(The Premium Butchers Senior League)
Lismore 1-10 Cappoquin 0-09
Lismore and Cappoquin served
up a very entertaining game in local Derby as both sides played in
Tallow GAA Field on Saturday night last May 16th in The Premium
Butcher Senior League final. Lismore who were all out to recapture
The Denny Buckley Cup after a years absence as St. Annes had claimed
it from them in 2014. The Denny Buckley Cup is of great sentimental value
toLismore 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
perfect for a great game of camogie.From the throw-in both teams were
determined to get the first score of the game and 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

point of the day. Lismore finished the half with two more points
courtesy of Caithriona McGlone and Aoife Hannon. Half

the Lismore goal mouth. Carole McCarthy and Aisling Power

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.
