Kilcummin 3-11
Ballymac 7-07
Following our win over Finuge St Senans in the County League we travelled to Kilcummin to play the local team in round 3 . Game kicked off at 5pm and we were almost at full strength . Kilcummin got the first score of the game from the throw in but following that our girls gave a display of football in the first half which was a joy to see . Running at pace , slick and accurate passing , great defending and forwards dispossessing backs . We racked up 5-5 in this half with Caroline Hurley getting our first goal , Aisling O Connell stamped her mark on the game with a wonderful solo goal and adding a great point afterwards . Ellie Sugrue and Ellie Mc Elligott added a goal each and Aine Rice got in the act adding 1-1 in this period also . Cora Savage and Emily O Donoghue got a point each and Aine added one point just before half time . Therese Keane played herself to a standstill in this first half and backs Eve , Lisa , Maeve, Caoimhe and Sinead were outstanding in this period too and Goalie Robin made 2 good saves for good measure . Half time score Ballymac 5-5 Kilcummin 0-5 .
The 2nd half saw us start without Robin and Therese due to injury , Ellie Sugrue taking over in goals and Kilcummin upped the ante scoring 1-3 without reply , however another Ellie Mc Elligott goal settled us again . Following some substitutions on both sides Kilcummin scored 2 more goals and added a few points but 2 points from Cora and Emily settled us down once more . Kilcummin pressed again towards the end but Caoimhe , Niamh and Sophie cleared their lines . A great move started by Eve Creedon via Cora and Cait saw Therese in front of the goals and she made no mistake to get goal no 7 . A great team performance overall but Eve , Aisling, Therese and Aine were the stars on the night .

CAILINI FAOI 10
The U10 girls played Keel in a challenge this morning in Keel and it was a useful workout for them . This was Keels first time fielding an all girls team so it added a bit of novelty to the occasion . Our girls had just a bit too much football for them but Keel were competitive through out . Kate Collins , Niamh Lynch , Ella Quirke, Abbey Leahy and Alexia Weiss were prominent in the first half . Ciara and Roisin led by example as always but it was the display of Orla O Connor at full back that really caught the eye . Roisin Raggett kicked a great long range point and Rachel Creedon never gave up even when conceding height and size to her marker . Well done to all the girls who travelled on the day . Back to academy training next Sunday.
CAILINI FAOI 6 and 8
