Balla took the lead just before the break, from a peno scored by dunphy. Balla started the better and have a few chances but they
didn't take them. Springfield scored against the run of play from a corner kick. The player took it well. This chance the game around.
But balla up there game. Frank Lee scored to make it 2-1 to balla. It came for a corner dunphy to lee and head it home. Up step
dermot fitz to score the pick of the bunch. Cut in from the wing nut meg two players a long the buy line, made it look like he was
going to pull the ball back and just roll it in to the front post. Balla have an our peno but it was pull over the bar. After the match
balla had sandwiches and chicken let out in rashers and they didn't come in bad carry on. And there side line were kill each our.

Where to start with this...does this drivel mean Balla won? Can we start an appeal to help this chap to type or spell?

Ballynanty 3 - 1 Springfield.

Game of two halfs really ... I thought!. Bally had the fair share of possession during the first half but really only threatened and tested our keeper once aside from the penalty.
We could/should easily avoided conceeding the penalty, indecision between centre half & keeper in deciding who should clear the ball lead to Bally striker nipping in and attempting to round our keeper who had no choice but to bring him down to avoid a tap in. No qualms here - defo spotter!. Well taken aswell-down to keepers bottom right, he had no chance - peno was inch perfect. In 1down at half time but knew if we got one we could pip them.
Second half we owned majority of the possesesion and scored with header from corner. 1-1 back in the game!.
Not going to say we lost game cos of officials but it certainly does help when their hometown officials(cant understand why Fai didnt bring in some from say Tipp or Clare), and when u have the home team on first name terms with Referee ('Robbie this and Robbie that'') - it does help a bit.
Their tall striker scored with header from corner(see below) . . . but my opinion he shouldnt have been on the pitch. Prior to this he levelled one of our centre halfs with a blatant elbow challanging for a header. Defo a red card, but hometown ref only gave a yellow. Linesman nearest had perfect view but never spoke up!!! - perhaps it was the home support behind him he was frightened of.
Couple of mins later Bally got a corner which wasnt a corner (came back of Bally striker after our keeper block at his feet). This is where their tall striker scored. Some say it was 50/50 whether ball crossed the line but my opinion it did!.
Bally last goal could have been avoided, poor defending on the bye-line, which allowed their sub ghost into our box and finish at near post.
Bally did miss(bad miss) a spotter with 5mins to go, but game was over at this stage. Springfield had at this stage resigned themselves to the loss and also were sick to death of the tendancy of the officials to side with the home team on decisions.

Finally, best of Luck to Bally in the next round.

I think balla are a great price at 5/2 im sure a few in limerick will have a go at that price, cant see new ross getting to the semi final st micks look like they have the look of the draw this year, any prices on the athenry and pike rovers game that will be some game.

*TIP for U 'theballboy'*
Keep ur money in your pocket. Bally wont be progressing past the next round, wouldnt even back them vs Sheriff!.

Oh and the tip: - Cheltenham Wed 2.40
Mikael D'Haguenet @ 10/1.

Cheltenham Wed 2.05
So Young @ 3/1.

(perhaps an each way double!)

Lads, for all of ye wondering about the quality of Wexford junior football and in particular New Ross Celtic. The rivalry between Celtic and North End goes back years but it was lost a bit when North End were relegated a couple of years ago. They played each other last Sunday for the first time since North End cam back up and Celtic won 1-0 at North End, a great result. Celtic have won the Wexford league the last 4 years in a row but have had no form ouside of Wexford for a good few years. They were in the final of the FAI Junior in 1994 but got hammered by Clonmel Town 5-1, but they did beat Fairview in the semi that year (once the Donaghmede saga was put to bed!). They won the Leinster Junior in 1983 though. Celtic have excellent facilities and I would strongly fancy them to beat Cavan and reach the semis and then you never know! All in all Wexford football is on the up, a lot to do with Mick Wallace it has to be said, and they won the Oscar Traynor last year.
