The last of the under 14 finals was played on Friday night last when
Ballyduff Upper and Na Déise contested the B final. This was a great game of
football which ebbed and flowed with both sides playing excellent football and
giving total commitment. Na Déise got off to a wonderful start and rattled in a
number of early goals to leave the score at half time Na Déise 5-1, Ballyduff
Upper 2-3. Indeed the Na Déise lead could have been much more had it not
been for the bravery of Ballyduff’s goalkeeper Leah Collins who made a number
of outstanding saves in the first half.
Ballyduff urged on by their supporters took the game to Na Déise and
clawed their way back into the game but the Na Déise girls held firm to record
a very exciting victory on the final score line Na Déise 6-6 Ballyduff Upper
4-6. There were many outstanding performances from both teams with Maeve Daly,
Emily Casey, Leah Collins Erin Flynn and Ali Brackett standing out for
Balluduff while Aoife O Byrne, Catherine O Brien, Mairead O Brien, Laura Flynn,
Ava Mai Tobin and Ellen O Byrne caught the eye for Na Déise.
Well done to both teams and a sincere thank you to the Clashmore club
for the generous use of their facilities.
Munster Development Blitz
A Munster development blitz was held in Dungarvan club on Saturday
morning last. In what could only be described as a feast of football. 27 teams
and over 450 players from Waterford and Tipperary took part in under 8 and
under 10 matches. It was a great occasion with everybody getting great
enjoyment out of the day. Well done to county development officer Seán Tobin
and his team for his excellent organisation of the day’s events. A sincere
thank you to the Dungarvan club who provided the use of their facilities and
the members of the Dungarvan club for feeding the players and their
parents, refereeing the games and ensuring that everything ran like clockwork.
