Modeligo are Under 16 Div.2 County Camogie Champions.

Our U16 Camogie squad travelled to Dunhill GAA Grounds on Saturday, October 15th last to face Lismore in the "B" County Final.

This game was the third meeting of these sides in this campaign, & despite the poor weather forecasted for the day, conditions were ideal for this final.
The game itself was a very close battle between the two sides in the opening exchanges.
Lismore took an early lead before Mary Kate equalised with a free, Lismore added a second before Máiréad levelled again but a goal from Niamh put daylight between the sides before the break.

Modeligo made a couple of positional changes during the course of the game which seemed to make the difference. Mary Kate Curran switching with Angela Walsh from Centre-back to midfield suited both players as they were both dominant in their changed positions.

Máiréad O'Brien roamed out into open play from her corner forward position which meant Modeligo won the greater share of the lose ball in the middle third of the pitch & this benefited Shauna Power at full forward as the steady supply of ball led to numerous chances which yielded a total of 3-2 from play.

As the game went on, our girls gradually started to get the upper hand & goals from saw Modeligo run out convincing winners in the end.

Credit is due to Lismore as they battled to the end & were kept in contention for a long period by some fine saves by their 'keeper Kelly Ryan, while Mary O'Brien worked tirelessly at midfield.

Understandably, there were scenes of unbelievable excitement at the final whistle as a year of hard work had brought its reward.

After the game, Modeligo captain Niamh Reddy accepted the trophy on behalf of all involved from Waterford Camogie Board Chairperson, Ita Murphy.

The achievement of these girls to win the U16 "B" title this year is just outstanding & great credit is due to each one of them for their efforts as they have written another chapter in our clubs history. It also cannot go without mentioning the successful year in general that our Camogie club have had, contesting 3 county finals & winning 2, as well as participating in the Féile Competition & also fielding a Minor side for the first time, so I think it's fair to say congratulations to all involved on their success with these brilliant groups of girls.
