Match Report
In what was a clash of the Division 6 Corrib Oil League Champions Ballymacelligott versus Division 4 Champions Laune Rangers in Killorglin was going to be a tough task for our very young side.
The first half was very nip and tuck with the lead switching back and forth, Laune Rangers raced into a 1-1 to no score lead , but then our Ladies really started to play lovely football with plenty of support running, leading to a goal from Rachel Griffin and a point from a free by Sarah Scanlon. Approaching halftime, we were heading by 2 points, but still only producing our fluid play in patches when we got hit for 1-2 in quick succession, leaving us down by a goal at halftime 2-5 to 1-5.
The second half, more especially the third quarter belonged to a fast moving, support running Ballymac Ladies, as they turned the screw, with our defence leading the way, it took Laune Rangers 23 minutes to open their second half account, at which stage the game was gone beyond them. Sarah Scanlon with our second goal and 6 points from a mix of players, leaving us 6 points clear with 7 minutes to go. Laune Rangers did make it tight, bringing it back to a three-point game, but great defensive work kept it at that.
Final Score 2-11 Ballymacelligott 2-8 Laune Rangers.
Squad on the Day was,
Robyn White, Laura Kelly, Grainne Galvin, Ciara Kerins, Jaime Lee O’Connor, Una Morrissey, Anna Collins, Aisling O’Connell, Roisin Rahilly (0-2), Ellie McElliogott, Sarah Scanlon (1-4), Keelin Enright, Kate Collins(0-4), Rachel Griffin(1-1), Ella Quirke, Rachel Creedon, Emily O’Brien, Emma Daly, Kerry Hennessy, Caoimhe Carroll, Eve Creedon, Clare Kenny, Aoife Galvin, Emma Leen, Aoibhinn Broderick, Kate O’Connor, Lisa Curran, Tina Quinn.
