Sixmilebridge on top in U-14 championship

Sixmilebridge         5-7         Inagh-Kilnamona     0-2
Although Inagh-Kilnamona goalie Michelle Mescall made two great saves in the first 10 minutes and despite some great play from the Inagh-Kilnamona half-backline of Cathy Cullinan, Sinéad Power and Ciara Hehir, the ’Bridge were well on top in the opening 15 minutes, during which they scored 3-2.

For the remainder of the opening half, both sides were evenly matched with some great play but Inagh-Kilnamona were guilty of some missed opportunities. The half-time score was 4-2 to 0-1. However, despite what the score line suggests, the second half was a closer affair, with Inagh-Kilnamona playing with determination and a huge work rate shown by all throughout the field.

Feakle     4-11       Kilmaley     4-2
The young girls from Feakle and Kilmaley served up a great display of skill and determination in their match.
Feakle’s Evelyn Duggan opened the scoring with a point, before Kilmaley responded with their opening score, a goal from Megan White. Feakle responded with a goal before the break from Laura McGrath, leaving the score at half-time, Feakle 1-3, Kilmaley 1-0.

The second half was mainly dominated by Feakle, with them putting a further 3-8 on the score board to Kilmaley’s 3-2, the scores from Kilmaley coming from Caoimhe Carmody (2-2) and Catriona Callinan (1-0).

Feakle would have been further ahead only for some outstanding goal keeping by Chloe Neylon. Kilmaley did pile on the pressure in the final minutes and were unlucky not to have added to their tally of goals but for some great goalkeeping from Róisín Quilligan, combined with strong defensive work from Eileen Daly and Stacey Loughnane.

Impressive for Kilmaley were Chloe Neylon, Sinéad Rooney, Laoise Hurley, Caoimhe Carmody, Megan White and Caroline Casey.
