Ballingarry first took to the field for a challenge match against a strong Boherlan side. Not long into the second half Boherlan were getting a fierce beating and could not take it, so they lunged out at a Ballingarry player. But Ballingarry were taking none of this and fought back with honour. The match was giving to Ballingarry. The stronger and better side. Ballingarrys first championship match was against a poor Killenaule side, Ballingarry won a massive 18 points. Their next match was against St. Pats and once again they were victorious with an outstanding team performance which made them win the match by a well earned 20 points. The next match was against Fethard and they were also beaten by one point but our next match was a different story. We were playing St. Marys, we happened to have an off day and were missing players so we lost by one point but it didn't matter as we were in the South semi final against St. Marys once again but this time we were victorious by 9 points. Our next one was a big one, it was the South final against Moyle Rovers who were gonig for their third in a row, but we stopped them winning by a point. It was a time of celebration in Ballingarry. It came to the county semi-final where we had to face a strong Kildangan side. We put up a good fight, trailing by one point at half time, but in the end Kildangan were victorious beating Ballingarry by one point, Ballingarry were unlucky but took it like men.

Sars 5-16 Ballingarry 0-10
Ballingarry's dreams of a county final glory ended in defeat to Thurles Sars in Semple Stadium. Despite a bright start they could not put away a highly rated Thurles side. After the first ten minutes Ballingarry was 0-04 points to 0-03. Thurles pulled away with a goal and another one before half-time which buried Ballingarry's chances of becoming county champions. Thomas Donovan, Daniel Fitzgerald and our very own Tom McGrath played their hearts for their very own village.

St. Patricks overcame Lattin-Cullen in the county final Junior 'A' quarter final on Sunday last. The final score was 3-9 to 1-9. Best for St. Pats were Sean Horan, Davy Cashin and Eoghan McCormack all of which are ex-pupils of Ballingarry. St. Pats now play Knocksagowna in two weeks. They are now one step closer to becoming Intermediate.

The first half started with Moyle Rover getting on the score sheet. Ballingarry hit back with a goal and two points in quick succession with the goal coming from Gerard Fitzgerald. At half time Moyle Rovers held a slender lead of 1.5 to Ballingarrys 1.4.

The second half started with Ballingarry registering four points without reply. Moyle Rovers opened their account in the second half after fifteen minutes to play the teams were level, but two frees from Ballingarry gave them the advantage with seconds to play. A Moyle Rovers 65 was batted over the bar when the final whistle blew. Ballingarry played well all over the field and won the vital duals. Final score, Ballingarry 1.11, Moyle Rovers 1.10
