BKRFC U13s win Shield Semi Final
Ballina Killaloe U13s played their league semi final match against Presentation on Friday night, 15th February 2013, under flood lights at ULBohs pitch at Annacotty.
Presentation started well but we soon got into the game and some good play saw James Hanley get over for a try to give us a 5-0 lead. However Presentation came back at us and scored a try of their own which was converted to give them a 7-5 advantage.
After a delay at half time due to an injury to a Presentation player, we came out very strong at the start of the second half and after a sustained attack on the Pres line we were awarded a penalty in front of the posts which Cian O`Donnell calmly converted to give us an 8-7 lead. Pres threw everything they had at us for the rest of the game but our defence was superb and the game ended with us winning another penalty this time under our own posts. It was impossible to pick out a man of the match as every player gave it everything and it was truly a team performance.
Roll on the final

Ballina Killaloe RFC U13s will now be playing Presentation in the Shield semi final on Friday 15th February 2013, kick off at 7pm. The match will be played at UL Bohs ground in Annacotty.
We’re sure the team would appreciate as much support as possible.
Best of luck to both teams involved.
U13s v Thomond 09/12/12
On Sunday, December 9th our U13`s played Thomond in a top of the table clash of two unbeaten teams.
An early Thomond try was cancelled out by a Hugh Denning touchdown and the same player crossed again before Thomond replied just on the stroke of half time to leave us 14-12 in front at the break.
The second half was very tense and with about 5 minutes left Thomond scored again to lead 17-14, but with time almost up Hugh Denning once more got the ball in his own half and evaded all attempts to tackle him and scored his third try under the posts which we converted to leave the final score: Ballina-Killaloe 21 Thomond 17.
Man of the match for the second game running was Oisin Cooke, with hat trick try scorer Hugh Denning a close runner up. Special mention must go to Darren Bowe who converted all three tries which was the difference on the score board.
Well done to the whole squad on a magnificent effort.
Under 13s v Newport 25/11/2012
Ballina Killaloe RFC Under 13s travelled to Newport to play their fourth game of the league with their unbeaten run under threat. There was a heavy frost as the game kicked off on a very wet pitch. However that didn’t stop the lads as they scored two early tries. With our pack playing well 6 more tries followed with all 8 tries being scored by backs.
The score ended up 42-7 with George Keely and Hugh Denning scoring hat-tricks while Darren Bowe and Joseph McEvoy scored one each.
With 2 players getting hat-tricks you would think one of them would get man of the match but that honour went to our no.8, Oisin Cooke, who had a wonderful game, putting in tackle after tackle and winning balls he had no right to win. Well done Oisin and well done to the whole team on a great performance.
Under 13s v Kilrush
Our Under 13s had an impressive win over Kilrush at Clarisford on Sunday last. Kilrush led 8-5 at the interval with Adam Geraghty crossing for Ballina-Killaloe. Tries by George Kelly and a length-of-the-field effort by Hugh Denning turned the tide and Cian O’Donnell added the points. Final score: Ballina-Killaloe 17 Kilrush 13.
First U13s fixture of 2012/2013 Season

I’m sure the lads would appreciate your support.
