football championship Section Round 1
Result and Report.
Our junior men travelled to Shandonagh on Friday evening last 19/7/24 to take on St Josephs in round 1 of the junior 1 football championship. This game started in a scoring blitz with St Joseph's scoring the first score a point after 30 seconds. The Ballycomoyle lads were soon back on level term's and now were playing some good football kicking good scores but St Joseph's were getting good scores of their own and staying within striking distance of our lads and with 15 minutes gone in the first half it was our lads up by 2 pts Ballycomoyle 1-05 Josephs 1-03. There was very little between the two teams in the following 15 minutes and as the half time whistle sounded it was St Josephs just ahead on score line of Ballycomoyle 1-07 St Josephs 1-09. As the second half started it was St Joseph's who just started the better team and just got the vital score's at the right time of the match to push ahead. We can say our lads never gave up against a strong St Joseph's team who is one of the favourites to win the junior football championship. Well done lads ye put in a huge effort. We wish St Joseph's the very best of luck in the rest this year's championship. Well done to Referee Ken Daly on a job well done.

Report. Coralstown Kinnegad v St Michael's
10/7/24
Under14 Division 2 football championship .
Coralstown Kinnegad v St Michaels.
St Michael's made the journey to Kinnegad for the first round of the under 14 Division 2 football championship campaign on a dry and breezy evening. Missing 5 players from the league final last month it was an opportunity for some younger players to make an impression. Kinnegad proved too strong and played excellent football to come away with the points, Michael's played well and never dropped the heads despite being on the back foot most of the game. This experience will prove valuable in later rounds.
A bye in round 2 will bring us into August 8th when Killucan come to Ballycomoyle for round 3.

Ballycomoyle 3-07
The Downs 6-10.
We played our final league match on Tuesday evening last 25/6/24 against a strong Downs side.
Ballycomoyle came out of the blocks in superb firm playing some fantastic football all over and gaining some seriously good scores. The Downs had very little answer to Ballycomoyle's dominance. Half Time Score read Ballycomoyle 3-06. The Downs 2-03.
Into the 2nd half and the Downs took complete control, There county players took the game by the scruff and dominated kicking some great points, and goals, Ballycomoyle struggled to gain any momentum and in the end a lack of training for 3 weeks with exams etc took its toll. We thank our under 14 girls who stood up to their task to help out they never looked out of their depth. Onwards now to Championship football and we look forward to seeing who we play.

Ballycomoyle ladies football.
Our under 14 lose out by the narrowest of margins.
Our under 14 girls welcomed Loughnavalley to Ballycomoyle for the last round of the under 14 League on Thursday evening last 20/6/24. The loughnavalley girls got off to a great start in this match going into a 1-04 lead. It took 12 minutes in the match for our girls to get the first score and played some fine football resulting in 5-point lead at the break. Loughnavalley made some changes in their forward line and they came out strong in the second half, they took their scores very well while we were unlucky at the other end with some fine shots on goal unfortunately going the wrong side of the uprights. With 5 minutes to go the Ballycomoyle girls were trailing by 4 points but the girls dug deep and a goal by our girls left it a one point match. Ballycomoyle gave everything in the last few minutes of this match with two great chances to level the match but unfortunately it wasn't to be. As the final whistle sounded. It was Loughnavalley winning out on a score of Ballycomoyle 5-09 Loughnavalley 3-16.
Well done to this amazing bunch of young ladies who kept battling until the whistle sound's and who played with great heart and determination with every girl giving 100%.
Many thanks to our under 12 comrades who play with us, they are very much part of our team now, and thank you to all the parents and supporters.
We now look forward to the under 14 championship.

St Michaels emerged victorious from an enthralling final played in Multyfarnham on Monday evening.
Inny Shamrocks got off to a perfect start scoring 1-1 in the opening few minutes and used the wind to full advantage to go in at the break up by 6 points.
Another early goal for Inny Shamrocks set a difficult task for St Michaels but the team responded in ferocious capacity to bring back the deficit and push into a 4 point lead with minutes to go.
Inny shamrocks scored a point and a late free set the heart rates racing but Michaels held firm and when the final whistle blew joyous celebrations erupted on the field and on the sideline.

