Bons Secours Kerry LGFA Junior A Championship Rd 2
Ballymac 1-11 Spa 1-7
Having lost the toss the senior ladies faced into a considerable breeze in the 1st half , despite Sarah Scanlon opening the scoring from a free Spa took advantage of the strong breeze to move 2 points to 1 in front . The home team created many scoring opportunities but a combination of the wind and poor finishing meant we didn’t change the scoreboard . Spa got a good goal midway through the first half , turnovers in forward positions were costing Ballymac too with 1-2 of Spa’s total of 1-4 coming from such turnovers . Ella Quirke kicked a fine score to see half time score 1-4 to 0-2 to Spa .
Some positional switches and a much improved attitude saw Ballymac girls haul back the lead with Sarah Scanlon converting from frees and play , Jamie Lee o Connor came forward to score a point , Spa did force a fine save from Robyn and Tina Quinn & Tina Donnelly O Connor entered the fray for the final 1/4 . A Rachel Creedon goal put us 1-8 to 1-5 in front , a Kate Collins fisted score and with Cora back from her travels now introduced for final 6 mins hit a good score 1-11 to 1-5 . Spa pushing everyone forward tagged 2 more scores but time ran out to see Ballymac qualify for a semi final
