Truagh/Clonlara 3-8
Clooney Quin 0-1

Truagh/Clonlara were the stronger team in this camogie U-14 A semi-final. Playing with the aid of the strong wind in the first half, greatly helped them against Clooney-Quin.
Clooney defended well, with all backs working very hard and they could do nothing to prevent the three goals, especially the third, which was a powerful shot from Áine O’Loughlin, who had been switched by the Truagh management from full-back to the forward line. Clooney battled all the way to the end though and held Truagh to three points in the second half.

Kilkishen 7-5
Sixmilebridge 2-3
Kilkishen continued their winning form when they defeated near neighbours Sixmilebridge. Allanah Ryan was first to get on the score sheet when her 45 dropped short into the net. Sixmilebridge answered this six minutes later with a point from Megan Griffin,  which was to be cancelled shortly after with a point from Áine Lynch. Kilkishen followed this up with a goal from Niamh O’Gorman, leaving the score Kilkishen 3-2, Sixmilebridge 1-1 at the break.
Kilkishen came out strong after the break with goals from Megan Boland and Ella Donnellan.  Sixmilebridge tried to answer this but were unsuccessful when Kilkishen’s very reliable goalkeeper, Orla McInerney, cleared off the line.  Kilkishen added points from O’Gorman, Lynch and Ryan. Sixmilebridge answered with a goal and a point but had no answer to Áine Lynch’s goals, which secured a place for Kilkishen in the A final.

Feakle 2-2
Bodyke was the venue for this U-14B Cup semi-final last Wednesday. Feakle opened the scoring with a goal from Laura McGrath and Scariff-Ogonnelloe followed with goals from Aoife Power after good delivery by Amy Barrett. Great work in defence by Katie Minogue, Aoife Moloney and Holly McGee made for a tough battle. Feakle levelled matters when Evelyn Duggan’s free dropped in just behind the goal line in the 18th minute.  Scariff/Ogonnelloe had scores from Suzanne Costello (1-0), Sorcha O’Donnell (0-1) and Aoife Power (1-1) before half-time, with McGrath adding two more points for Feakle to leave the half-time score at 4-2 to 2-2 to Scariff/Ogonnelloe.  In the second half, both teams found it hard to score.

Éire Óg 5-6
Wolfe Tones 4-1
Spectators were treated to a goal fest when Éire Óg and Wolfe Tones clashed in their U-14 semi-final on Wednesday evening at Shannon camogie pitch. The visitors took full advantage of a stiff wind to build up a strong half-time lead. Éire Óg attacked with gusto from the start and were four goals up within 10 minutes, with three scores from Elizabeth Russell and one from Erin Hehir. The Ennis girls maintained dominance for the rest of the half, with Maria Redmond, Alana McInerney and Eva Whyte clearing any threat and feeding great ball into the forwards, which was duly converted into all-important points by Róisín Martin (3), Ciara Kennedy (1) and Elizabeth Russell (2) to give their side an 18-point lead at the break.
Éire Óg had a good start to the second half, when Mary Tiernan added a goal. The hosts, however, upped the ante and Kerrianne Moloney made no mistake when she breached the Éire Óg back line and got her side on the scoreboard with a cracking goal. Buoyed by this score, the Shannon side pushed on and were rewarded with three more goals and a point. The match was in the balance for the last 10 minutes but Éire Óg managed to hold on to gain their place in the final v Tulla/Bodyke on Sunday.
Éire Óg: Chloe Barry; Eva Whyte, Saoirse Warren; Lia Kelly, Maria Redmond, Amy Russell; Leanne Russell, Ciara Kennedy (0-1); Alana McInerney, Róisín Martin (0-3), Elizabeth Russell 3-2; Erin Hehir (1-0), Mary Tiernan (1-0).