Under 14 Report.
We welcomed Killucan to Ballycomoyle on Thursday evening last 6/6/24 for a round of the U14 League. Injuries and holidays meant we had only 14 players and none of which was our goalie, which meant from the first whistle we were on under pressure.
Killucan started strong and were fluent in their passes and accurate between the posts, however when our girls got going the sides evened up and we went in at half time only 2 points down. In the second half the Ballycomoyle girls started the strongest however Killucan brought on fresh legs and with no subs of our own the girls ran out of steam. The final score Ballycomoyle 3-03 Killucan 4-13.
We are very proud of this amazing bunch of girls who after defeat can still laugh and smile and offer great encouragement to one another.
Special thanks to the 5 girls who took on the role of goalie throughout the match and each one of them had amazing saves.
Many thanks to all the, Mams and Dad's, and Nans and Grandads, and all the supporters who came out to support the girls. Many thanks to Killucan for a very Sporting game.
Up next is an away game to St Mary's Thursday 13th June.

St Michaels recorded their 6th win of the League on Wednesday evening last 29/5/24 in Castletown Finea pitch against neighbours Multyfarnham.
Michaels displayed excellent point taking in the first half to lead at the break with Multyfarnham staying in touch with well taken goals.
A strong Multyfarnham comeback was on the cards before two green flags were raised to ease the home nerves.
Congratulations to the St. Michaels lads on a fantastic win.
Ballycomoyle Ladies.
Our Ballycomoyle under 14 girls travelled the long distance to Castledaly Gaa to face Cill Oige in the U14 League, our squad was diminished due to injury and school tours and end of school activities so we enlisted the help of some of our U12 colleagues,
Cill Oige got off to the better start and went 2 goals and 4 points up in the first 15 mins, however our girls showed great strength and determination and kept battling hard. We went in at the break on a score line 4 10 to 2 1.
More injuries meant we had to bring in our super subs and they didn't disappoint, when the 2nd half started our girls were on top and kept the ball in the Cill Oige half, we sent over wide balls and were very unlucky now to have another 2 goals in the net in the first 10 mins of 2nd half.
Cill oige pressed on and found the net twice more. The Ballycomoyle girls never gave up and as the game went on we got stronger and stronger We just ran out of time.
It just wasn't our night.
Thank you to this amazing bunch of girls who play with great heart and good humour, to the parents for travelling and who are always there supporting these girls.
Final score 6.16 to 3.06
Thank you to Cill Oige for great match.
Westmeath Ladies Gaa launched their adult championships on Wednesday night last 22/5/24. Shannon Farrelly was present to represent our junior ladies team.

their help and time very much appreciated.
To the girls Management team well done over the past few years you have brought the girls to a different height winning the division 2 title last year and playing out of Division 1 this year. Well done to all involved.

Under 16 LGFA League Div 3. Round 1 Result.
Athlone 3-09 Ballycomoyle 7-05
Our U16 ladies kicked off their 2024 league campaign away to Athlone on Tuesday evening last. In what's always a tough fixture, the game started with athlone the dominant team, scoring 4 unanswered points in the first 10 mins. Ballycomoyle finally got to grips with the opposition scoring some lovely points, Athlone hit back with a very lucky goal, a great save from our keeper, and a rebound off the Athlone forward ended in a goal. But Ballycomoyle didn't lie down and hit back with a goal of their own. As ref blew for half time, the score line read Athlone 2-04 Ballycomoyle 1-02.
A few half time tactical changes from the Ballycomoyle management team at the interval saw a very different team in the second half. Athlone couldn't get a handle on the game and for 10 mins were pinned in their own half conceding three fantastic taken goals by our girls and even a missed penalty in that time. Saw the Full Time Score Athlone 3-09
Ballycomoyle 7-05.
A fantastic game to watch for the spectators in attendance.
Next up for Ballycomoyle, another tricky away fixture to St Joseph's next Tuesday evening 30/4/24
This was a fantastic game of football showing that Ballycomoyle can compete with the very best out there. The management team have to be congratulated on the tactical way they had the girls fired up for the second
half well done to everyone .
Thanks to Athlone for a very sporting game of football.

Under 14.
Division 2.
Result.
After a late start the match got underway with the visitors taking the lead to go 1-1 up 15 minutes in, they pushed over another 2 points to give themselves a comfortable lead, the Ballycomoyle keeper was busy and pulled off 2 wonderful saves to keep us in the game, at half time we were trailing by 6 points on a score line of 1 -1 to 2-4.
After a wonderful team talk by management and the girls themselves changes were made and the girls got down to business straight away pushing over 2 wonderful points and they found the net which brought them right back into contention and half way through the second half we were trailing by a point.
The girls didn't stop there, the Caulry defence had a difficult task and one by one the goals came.
Every girl played a huge role and when the whistle blew Ballycomoyle were clear winners on a score line of 6-8 to 2-7.
Thanks to Caulry for a very sporting match and some great football, to referee Barry Nea, and to all the supporters for all the encouragement.
Congratulations to all the Girls.

