Adult Championships.
With Waterford Intermediate teams break
between the Liberty Insurance All Ireland Championships league phase and
their All Ireland semi-final on August 16th against Limerick, the action has
switched to Waterford Club action.
Senior Championship
The second round of this years championship
was played this past weekend. The matches up for decision this week were
Lismore hosting St. Anne's and Gailltir hosting Butlerstown. The Lismore match
against St. Anne's was a repeat of the 2013 Senior Championship final and saw a
considerable number of Waterford's Intermediate team face each other as
opponents. St. Anne's had such Waterford players as Becky Kavanagh,
Pauline Cunningham, Claire Whyte, Mairead Murphy, Charlotte Raher, Karen
Kelly, Niamh Rockett and Sinead Cummins. Lismore have their own
Waterford players such as Shona
Curran, Nicola Morrissey, Shauna Prendergast, Shauna Kiernan and Ruth Geoghegan
on their team. Only two points separated the teams at halftime with
Lismore edging the 1-05 to 1-03 scoreline but Lismore pulled away in the
second half to be eventual winners of 2-14 to St. Anne's 1-09. Some of
Lismore scorers were Aoife Hannon (1-08), Ruth Geoghegan (1-0) and
Caithriona McGlone (0-03) while St. Anne's relied on scores from placed balls
when Karen Kelly converted seven frees.
Butlerstown conceded a walkover to Gailltir
in the other match.
The next round of the Senior championships
matches sees Lismore host Butlerstown while St. Anne's host
Gailltir and are scheduled to be played on Sunday 3rd August.
Intermediate Championship
The second round match saw Portlaw host Cappoquin and Brickey Rangers host
An Rinn. An Rinn followed up their win against newly promoted Portlaw from last
week with another win against Brickey Rangers. Cappoquin won their match
against Portlaw which means that both An Rinn and Cappoquin are joint top of
the table which means that next weeks match between Cappoquin and An Rinn will
surely decide which team will top the table and be placed straight into
the final while the loser will be destined for the semi-final play-off.
The other match sees Brickey Rangers host Portlaw and the
winner of this will also reach the semi-final play-off as third placed team.
Junior Championship
The second round of matches saw Roanmore
host Lismore and Ferrybank host Tallow. Lismore won their previous encounter
against Tallow last week and travelled to Roanmore to hopefully continue the
run. The Roanmore team had been beaten in the previous round by
Ferrybank and were hoping to get a result from the game. In a tight game were
both sides had scoring chances the result ended up a draw. The other match saw
Ferrybank continue their winning ways when they won the encounter against
Tallow. Next weeks matches sees Lismore host Ferrybank and Tallow host Roanmore
with results determining final table positions. Ferrybank are top of the table
at the present but Lismore can overtake then if they win the game . Tallow can
still make the semi-final spot at the expense of Roanmore if they win the match
so no team in this section can afford any slip-ups.
U16 Championship Round-up
Now that we have completed three rounds of the
U16 Championships the positions that teams occupy is becoming clearer.
Section A
The clash of the two top teams occurred earlier
this week when Gailltir travelled into De la Salle for the encounter. In a
match that will surely go a lot way to determining which of these two teams
that will top the table at the end of the league phase it was the city side
that prevailed in the end. Cappoquin recovered from their previous
rounds result against Gailltir to beat St. Anne's in a high scoring match
and the final match in this section saw Brickey Rangers beat Dungarvan. At this
moment it looks like De la Salle will top the group but all other teams are in
with a chance to reach the semi-final play-off. The next round of matches are
scheduled to be played on August 5th and sees Cappoquin host De la Salle,
St. Anne's host Dungarvan and Brickey Rangers host Gailltir.
Section B
Both Lismore and An Rinn sit in joint
first position at the moment as Lismore beat Clonea/Portlaw and An Rinn beat
Ferrybank. Tramore had a bye this week so they will be eager to get back to
playing and will face a test against the unbeaten An Rinn. Lismore will host Ferrybank
with Clonea/Portlaw having the bye.
Section C
The only fixture fulfilled in this section was
Modeligo against St. Mollerans. Modeligo followed up their first round win with
another win in a tight encounter against St. Mollerans to move them clear at
the top of the table with maximum points. Although suffering a defeat this
week, St. Molleran's share second spot with Tallow who had a bye this week. The
Abbeyside and Ronamore match was rescheduled. Next round match sees Abbeyside
host St. Molleran's while Tallow face Modeligo.
