Intermediate Ladies open campaign with a win

Intermediate Ladies open campaign with a win

Waterford intermediate ladies opened their Munster championship campaign with a convincing win over Limerick in Bansha on Thursday night last. This was a very important match for the team as they wished to put the heartbreak of the league final defeat behind them and were in a very determined mood to do so. In the first fifteen minutes of the game Waterford laid the foundations for their victory quickly racing into a 1-5 to 0-2 points lead courtesy of a Maria Delahunty point ,two points from Sinead Ryan, a wonderful goal from Mary Foley and a point from Elaine Power.

In the second quarter Limerick rallied and with points from Stephanie Carroll, Dympna O Brien and Claire Coughlan in quick succession cut the deficit to three points. Waterford quickly responded to this Limerick onslaught with one of their own Sinead Ryan pointed a free in the 20^th minute and was followed with well taken points from Mary Foley and Emma Murray. In the 28^th minute Maria Delahunty raised another green flag for the Waterford ladies with a piledriver to the Limerick net to leave Waterford comfortably in front 2-8 to Limerick’s 0-6.Limerick replied with a goal of their own when a mix-up in the Waterford defence led to a Brid Cahill goal before Aileen Wall had the last say for the Deise on the stroke of half time with a point to leave the score Waterford 2-9 Limerick 1-6.

Waterford opened the second half brightly with a point from Sinead Ryan in the first minute and the Ballymacarbry girl was on hand to stretch the Waterford lead to ten points with a wonderful goal two minutes later. Points from Maria Delahunty in the 5^th minute, Mary Foley in the 10^th and Sinead Ryan in the 12^th minute stretched the Waterford lead even further and put the Deise almost out of sight. Dympna O Brien replied with a point for the Treatysiders before Ballymac duo Sinead Ryan and Aileen Wall kicked on each for Waterford to leave Waterford convincingly in front by 3-15 to  1-7 with 10 minutes to go.

Limerick, refusing to give up piled on the pressure and were rewarded with a Stephanie Carroll goal in the 21^st minute followed by another green flag from Dympna O Brien one minute later. To cut the gap to eight points. Abbeyside’s Maria Delahunty steadied the ship with a point five minutes from the end with a point before Limerick star forward Dympna O Brien rattled the Deise net with a fourth Limerick goal to leave the final score Waterford 3-17 to Limerick 4-7.

Manager Pat Sullivan will be pleased in general with the performance of the team especially in the first 50 minutes but will be somewhat concerned with the concession of three goals late in the game and will be under no illusions about the amount of work required to retain the Enda Mc Donnell Memorial Cup. He will be please also that the girls have got the League final defeat out of their system and it is now onwards and upwards for the team.

Waterford continue their Munster title quest with a home game against Tipperary who gave favourites Clare a major fright in the other first round game. The game against Tipperary will take place on Saturday June 20^th at a Waterford venue before completing the round robin set of games against Clare with the top two teams qualifying for the final on July 12^th.

Waterford Under 14 ladies come up short in thriller

In a thrilling game of football played in sunny Stradbally on Sunday last, Waterford under 14 ladies narrowly failed to annex the Munster title for the fourth year in a row when they suffered a heart breaking defeat to Tipperary in Extra Time. This has been the third meeting of these two wonderful teams in the championship and each game served up a thriller. Following the drawn Munster final two weeks ago in Clonmel the two teams gave us a game to remember and the Deise ladies were in hard luck not to come up the elusive point that would have drawn the game and brought it to a second replay.

Tipperary opened in whirl wind fashion and had a goal and two points on the board before Waterford woke up and began to play the football that they are capable of. Ruth Butler got Tipp’s opening goal with a surging run through the heart of the Waterford defence and an unstoppable shot which gave Waterford goalie Megan Foran no chance. Waterford began to claw their way back into the match with a point from Sarah Lacey and two from Annie Fitzgerald left Tipperary two points ahead. Dungarvan’s Sarah Lacey turned the game on its head in the 20^th minute when a wonderful pass from Aoife Kennedy set her up to bury the ball past Tipp goalie Nicola O Dwyer. Sarah was on hand two minutes later with a speculative lob from 25 metres completely deceived the keeper and put Waterford four points ahead. Tipp  not to be outdone however replied with a second goal of their own when centre forward Eva Fennessey raised a green flag to leave the bare minimum between the teams at half time. Waterford 2-3 Tipperary 2-2.

Tipperary went into an early lead in the second half but were pulled back to parity with another Sarah Lacey point. Kelly Anne Hogan raised a huge cheer in the 40^th minute when the Ballymac girl made no mistake and rifled the ball to the net. Clodagh Carroll put four points between the teams before the Tipperary substitute Angela Mc Guigan scored a free. Keeley Corbett Barry put four between the teams once again as the clock ticked down but the game was to have yet another twist when Tipperary centre back Caitlin Kennedy got the all important goal to leave them trailing by just a point  well into injury time, in the last attack of the game Angela Mc Guigan kept her composure to slot over the equalising point to tie the game at three goals and seven points each.