Under 12 Boys. Report.
We had our third game of the season on Friday evening last 26/4/24 at home in Ballycomoyle against Lillyput Gaels. It was an intriguing and exciting game of football and a very close encounter throughout. Even after a tough first half our boys never gave up and had a huge comeback to score the winning point in the last kick of the game.
Thanks to all the lads for their great work and commitment. Again, to their parents for bringing them.
We look forward to Sunday where we take on St. Lomans in Ballycomoyle. Please check our under fixtures on social media. Also our fixtures for the coming week will be on Westmeath Examiner and the Midland topic under Ballycomoyle GAA Notes..

Scór Baile Uí Chumaoil!
Our Senior Scór journey came to an end, unfortunately, on Sunday afternoon last 21/4/24 in The Downs at Leinster Final stage.
On the day Baile Uí Chumaoil was represented by Cliodhna Daly in the Solo Singing competition. Cliodhna sang beautifully, accompanied by Zara Geraghty on guitar, and she should be very proud of her performance. When the results were announced it was the Dublin singer who got the adjudicators nod in what was a very closely contested competition.
Our Nuachleas team of Lorna McCormack, Lorraine Ledwith, Alison Keogh, Helen Coyle, Aidan Keogh, Willie Hilliard, Piaras Walsh and Sean Daly gave their best performance to date of their act but were defeated by Carnew, Co Wicklow, who are going for their 3rd All Ireland title in a row.
Well done to all our competitors who represented the club so well both on Sunday and in the earlier rounds of this year's competition.

Scór Sinsir.
What a fantastic night for our club on Saturday night last 23/3/24.
Bringing home 3 County titles.
Successful night for Ballycomoyle at Westmeath Scór Sinsir Final.
The Westmeath Final of Scór Sinsir 2024 was held in The Downs GAA Centre on Saturday last, March 23rd. Ballycomoyle was very well represented with competitors in Tráth na gCeist/Question Time, Amhránaíocht Aonair/Solo Singing, Bailéad Ghrúpa/Ballad Group, Nuachleas/Novelty Act and Rince Seit/Set Dancing.
The first competition of the evening was the Tráth na gCeist and Ballycomoyle Gaa Club were represented by Seamus MacDermott, Peter McKenna, Dermot McKenna and Piaras Walsh. There were 8 teams in this competition, with 3 qualifying for the individual stage of the quiz. The Ballycomoyle team finished a very respectable 4th behind The Downs, St. Joseph’s and Mullingar Shamrocks, who ran out winners in the end.
The first Ballycomoyle representatives to take to the stage were our club president Larry Masterson, representing Ballycomoyle GAA club and Cliodhna Daly, representing Ballycomoyle Ladies, in the Amhránaíocht Aonair. There were 7 competitors in total in this category and when the results were announced at the end of the night Cliodhna was announced as the new county champion. She was accompanied by Zara Geraghty on guitar for her performance of Passage West. Well done to Larry, who represented the club with pride in this competition.
Zara and Cliodhna were joined by their siblings Roan Geraghty and Bláthnaid Daly, along with Naomi Fitzpatrick in a bid to retain their Ballad Group title, which the girls won with Aoibhínn Dolan in 2023. They met stiff opposition from Moate All Whites and Ballinagore in this discipline, but the judges gave the nod to the group, representing Ballycomoyle Ladies, and another county title came their way.
The next discipline was the Nuachleas and there were 5 Acts in this competition. Ballycomoyle GAA club were 4th on stage with their Act “The Real Story of the Children of Lir”. When the results were announced at the end of the night this group were also crowned county winners. The members of the group are Lorna McCormack, Lorraine Ledwith, Helen Coyle, Alison Keogh, Piaras Walsh, Willie Hilliard, Aidan Keogh and Sean Daly.
The final competition of the night was the Rince Seit and the standard was exceptionally high with three groups taking part, each of which has won county titles in the past. First on stage were The Downs, followed by the Ballycomoyle Dancers with St. Joseph’s finishing the line-up. When the results were announced it was St. Joseph’s who were crowned county champions, but the Ballycomoyle Dancers can be very proud of their performance in, what has to have been, a very close competition. Representing Ballycomoyle were Saoirse Fitzpatrick, Caoimhe McCabe, Leah Brady, Ella Connell, Elisha Gavigan, Elisha Kennedy, Shauna Cribbon and Ciara Smith.
Congratulations to all those who represented Ballycomoyle so well on Saturday night and special congratulations to our county champions. The county winners go forward to represent Westmeath in the Leinster Semi-Final, which will be held in Birr, Co Offaly, on Sunday April 7th at 3pm. Go n-éirí an t-ádh libh ar fad.

