A feast of football took place in Modeligo GAA grounds on Bank Holiday
Monday last when 12 teams partook in the Mary Walsh 7 a side tournament. Played
in beautiful sunshine and in a great spirit after four hours of football of the
highest order, there were victories for Ballymacarbry in the Senior competition
while Abbeyside and Dungarvan took the honours in the Intermediate and Junior
competitions respectively. End to end football was the order of the day while a
total of 102 goals and 202 points scored in a total of 20 games. In the senior
competition Ballymacarbry and Comeragh Rangers A saw off the challenges of
Ballyduff and Stradbally to reach the final. In this final we had some
excellent football with Ballymacarbry settling into their rhythm from the word
go and running out convincing winners in the end on a score line of
Ballymacarbry 6-14 Comeragh Rangers 1-10
In the intermediate division, three teams participated Abbeyside, St
Pats and Comeragh Rangers. Abbeyside took on St Pat’s in the final and the old
saying that goals win matches was certainly true in this case Abbeyside got
five while St Pats could only manage two to leave Abbeyside victorious on the
final score line 5-10 to 2-10.In the Junior division, competition between the
three teams involved was fierce. All the group games involving the hosts Na
Déise, Ballymacarbry and Dungarvan were well contested and in a final that was
in the melting pot up to the last five minutes Dungarvan came out on top over
Ballymacarbry on a final score line Dungarvan 6-8 Ballymacarbry 3-5.
Sincere thanks to the Walsh family for this wonderful tournament, to
Modeligo/Na Deise club for providing the use of the facilities and for ensuring
that everyone was fed and looked after. Well done to all concerned.
Under 8 Blitz
The sun shone in Dungarvan GAA field on Saturday last as the ground was
invaded by the next generation of Waterford Ladies Footballers. For two hours
it was non-stop action with over eighty young footballers from seven different
clubs playing football with a smile on their faces. The atmosphere was
brilliant and the skill level was amazing. Great credit is due to Seán Tobin
County Development officer who assembled a hard working team to help out in
preparing and serving food, looking after the children and refereeing matches.
Thanks also to the Dungarvan club for providing the use of their facilities and
a sincere thank you to the Clashmore, St Oliver’s, St Pats, Comeragh Rangers
Shamrocks, Kilrossanty Brickey Rangers and Dungarvan clubs whose under 8
players showed that the future is certainly bright for Waterford Ladies
Football.
