ATHLETIC FC U-13 RESULT: Dingle Bay Rovers 0 – 2 Ballyheigue Athletic
Ballyheigue made the long trip to Dingle worthwhile but were made work
extremely hard to come away with the result they wanted. Both sides had
chances, but Ballyheigue opened the scoring just before half time when
Jordan Goggin found the net. They were fortunate to be ahead at half
time. In the 2nd half Dingle where not going to give up without a fight
and only for some excellent saves by Seamie Foran and some heroic defending
by Ballyheigue backs, they wouldn’t have got the result. Sean Sheehan
secured the victory with 5 minutes to go when he put Ballyheigue 2 nil up.
This was a great win for the team.