🌟 The Bo-Jackson cup: A unique sporting tribute in memory of our dear friend Robbie Cooney 🌟
Ballycomoyle Gaa club and Mullingar Rugby club came together today to honour the memory our dear friend Robbie Cooney on Saturday last 30/12/23.
In what turned out to be a terrible morning with rain turned out to be a beautiful afternoon for the match. The Ballycomoyle team managed by a great Meath man Rory's stories.
The Mullingar Rugby + football team managed by the great Westmeath hero Alan Buddha Mangan.
The match was refereed by one of Ireland's great referees Barry Kelly.
The scene was set for the match to start with a Aussie rules Ball being used a mix of both codes.
What a fantastic first 20 minutes of Rugby+Gaelic football with the Ballycomoyle lads leading by a couple of points after the first half with Barry Kelly keeping the game flowing. At half time in the men's match it was the turn of the Mullingar ladies Rugby+football team and the Ballycomoyle ladies football team. What a fantastic match we were treated to. With the Ballycomoyle ladies winning their match with a Brilliant over with the last kick of the game. It was super exciting and an entertaining match to watch.
Both teams of ladies were Brilliant.
Back to the lads and away we went for the second half with again great skill. Buddha Mangan making a few moves that seem to be the making the difference. But Rory of Rory's stories had other ideas up his sleeve, as the Ballycomoyle team bench was emptied. However, Buddha's Mullingar Rugby + football team won out in the finish.
Both teams should be so proud of what you all did in memory of our dear friend Robbie.
To the supporters that came in their thousands from all over. A fantastic event and very well organised.
It was not just a game - it was our chance to honour Robbie's legacy and support mental health charities, including Pieta House. Your very kind donations will make a huge difference to these charities.
A huge thanks to everyone. Your support was very much appreciated.
Mass:
Our Annual vigil mass for all the deceaced members of our club will take place on Saturday night 13/2/2024 in St Feichin's Church Fore.
We would love to see all Ballycomoyle people attending this mass.
We send our Sincere Sympathy to the Murtagh Family, Kilpatrick, Collinstown . On the very sad passing of William (Bill) Murtagh.
May Bill's gentle soul Rest in peace. Amen.

Ladies football.
Minor football championship division 2 final.
Our minor girls made the journey to Multyfarnham GAA grounds on Sunday last 17/12 23 to take on Rochfortbridge in the minor football Division 2 championship final.
With a huge crowd in attendence. It was time for Referee Enda Kenny to start the match. It was Ballycomoyle girls that won the throw in as the Ballycomoyle girls attacked but it unfortunately came to nothing. It was ten minutes when the first score of the match came, a well worked point by the Ballycomoyle girls and it was the Ballycomoyle girls that went on the attack again in the 14 minute, a brilliant move that finished up in the back of Rochfortbridge net. At this stage it was the Ballycomoyle girls that looked as they were getting on top with another fine point from play leaving the score Ballycomoyle 1-02
Rochfortbridge 0-00.
But on 18 minutes it was the Rochfortbridge girls that put a great move together to shoot to the back of the Ballycomoyle net. But on 24 minute Referee Enda Kenny awarded a penalty to the Ballycomoyle girls in which it was dispatched to back of Rochfortbridge net, both teams were guilty of missed chances. As we were heading towards half time on 29 minutes a good point from the Bridge this turned out to be a purple patch for the bridge girls. On 31 minutes they attacked again and again well taken shot that finish up in the back of the Ballycomoyle net, but they weren't finished yet in side the same minute they got posession again this time shot over the bar for the equaliser. As referee Enda Kenny sounded the half time whistle. The Score line read Ballycomoyle 2-02. Rochfortbridge 2-02.
All Square.
During the half time break the rain arrived.
As the second half started it was the Rochfortbridge that shot over a great point to take the lead for the first time in the match but this was to prove Rochfortbridge last score of the game. It was the Ballycomoyle girls that really dominated the second half playing fantastic football without breaking down a very strong Rochfortbridge defence but the Ballycomoyle girls never gave up and on 42 minutes the Ballycomoyle girls got a point from play to level the game the Ballycomoyle girls were playing the better football and the break through came that the Ballycomoyle girls deserved on the 48 minute with a well worked move that was slotted into the back of the Rochfortbridge net. The Ballycomoyle girls really were on-top and on the 56 minute the Ballycomoyle girls were in goal mood with another fine goal and on the 60 minute a well taken point from a free was to be the last score of game. As the final whistle sounded the Ballycomoyle girls were County minor Division 2 champions.
Final score Ballycomoyle 4-04
Rochfortbridge 2-03
We would like to thank the Rochfortbridge girls for a fantastic game of football.
To Referee Enda Kenny and his umpires for a job well done.
To the Multyfarnham club for having their pitch in fantastic condition thank ye so much.
This was a fantastic game of championship football.

