Senior Hurling
29 July 2025
Really positive result in this senior Hurling fixture with a good home win against a very competitive Kilcief team.
In a lovely evening for hurling with no wind and overcast skies there could be no better conditions for hurling and the Ballyvarley team made the most of these in the first quarter with Jonny Lennon getting 1-2 and the half back line of Ciaron Davies and the Lennon brothers of Chrissy and Niall holding the half back line. Kilcief gave a few frees away which were punished by Malone before Kilcief gradually grew into the game but the reds led at half time by six points . It was Kilcief who dominated the third quarter before Ballyvarley gradually got back on top with a Liam Conlon goal and the reds despite a late rally by Kilcief held the line well throughout to close the game out with a three point win.
This sets the reds up nicely leading into the championship season, and whilst there is still a lot to work on for the management team, this was a positive display by the reds in a great game of hurling.
