Comprehensive win for Lismore girls in County Semi Final

Lismore 4-12  De La Salle 0-07

On Saturday evening last September 23rd all roads lead to Kill GAA Grounds as the Lismore Senior team were eagerly awaiting the County Semi-Final V De La Salle. Having drawn with Cappoquin in the last round robin of the championship, the girls were to play in the semi-final to qualify them for the County Final V Gaultier set for the weekend of October 7th/8th.

Throw in for this game was set for 5.30pm and Lismore played with a very strong blustery wind in the first half. It was De La Salles Beth Carton opened the scoring in the first three minutes with a point.  It was on the 6th minute when the speedy Caithriona McGlone ran through the De La Salle defense and landed the sliotar to the back of the net.  Two minutes later Beth Carton found herself one on one with Goalkeeper Tanya Morrissey and a certain goal was deflected over the bar by the brave Lismore girl (A save that Waterfords Steven O Keeffe would be proud of). At this stage one point separated the sides but this save by Tanya seemed to be the turning point of the game for the Lismore girls and drove them on for the remaining 24 minutes of the half, with some great play form the Lismore backs feeding some well placed balls into their forward line thus setting up some very fine scores. Lismore held De La Salle scoreless to Lismores 2-6 for these 20 minutes ending the half on a score line of Lismore 3-7 De La Salle 0-2.

The second half began with the weather to turn very nasty with very heavy wind and rain making play very difficult for both teams.As in the first half it was De La Salles Beth Carton opened the scoring and indeed had three points scored before Aoife Hannon scoring Lismores first point on the 40th minute from a free. Playing conditions at this stage were very tough but both sides played with great determination. Even tho' the Lismore girls were playing against the wind they seemed to be handling the situation very well and held De La Salle on a score line of 0-5  to 1-5 in this half leaving the full time score Lismore 4-12 De La Salle 0-07.

The Lismore girls are now qualified for the Senior County Final V Gaultier, which is set for the weekend of October7th/8th at a time and venue to be confirmed. Pleease watch this space on next weeks papers and the Lismore Camogie Facebook page for updates.

Waterford Ladies All Ireland Winning Jubilee Team 1992

At a very pleasant function held in Croke Park on Sunday last, 24^th September Waterford’s All Ireland winning team of 1992 was honoured along with the runners up Laois. The members of the team who had travelled from far and wide assembled in Croke Park where they received a memento of the occasion from LGFA President Marie Hickey. The team were then introduced to the spectators who acknowledged their wonderful achievement of twenty five years ago.

In 1992 Waterford opened their championship campaign in Newmarket on Fergus against Clare with a comfortable 2-17 to 2-2 victory. This led to a Munster final against perennial rivals Kerry in Fraher Field, the 6^th consecutive final to be played by these two great rivals. Top scorer for Waterford at the time Áine Wall was faced with a major dilemma. She had her hand in plaster from an injury against Monaghan earlier in the summer and was under strict instructions not to take the plaster off. On the Thursday before the match she was dissolving the plaster in a bucket of cold water. Áine wasn’t going to let the small matter of a broken bone in her wrist prevent her from playing in a Munster final. In a very tense match Waterford came from a goal down early on to win by four points in dreadful conditions with Áine Wall justifying her actions by being Waterford’s leading scorer on the day with four points.

On Sunday the 4 October, Waterford ran on to Croke Park as warm favourites against Laois. Having defeated the O’Moore County the previous year, they fancied their chances. Waterford had the wind in the opening half. Catriona Casey opened the scoring with a point, then Bernie Ryan hit a precision 50 yard pass over the Laois full back line and Aine Wall buried the ball in the back of the net. Everything was going according to plan but Laois had other ideas and Linda Brennan goaled. Then Kathleen Murphy scored a second Laois goal and Waterford were in trouble. Noirin Walsh, Geraldine O’Ryan and Marie Crotty kicked points but Laois hung in there and left the field at half time level, 2-3 to Waterford’s 1-6 with wind advantage to come in the second half.

Waterford seemed in dire straits, Regina Byrne retired injured and was replaced by Honor Lonergan. As referee Johnny Hayes threw in the ball for the second half, the wind had got stronger. But Waterford answered the challenge with a super second half performance with the back particularly outstanding. Bernie Ryan’s long pass found Geraldine O’Ryan and a quick pass put Aine Wall in, and the Laois net bulged, a crucial goal and a mortal wound for Laois. Marie Crotty kicked 3 great points, Claire Ryan made her debut when she came on as a substitute and Aine Wall had the final say to secure a memorable 2-10 to 3-4 victory.