🎅🏼RAFFLE FOR ROBBIE☃️
Hi folks,
As youes may know,I lost a good friend of mine Robbie Cooney (Coondog) in August through suicide which came as a massive shock. I have decided to give a little back now in the lead up to the festive season, which can be difficult for so many. I am running a draw with all proceeds going to Pieta House and Westmeath First Responders. If it helps one person this Xmas, it will be worth it. A big thank you to all who have donated the great prizes and to Oisin Mc Laughlin for doing a great job putting the poster together.

The Bo-Jackson Cup: Honouring Robbie Cooney with a Unique Sporting Tribute
On the 30th of December, Mullingar Rugby Club will play host to a unique sporting event – The Bo-Jackson Cup. This special match, blending the elements of rugby and Gaelic football, is organised in memory of the late Robbie Cooney, a revered figure in both sports.
Robbie, a dedicated rugby player at Mullingar and a football enthusiast with Ballycomoyle, left a lasting legacy. In honour of his contributions and passion, his family, long-standing members of the rugby club, are instrumental in bringing this event to life. Managing the teams are Rory’s Stories for Ballycomoyle and Buddha Mangan for the Mullingar Rugby Football Club.
This event extends beyond the thrill of the game; it's a collective endeavour to support mental health charities, notably Pieta House, a cause close to Robbie's heart. His untimely passing in August has galvanised the community to raise awareness and funds for mental health initiatives.
This match is more than a competition; it's a heartfelt tribute to a beloved community member, a commitment to a vital cause, and a celebration of Robbie Cooney's enduring spirit through the sports he passionately embraced. We invite you to join us at the Mullingar Rugby Club for a day of sport, camaraderie, and remembrance.
Attendees will have the opportunity to contribute through a gate collection on the match day, with the proceeds supporting Pieta House and another charity yet to be determined. This initiative reflects the community's commitment to continuing Robbie's legacy in supporting mental health causes.
Adding to the event's prestige, the match will be officiated by the esteemed Barry Kelly, ensuring a spirited and fair competition. The day’s events will culminate in live music at the club, fostering a sense of unity and celebration in Robbie’s honour.
Finally.
Ballycomoyle GAA would like to wish all our patrons a very happy, safe and peaceful Christmas and 2024.

Ballycomoyle ladies GAA.
We welcomed GoldSmiths girls to Ballycomoyle GAA Grounds on Sunday last 10/12/23 in the semi final of the division 2 minor football championship.
Both teams were in great form coming into this Semi final especially Ballycomoyle girls.
And this was very evident from the start of this match.
The Ballycomoyle girls decided to play with the wind in the first half. And it didn't take the Ballycomoyle ladies too long to shoot over the first point after two minutes and from that to the half time whistle the Ballycomoyle girls took full control kicking fantastic scores both goals and points. As the Referee Ken Daly sounded the half time whistle.
The half time score read
Ballycomoyle 6-07
Goldsmiths girls. 0-01.
And into the second half we went. Goldsmith's went on the attack kicking over a nice point from play. But it was the Ballycomoyle girls who scored the next two scores, a goal and point to move further ahead. It was the GoldSmiths girls that went on the attack kicking over another nice point but this proved to be Goldsmith's last score of the match with the Ballycomoyle girls wrapping up the match with a further 1-1. Referee Ken Daly sounded the final whistle.
Final Score.
Ballycomoyle 8-09
GoldSmiths girls 0-03.
Congratulations to our Minor girls on reaching the Division 2 minor football championship final.And to the Ballycomoyle management team a huge congratulations a fantastic achievement. What a fantastic year for our ladies. Our junior ladies winning the junior B Football Championship and now our minor ladies reaching the Division 2 championship final.

