Our Under 16c travelled to a sun swept
Mallow last Sunday 15th of May for their Munster Final against
Kerry. Waterford got the better start
dominating play from the throw in.
Within minutes of the throw in Megan Foran scored a fantastic goal and
minutes lately registered a point, shortly after Lehane Sheehan rattled the net
with a fantastic strike. After 20mins Waterford were clearly in the driving
seat putting eight between the sides.
However Kerry made some changes bringing back two forwards to act as
sweepers and soon found their feet
scoring five points without reply forcing Waterford management to make a couple
of positional changes at half time. Half time score: Waterford 2-03 Kerry 0-06.
The Waterford girls came out all fired up dominated play in the 2nd half and
were just too strong for Kerry, so much so that Waterford management emptied
the bench giving some of the girls some valuable match time. There were some
very impressive outstanding performances. Lucy Hogan in full back commanded the
back line. Hannah Flynn was outstanding
in the centre back position. Margaret Ann Boylan dominated midfield, Ciara O
Sullivan, Caoimhe Timmons, Megan Foran,
Isabelle Wade, Ciara Behan and Georgia Harris were outstanding in the
forwards. . Well done girls on a great
win it was a fantastic team performance.
Overall there were ten clubs represented on the team.

First Club Camogie
trophy of 2016 belongs to Portlaw
Junior League
final: Portlaw 2-04 Clonea
1-02
The first camogie title of 2016 was won this
past weekend when Portlaw and Clonea played out an entertaining Junior League
final at St. Molleran's ground in Carrick. This was a great achievement for
Clonea in reaching the final in the first year the club has featured at adult
level but in a match that they were leading at halftime it was the much more
experienced Portlaw team that won the title on a score of 2-04 to 1-02.
Playing conditions were excellent with the
sun shining in Carrick and Clonea playing with the wind in the first half.
Right from the throw-in Clonea were probing the Portlaw defence and Clonea's
Katie Norris was unlucky not to open there scoring early on when her shot just
sailed wide of the upright. The Clonea team continued to pressure the Portlaw
goal and were rewarded with a goal after ten minutes when Katie Norris was at
hand to fire into the net.
Portlaw responded with some good pressure of
their own and reduced the deficit when a Ciara O'Connor free sailed over the
bar. Aided by the slight wind, Clonea continued their pressure and next to
score was Mickaela Houlihan when she pointed from play. Clonea continued
pressurising the Portlaw defence but could not convert their chances coupled
with the high workrate of the Portlaw defence and in particular Portlaw's Amy
McGrath whose performance in both halves contributed to the final result.
Clonea possession could only add one additional point to their tally when a
Ciara Dunphy free was converted to leave the halftime score at 1-02 to 0-01 in
Clonea's favour.
The second half proved to be all Portlaw's
and they reduced the deficit after five minutes when Laura Corcoran fired over
followed by another point to leave them trailing by two points. Clonea attacks
were dealt with by the Portlaw defence and mid way through the half, Portlaw
took the lead when Jade Morrissey evaded her marker and scored a goal. Portlaw
converted a further goal from Anita Power and a point from Ciara O'Connor to
have a commanding lead in the last five minutes.
Clonea continued competing but the entire
Portlaw team were working to prevent Clonea possession turning into scores.
Late on Clonea were awarded a 20 meter free and Aoife Fleming fired a powerful
shot at goal but was blocked and the follow up was saved by Louise Burns in the
Portlaw goal. Shortly after the final whistle was blown and Portlaw's captain
Sarah Fitzgerald was presented with the trophy by Ita Murphy representing
Waterford Camogie watched on by a sizeable group of Portlaw supporters.
Congratulations to both teams on their
efforts during the match and to both sets of supporters for adding atmosphere
to the game.