In the first period of extra time exchanges were tight and tense, Annie Fitzgerald kicked two wonderful points and Kelly Anne Hogan raised the cheers on the Waterford side with a point to leave three between the teams. Eva Fennessy kicked a point for Tipp to narrow the gap at half time in extra time. In the second half of extra time Fennessy and Mary Kate Curran exchanged points to still leave two between the teams before Alice Ryan got the all important Tipp goal to edge the Premier County back in front. Keeley Corbett Barry got a point back for Waterford but the team were to come up short when the referee inexplicably blew the whistle with Waterford in the middle of a very promising attack which could have led to a deserved equaliser but it was not to be.

This team and its management deserve great credit for the effort they put in. Despite the heat and glorious sunshine not one player from either side went down with cramp and the game was played in a very sporting manner. Waterford deserved a draw but will rue the many missed chances in the opening half. Well done girls on a wonderful display of football.

Lismore claim first major piece of Silverware in 2015.

The Premium Butchers Senior League 2015

Lismore 1-10   Cappoquin 0-09

It what transpired to be a farly evenly matched affair Lismore and Cappoquin served up a very entertaining game in this local Derby played in Tallow GAA Field on Saturday night last May 16th in The Premium Butcher Senior League final. Lismore were aiming to recapture The Denny Buckley Cup after a years absence when St. Annes had claimed it from them in 2014. The Denny Buckley Cup is of great sentimental value to Lismore as the family of the late Denny Buckley had donated the senor League Cup four years ago and Dennys daughter Laura is a player on the Lismore Team.

Throw in for the game was at six o clock in Tallow GAA field and conditions were perfect for a great game of camogie. From the throw-in both teams showed steel dermination to win this match however it was Cappoquin who scored the first point courtesy of Aisling Power from a free two minutes into the game. The Lismore girls gathered momentum and two minutes later a point from Nicola Morrissey from play gave the Lismore girls confidence and in the next ten minutes three points for the black and amber side was scored from play from Laura Buckley, Aoife Hannon and Nicola Morrissey.

Caitriona McGlone who was a  threat on the Cappoquin back line and was putting the Cappoquin backs under severe pressure. A ball that was caught by youngster Emma Power which she lobbed  into the awaiting McGlone in which she made no mistake and headed straight for goal and hit the back of the Cappoquin net. Score with fifteen minutes gone was Lismore 1-4 Cappoquin 0-1. Cappoquins Lorraine Bray scored their second point of the half on the nineteenth minute but was counteracted a minute later when Aoife Hannon scored for Lismore her second point of the day. Lismore were on top and Cappoquin found it hard to contain the Lismore pressure. Aoife Hannon pointed from a free on the twenty third minute and Cappoquins Carole McCarthy pointed on the twenty fifth from a free to give Cappoquin their third point of the day. Lismore finished the half with two more points courtesy of Caithriona Mc Glone and Aoife Hannon. Half time score Lismore 1-08 Cappoquin 0-03.

The tides were to turn in the second half and if the first half belonged to Lismore, it was Cappoquin who proved to be the strongest in the second half keeping Lismore to a 0-2 score in this half.  With Caithriona McGlone being called ashore for the second half, she was replaced by Ruth Geoghegan. Cappoquins Aisling Power once again opened the half with a point from play on the tthirty third minute and duly converted a free on the thirty sixth minute.

Cappoquin were now on top and had the Lismore back line under pressure, causing them to foul the speedy Cappoquin forwards in their advancements to the Lismore goal mouth. Carole McCarthy and Aisling Power  converted 4 points between them in the next fifteen minutes. With five minutes remaining the score read Lismore 1-8 Cappoquin 0-9, things looked very dangerous for Lismore who badly needed a score, this did come on the twenty sixth minute when Ruth Geoghegan grabbed the ball in the air and put it over to put three points between the sides. Cappoquin kept putting pressure on the Lismore side, but Lismore's determination did not relent to the pressure and held Cappoquin scoreless for the remaining minutes of the game with Aoife Hannon getting the insurance point in the dying minutes leaving the score reading Lismore 1-10 Cappoquin 0-09.

Gael Linn 2015 - Munster reach final

Waterford were very well represented on the 2015 Interprovincial Junior Competition which took place today in Portlaoise, with Beth Carton, Charlotte Raher, Lorraine Bray and Valerie O Brien all part of the Munster set up.  The current Intermediate Manager, Sean Fleming, was also a part of the management team.  The team had a great win over Connacht in the semi-final with our own Beth Carton playing a pivotal role in the game.

The Final was dominated by the Down duo of Niamh Mallon and Catherine McGourty as Ulster defeated Munster in the Interprovincial junior camogie title.  Catherine McGourty was subsequently named 'Player of the Tournament'

The Ulster team beat Leinster in a cracking and tense semi-final at the Laois venue although Ulster were down a point, they scored a brace of points to steady the ship and eventually won by a margin of 4.

Having beaten Connaught by the minimum, Munster provided the opposition in the final .  With Waterford's Beth Carton in incredible form, Munster got off to the perfect start in the decider, and led by 1-3 to 0-1 after 15 minutes the impact of McGourty started to take hold and following her first goal, Ulster now only trailed by just 1-6 to 1-3 having played against a very strong wind.  The second half was all Ulster's who used the elements to their advantage and it was Niamh Mallon who inflicted the critical blows as she put point after point over the bar.  Final score was Ulster 3-15 to Munster 1-10