As the half time whistle sounded the score line read Ballycomoyle 2-07
Milltown 3-02 only 2pts seperating the two teams going into the second half. Half way into the second half Milltown look as they were getting on top but this Ballycomoyle minor team never gave up and were up by 3 going into final seconds of the match but it was Milltown that had the final say with a goal .
To leave the final score

All roads lead to the INEC in Killarney next Saturday, November 18th, where our Senior Scór Ballad Group of Zara Geraghty, Naomi Fitzpatrick, Aoibhínn Dolan, Clíodhna Daly and Bláthnaid Daly will represent Ballycomoyle, Westmeath and Leinster in the All Ireland Scór Finals.
The girls have worked very hard over recent weeks and months and are over the moon to have reached the National Finals for the first time in this competition. They follow on from our Set Dancers, who proudly represented club, county and province in the 2022 finals.
We are delighted that a large number of family members and friends will be in Killarney to support the Ballad Group on the day. Everyone is very proud of what they have achieved. They will face opposition from Newport GAA Club, Tipperary, Abbeyknockmoy Hurling Club, Galway and Omagh St. Enda’s GAA, Tyrone.
On Saturday night last the Ballad Group organised a Table Quiz to help offset the cost of the weekend. The Quiz was held in the Abbey House in Fore and there was a huge attendance, with 19 Tables participating. The lounge was decorated with blue and white bunting and ‘Good Luck’ signs which certainly added to the evening. The group would like to express their gratitude to all who attended and supported the night and to Beatrice, Rosemary and Jo for looking after them so well. At halftime in the night’s proceedings the Ballad Group gave a performance of their two songs – Clay and Passage West. They got a great reception from those in attendance.
We wish Zara, Naomi, Aoibhínn, Cliodhna and Blathnaid the very best of luck in Killarney next Saturday. Go n-éirí an t-ádh libh!
Ballycomoyle Ladies football.
Minor ladies football championship Division 2 Round 6.
Our minor ladies welcome Goldsmiths Girls to Ballycomoyle on Sunday last 12/11/23.
The Ballycomoyle girls got off to a brilliant start scoring 1-01 without reply. But it didn't take long for Goldsmiths Girls to hit back with a goal of their own with both teams playing extremely well it was the Ballycomoyle girls that went at half time leading by 4 pts.
As the first half went the Ballycomoyle girls knew they were going to have a serious fight on their hands to win this match against Goldsmiths. And what a fantastic second half of ladies football we had both teams going all out for the win some of the scoring was just fantastic to see. As the referee blew for full time it was the Ballycomoyle girls that came out on top on a score line. Ballycomoyle 6-10
Goldsmiths Girls.6-08.
This was a fantastic game of championship football
from both teams.
This is a fantastic Ballycomoyle minor team. To their management team well done..

Minor ladies division 2 football championship.
Round 5
Our minor ladies took on Moate all Whites at home in the 5th round of the Division 2 Championship on Sunday last 5/11/23
On a lovely morning for football. It was Moate that started the better in the first 5 minutes of the match shooting over a great point from play but it didn't too long before the Ballycomoyle ladies took a full grip on this match kicking over some fantastic scores. At half time the Score read Ballycomoyle 2-07
Moate all Whites 1-06
As the second half started this time it was the Ballycomoyle girls who started the better getting a brilliant goal from a fantastic move that started deep in their own half. In fairness the Moate girls never gave up in the second half but it was the Ballycomoyle ladies that came out on top at the final whistle.
Final Score
Ballycomoyle.5-07
Moate all Whites 2-09.
We would like thank Moate all Whites for a very Sporting match.

