The girls in action today for the U14 Ladies Football and winning The All Ireland Football blitz, beating Kerry by 4 points. The blitz was in Mullingar. Well done girls.

 This was to be an extremely tough maych for both side in this Feile Final. Ballygarvan from straight off were  under severe pressure from a strong Aghabullogue

side. The girls fiercley tried to get control of the ball but Aghabullogue proved to be the stronger side in the first half of the match. With a half-time score of 1-3 to 0-1 Aghabullogue, Ballygarvan really did look as if they were going home a disappointed team.

In the first few minutes of the 2nd half, it was really starting to become reality that Ballygarvan were going home. A score of 2-4 to 0-1 was devestating.

But a goal from Balyygarvan 7 minutes in seemed to be the wake up call for the Ballygarvan girls.The girls started to power their way through the pitch, with all th girls coming together to help each other out. The 1 sided match was changing. Fantastic scores of points and goals came from a determined Ballygarvan side. Aghabullogue suddenly had a fight on their hands and Ballygarvan were certainly going to give it everything they had. They were not going to give up. The girls played a blinder throughout the 2nd half. During it the score suddenly went up to 3-1(B) to 2-4(A). Ballygarvan were level and they were not finished. More super points, cheering from the Ballygarvan supporters along with the roaring encourgment from the coaches gave Ballygarvan a new high. They wanted to win and they were not giving up. The girls showed determination and courage and power as they pushed and powered their way right until the last blow of the whistle, where they got their last brillinat point bringing the score 4-4 (B) to 3-6(A) for a tired but delighted Ballygarvan team.
