County Under 14 championship finals
A number of our under 14 finals were played on
Saturday last in Kilmacthomas GAA grounds. First up was an east west pairing
when Gaultier met Old Parish in the C final. This was Gaultier’s first county
final as they only affiliated this year for the first time and they made a
successful start to their history overcoming a game Old Parish who battled hard
to the very end. Ably led by captain Ailís Doyle, Gaultier proved on Saturday
that they are masters of the big ball as well as the sliotar and had a number
of excellent performers who will become stars in Ladies Football in the coming
years.
In the second final of the day the B plate
competition we had another West versus East when Ballyduff Upper and Roanmore
did battle in what was to be a pulsating game of football which ebbed and
flowed all through. The red and whites led by their captain and county under 14
goalkeeper Rosie Landers rocked Roanmore with two early goals in the second
half and try as they might the city girls were unable to claw back that deficit
and the Ballyduff girls ran out winners on the score line Ballyduff Upper 4-5
Roanmore 2-6
Two clubs which tasted success in the Under 16
championship finals the previous week met in the B final. This was the battle
of Ballymacarbry and Stradbally. This was a close encounter in the first half
with both teams matching each other score for score. In the second half the old
saying that goals win matches proved true as Ballymac scored three without
reply and captain Muireann Boyce was the proud recipient of the trophy which
proves that the Ballymac conveyor belt of producing fine footballers is alive
and well. Final score Ballymacarbry 4-7 Stradbally 1-5
In the final match of the day we had a cracker of a
game between two relatively new clubs who gave us some sparking football and
100% commitment and entertainment. This was the D final and near neighbours St
Olivers and Shamrocks served up a feat that was well worth waiting for. In the
end St Olivers ran out winners on the scoreline of 5-7 to Shamrocks 3-5 in a
game that had everything that is good about ladies football in it. Angela Walsh
was a proud St Oliver’s captain as she received the trophy from Elma Foley ,
County Fixtures Secretary.

On Sunday morning the finals of the Adult 11-a-side
leagues were played in the Sliabh gCua grounds in Touraneena. In excellent
conditions for football Comeragh Rangers had a narrow two points victory over
Old Parish in a game that ebbed and flowed all through with the result being in
doubt until the final whistle was blown. In the A final old rivals
Ballymacarbry and Comeragh Rangers did battle. Ballymac got on top from the
start and rattled in goals at vital times to ensure that they kept their
comfortable lead all through before running out convincing winners on the score
line Ballymacarbry 3-17 Comeragh Rangers 1-7

Intermediate Munster Championship
Waterford and near neighbours Tipperary meet
tonight (Wednesday) in the final round robin game of the Munster intermediate
championship with a place in the Munster final at stake. Both teams have had
one outing each in the championship to date with contrasting fortunes.
Waterford overcame a resolute Limerick team in the first game where it took a
late late Linda Wall goal to ensure a victory for the Deise. Tipperary had
contrasting fortunes in their game at the weekend, blitzed by a barrage of
Limerick goals early on Tipperary went down on a score line of 6-13 to 1-13.
This however is not a sign for Waterford to be complacent as games between the
two counties never have more than a couple of points between them.In this years
league it went down to the wire and Waterford were mightily relieved to come
out of the game with a narrow victory. Waterford should have too much firepower
for the Tipperary backs and should clinch a victory. Throw in in Carrick
Davin’s pitch is at 8p.m.