Considering the journey and the fact that some lads had played games already Friday today and Thursday there was a great turn out. St Michaels started very strong, and were competitive throughout. However, the school-college games today and yesterday played their toll and lads tired. Delighted with everyone who travelled. We play Cill Oige next in our last group game TBC

Under 15 Division 2 championship shield final.
St Michaels v St Lomans.
Unfortunately, it wasn't to be our day in the Sheild final play in front of a large crowd in Delvin on Saturday last 7/10/23. It was great game to watch and very good game of football going in at half time St Michaels were trailing St. Lomans. The St Michaels lads knew they were going to have up their game if they were going to win this game but unfortunately St Lomans held onto the lead that they built up during the game. The management team should be very proud of their team. The lads secured the division 3 title and getting to the division 2 championship Sheild final. Lads keep the head's up. This is only the start of your football careers.
To the Management team they must be thanked for a very long season. I usually don't mention name's but we have thank James McHugh, we understand you are taking a break from management James and we totally understand as you have put a huge amount into underage.
Just on a final note we want to congratulate St Lomans on their win on Saturday and to Referee Declan Leach.

Junior B football championship Semi final.
Ballycomoyle v Cill Oige.
Cill Oige ladies were the visitors to Ballycomoyle Gaa Grounds on Sunday last 1/10/23 to take on the home side Ballycomoyle in the junior B Football Championship Semi final. With a huge crowd in attendance they were served up with a fantastic game of championship football. Cill Óige got the first score of the game with both teams trading scores after that until the Ballycomoyle ladies struck for goal and it was that goal that was the difference at half time Ballycomoyle 1-04 Cill Oige 0-04. The Ballycomoyle girls knew if they could keep playing the football they played in the first half against a very strong wind they were in with a fantastic chance to win this game. As the second half started again, there was nothing between the teams. Cill Oige got themselves back into the game with a goal of their own but this fantastic Ballycomoyle team wasn't going to be denied as the girls pushed on in the final 10 minutes to win out on a scoreline of Ballycomoyle 1-10 Cill Oige 1-06.
This is a fantastic achievement from our junior team to reach a County final.
This has been fantastic year so far from our junior ladies and management team.
We are now looking forward to a County Final against St Paul's/Delvin. No fixture as of yet.

Ballycomoyle Gaa fundraiser.
Ballycomoyle fundraising committee would like to thank all involved in supporting their big fundraising event which took place in May this year.
The Walkathon which took place in Fore started at 5pm on Friday 26th May and finished at 6pm on Saturday 27th May with teams walking on a relay basis over the 24 hour period around the beautiful Nancy to Nelly route in Fore. The event included a memorial hour from 10-11pm on Friday which was hugely supported as people came from far and wide to walk, reflect and remember their loved ones . A big thank you to Fr. Martin Carley who opened the memorial hour with a few words and prayers to set us on our way. The memorial hour was such a success that it has been agreed that this will become an annual event which will take place each year on the weekend of the blessing of the graves in Fore.
Drum roll please... A phenomenal 45, 698 euro was raised over the whole event. The Ballycomoyle Committee would like to say a heartfelt thank you to all who fundraised, supported and helped in any way, big or small to make this event such a massive success. Huge thanks to our Sponsors, Walkathon teams and leaders – a special mention to the late Robbie Cooney who along with Brendan Doyle and team mates headed the Pitch and Putt event on behalf of the men’s junior team which was one of the most successful fundraisers. A testament to the passion and commitment he has shown to his club, which will never be forgotten. Thanks also to the Seven wonders Bar and the Abbey House in Fore for their hospitality.
The funds raised will go towards the development of our club facilities which have already started off with the recently with a sanded pitch, new pitch mower and new flood lights which will be purchased over the coming weeks.
Again thank you one and all.

St Michaels
St Michaels U17s travelled to Milltown Monday evening last 18/9/23 to take on Milmore Gaels in the Div3 Championship Semi Final. St Michaels started the stronger and led 1.4 to no score. However, Millmore came back with nice individual play, and managed to net three times in short succession. St Michaels had plenty of goal chances too but try as we might, the gods didn't favour us, with the ball hitting the post a number of times during the game. In the end Millmore won 6.11 to 3.11. A brilliant display by St Michaels with a scoreline that would win many a game. This game wraps up St Michaels U17s for 2023 but we have to give huge credit to a fantastic panel of young men and their parents for everything they've done throughout the year to keep this team going. These players are a credit to their families and clubs. A massive thanks to the coaches and mentors throughout the year for their time and commitment with the team, Seamie, Cathal, Brian, Orla and Vinnie.
Looking forward to next season already.
St. Michael's under 15
U15s travelled to Athlone to play a quarter final in difficult conditions on Wednesday evening last 20/9/23 .The lads put in a solid performance throughout but unfortunately came out the wrong side of a 2-11 to 1-6 result. The game was in the balance until the last 10 minutes with the scores 1-8 to 1-5 with our lads competing for every ball, the massive effort put in for the previous 50 minutes began to tell and a physically stronger Athlone team took over around midfield and pulled away outscoring our lads 1-3 to 1 point. The scoreline was harsh and didn't reflect the game but the lads left a wet, windy and cold Athlone with their heads held high. All is not gone for this group of lads with a shield final v Inny Shamrocks to look forward to. No date for this yet.
St. Michaels Under 13
St Michaels v Shandonagh u13 div 2.

