Fastnet got off to a good start bringing a good save out of James White in the first few minutes.

Ballymurn were a shade better in the first half passing well and creating a couple of good chances Snowy and Sean going close great defending by the Fasnet player to clear the ball off the line.

Ballymurn played very well in the 2nd half and opened the score from a free kick from Snowy. The 2nd came from a great cross from Adam O Brien and Snowy finished well at the back post.

The 3rd from another cross from Adam into the box and Dec Kealy rose above the keeper to score a good header. The 4th goal was a great free kick from Paul Walsh from 30 yards into the bottom corner.

Shane hit the bar with a chance and Shane Whelan was unlucky with a great header. All in all it was a great performance all round from the team. Best of luck to Fasnet for the rest of the season.

Any hopes the lads had of catching the league leaders ended today in a dissapointing 2-0 defeat away to Fethard.

They went in at half time having dominated the half and probably could have had a couple of goals to their name. A very poor start to the second half put the game to bed.

A defensive mix up allowed their forward a one on one and he duly obliged and put them one up. A few minutes later they went two up when a through ball found their forward in space and again he went through and scored.The lads huffed and puffed, without creating too much in quite windy conditions.

Their keeper made a good save from Sean Walsh right near the end.The lads now need to come back from this for the derby game against Crossabeg on Wednesday.

They also have the quarter finals of the Billy Browne to look forward to, as well as trying to seal promotion so there’s still plenty to play for.

The lads progressed to the Quarter finals of the Billy Browne cup with a 3-2 win against a good Rosslare Rangers team.

Ballymurn got off to a perfect start when Sean Walsh got the ball on the wing, went past two players before crossing beautifully for Snowy, who made a good run, to score from inside the box.

Although the lads started off well the goal seemed to breath more life into Rosslare who equalised shortly after when a cross came in from their left wing and their forward found himself unmarked and scored a very nice half volley, giving James White no chance.

Although chances were few and far between Rosslare looked the most likely to score in the first half. After the goal Ballymurn stopped playing and the game became very scrappy. The first half finished 1-1.The lads started the second half with an intensity that was missing for much of the first half. Within a couple minutes of the restart a lovely Adam O’Brien cross field pass found Snowy who ran on and cheekily lobbed their keeper to make it 2-1. A few minutes after that some more lovely play from Sean Walsh, who skipped and danced through their defense to again find Snowy who scored his hat trick with another nice finish to make it 3-1.

The lads continued to dominate the second half and could have probably got one or two more. Anyone who was there also witnessed one of the worst shots of the season.

Paul Walsh got the ball on the right hand side and just outside of the box. He decided to take a pop and hit the ball first time.It went high into the air and by all accounts ended up in Rosslare Harbour and disrupted the 12:35 docking from France. Paul blamed a bobble on the pitch, but the pitch was like a snooker table.

Rosslare caused one or two problems with their lively front two, but the lads kept them out until the final minute, when they got a corner and it hit one of our players and then they finished it from the deflection. It was just a consolation goal though as the ref blew up straight after the restart.

This was our first game in three weeks and you could probably tell, especially in the first half. Hopefully that’s the rust off us now and we can go into some important end of season games in good form.

Rosslare are a good young footballing team and we’d like to wish them all the best for the rest of the season.