Waterford lined out as follows: Patricia Butler (Ballymacarbry), Regina Byrne (Ballymacarbry), Martina O’Ryan (Ballymacarbry), June Whyte (Kilrossanty), Sinead Walsh (Ballymacarbry), Ann Fitzpatrick (Ballymacarbry), Cleona Walsh (Ballymacarbry), Bernie Ryan (cap. Ballymacarbry), Noirin Walsh (0-1 Ballymacarbry), Olivia Condon (Na Deise), Geraldine O’Ryan (0-2 Ballymacarbry), Catriona Casey (0-1 Ballymacarbry), Fiona Crotty (Ballymacarbry), Aine Wall (2-2 Ballymacarbry), MarieCrotty (0-4 Ballymacarbry), Subs:Honor Lonergan(Na Déise), Claire Ryan (Ballymacarbry), Michelle Walsh(Ballymacarbry), Rose Donnelly (Dunhill), Lorena Mooney (Kill), Julie Torpey (Kill), Colette Whyte (Kilrossanty), Deirdre Wall (Ballymacarbry).

Mascots: Michelle Ryan, Louise Ryan. Manager/Coach/Trainer: Michael Ryan (Ballymacarbry) Assistant coach: Brigid Grant (Ballymacarbry)

Team captain Bernie Ryan completed a unique record, she had received the Munster senior, the All Ireland senior, the National league, the Munster and All Ireland club cups, 5 in total, the first person to do so – a remarkable achievement.

Well done to all concerned and we hope that your visit to Croke Park brought back wonderful memories of the Golden Age of Waterford Ladies Football.

My thanks to Michael Ryan in his help in compiling this piece.

Senior Camogie County Semi Final

Lismore 4-11 De La Salle 0-8

Lismore laid down a strong marker as to their intent of reclaiming the Senior championship title when they had a convincing semi-final win over a youthful De La Salle side on Saturday evening last at Kill GAA grounds.

Playing under blustery conditions in the first half De La Salle made a lively start with two well taken points by their sharp shooter Beth Carton.  Lismore won the toss at the beginning of the game and opted to play with the gale force breeze in the first half.   After withstanding some initial pressure Lismore then opened their account with some fine scores from their captain Nicola Morrrisey.  It was on the sixth minute the speedy Caitriona McGlone ran through the De la Salle defence and landed the sliotar to the back of the net.   Five minutes later Beth Carton found herself one on one with the Lismore keeper Tanya Morrissey and a certain goal was deflected over the bar. At this point only one point separated the sides.  Lismore pushed on from there on in  and  scored 2-06 without a reply with well taken goals by the ever threatening Catriona McGlone and their free taker Aoife Hannon before Shona Curran tacked on a point just before half time.   At half time the score was 3-07 to 0-02.

Heavy rain persisted throughout the second half making the conditions very difficult for both sides. The De La Salle girls now wind assisted worked hard with Carton adding four more points for her side.  Niamh Murphy also added a great score from play.  There were some great passages of play from both sides. The fourth goal for Lismore was a free which hit the cross bar and found its way to the back of the goal.  Lismore showed their experience in the second half and the more evenly balanced Lismore side held strong with Mc Glone and Hannon in fine scoring form to assure them of a place in the final against Gailltir in a fortnight’s  time.  Best for Lismore were Shauna Kiernan, Marie Russell, Shona Curran, Grainne Kennelly, Catriona Mc Glone, Nicola Morrissey and Aoife Hannon whilst for De Salle Beth Carton, Lucy Hogan and Colette Hogan most impressed.

De la Salle:  Brianna O’Regan, Lucy Hogan, Taylor Healy, Hayley Cox, Rachel Butler, Ciara Twomey, Collette Hogan, Niamh Murphy, Chloe Dempsey, Courtney Healy, Roisin Heylin, Beth Carton, Majella Tebay, Shannon Denton, Megan O’Connor.

Local Derby Ends In A Draw

The Lismore girls ended up in second place of the championship meaning that they qualify for the semi final of the competition with the winners playing last year’s Champions Gall Tir in the final.
