Our Lady of Lourdes Secondary School prove too strong for Saint Augustine’s in All-Ireland Final

 

There was no joy for Saint Augustine’s College in the All-Ireland Senior D College Final at the WIT Sports Campus in Carriganore on Sunday afternoon last as they had to give second best to Our Lady of Lourdes Secondary School from New Ross in what was an entertaining game despite the bitter breeze that blew throughout.

At the end of the hour, the New Ross side were worthy winners but on another day Saint Augustine’s will know that victory could well have been theirs.

The Abbeyside College side had numerous chances in this game to win the game, but a number of balls dropping short or just going wide of their intended target was to cost them.

The New Ross side were a goal up inside thirty five seconds of the game starting.

Playing out of the dressing rooms end of the ground they won a free in the middle of the field. Darcy Bolger’s attempt for a score was blocked down by Shauna McGrath in the St Augustine’s goal but it was not cleared and when the sliotar fell kindly to Oonagh Doyle and from close range she made no mistake.

Saint Augustine’s in the first half hit 1-2 over thirty minutes. Molly Curran hit all three scores from placed balls and strangely all three scores came from the ’45 metre line.

They drew level on eight minutes when Molly Curran’s dipping free caught out Elizabeth Phelan in the Wexford sides goal, and two minutes later the same player had the side in red and black shirts in front when she put over another free from the ’45 metre line.

Throughout the hour, Oonagh Doyle impressed for Our Lady’s Secondary School hitting seven points to her early goal the first of which came on the quarter of an hour mark to level matters for the second time.

Only two more scores followed in the remainder of the first half as both sides battled with the bitterly cold conditions.

Molly Curran again put over a point for Saint Augustine’s on eighteen minutes this time from a ’45 but four minutes later that score was cancelled out when Oonagh Doyle converted a free.

St. Augustine’s began the second half with a point from the impressive Kaiesha Tobin four minutes after the restart but despite the best efforts of the Abbeyside college side, it was to prove to be their last of the game.

Oonagh Doyle levelled matters for the fourth time on thirty nines minutes when she pointed from play and when she put over a ’45 three quarters of the way through the game it gave her side a lead that they never lost.

In the final ten minutes of the game it was the Wexford side that were the team that was well on top and were constantly putting the St Augustine’s College defence under pressure.

Oonagh Doyle added two more points before Annie Kirwan tapped in for a second goal for the New Ross College side on fifty four minutes to give her side a double score 2-6 to 1-3 advantage on the score board.

The New Ross College side on the hour mark added one final point again from the impressive Oonagh Doyle a player that we could well be hearing a lot more about in the years ahead.

For Saint Augustine’s College on the day they were best served by Megan Dunford at centre back while Molly Curran and Kaiesha Tobin at Centre and Full Forward also impressed while for the winners apart from the excellent Oonagh Doyle, Aimee Hanrahan in the middle of the field impressed.