Under 16 football Championship semi Saturday 23/9/23.
Ballycomoyle v Shandonagh.
As I said during the week, this was going to be the match of the weekend and that's the way it turned out.
What a fantastic game of championship football from both sides. From the throw in, it was end to end football with the Ballycomoyle girls playing a fantastic brand of football and kicking fantastic scores. As the referee brought the first half to a end, It was the Ballycomoyle girls that lead by 5 pts.
But the Ballycomoyle girls knew they had to put in huge effort in the second half to hold off a very good Shandonagh side.
As the second half started, it was Shandonagh that started the better, but this Ballycomoyle team never gave up as the referee brought the match to a finish it was the Bal girls who were on the way to a County final winning on a final scoreline of Ballycomoyle 4-11(23pts) Shandonagh 5-07 (22pts). This was a fantastic game of football, all credit to both teams.
A huge congratulations to the girls on fantastic win, also to their management team.

Junior men.
Junior 1 football championship quarter final.
Ballycomoyle junior men travelled to the Downs this evening to take on Mullingar shamrocks in the junior 1 football championship quarter final.
For the Ballycomoyle lads coming into this match the lads had lost their best friend their number 5 Robbie Cooney Rip.
That panel of players made a promise to Robbie that they were going to give everything on that pitch for him.
As Robbie's number 5 jersey hung high up on dressing room wall and as the lads left the dressing all you could hear was this is for you Robbie..
Before the match started there was a minute silence for our best friend Robbie.
As the match started there was very little between the teams. After the first 15 minutes- Ballycomoyle 0-02
Shamrocks 0-02 .
In the second 15 minutes of the first half the game bust into life with Bal going into the lead a point up. Shamrocks were dealt a blow with a straight red card in the 21st minute of the first half it was Bal that pointed to go 2 pts up as we were coming to the 30th minute. Mullingar were dealt another blow when they lost their 2nd man with a second yellow and shamrocks were down to 13 but that didn't stop Mullingar shamrocks as they kicked over the final 2pts of the first half to leave the match all square at half time.
As the second half started the Ballycomoyle lads still knew they were in a match as Mullingar Shamrocks to their credit with being down to 13 players still put it right up to the Bal lads and through the whole of the second half there was nothing between the teams as the whistle went for full time.
Both teams could not be separated.
Ballycomoyle 0-11
Mullingar shamrocks 0-11.
We headed for extra time of two 10 minutes halves.
Now shamrocks were back to their 15 players as it was a new game. As you often heard it said you are better of playing 15 against 15 and that was the case for the Bal lads going in at half time in the first half of extra time- Ballycomoyle 0-14
Mullingar shamrocks 0-12.
Into the second half of extra Mullingar shamrocks went on a dangerous attack but this time the ball ended up in the back of the Ballycomoyle net to put Shamrocks up by a point. Now the Bal lads had to go for it and that they did Bal kicked over a Brilliant point to level the game. Going into the the last few minutes of the match it was the Ballycomoyle lads that went on a fantastic attack and what a roar from the crowd as the ball hit the back of the Mullingar shamrocks net. But if wasn't over yet as shamrocks came on the attack again kicking the ball over the to leave only 2 pts between the teams again. But it was the referee that had the final say calling for the ball to signal the game was all over.
Final score.
Ballycomoyle 1-15
Mullingar shamrocks 1-13.
In the mist of the celebrations there was only one name on all the lads minds. We all know that Robbie was there in spirit with the lads right through the match.
To our number 5 player and our Best Friend this is for you Robbie.
This was one great game of championship football.
When the news broke about the sad passing of Robbie it was unbelievable the way the Ballycomoyle member's, supporters, came together for Robbie. And the club would like to thank our fantastic supporters who turned up in hundreds to support the lads to victory..
