Waterford Minor’s Suffer Loss to Offaly on St. Patricks Day

Offaly 2-5 Waterford 1-6

Following on from the opening day victory over Limerick, Waterford welcomed Offaly to WIT’s Carriganore Campus on a bitterly cold St. Patricks Day.

Waterford Lined out with one change from the team that beat Limerick with Leah Sheridan replacing the sick Isabella Markewicz at corner back.

Similar to the opening exchanges vs Limerick, Waterford again started off brightly within the opening 10 minutes. That dominance allowed Waterford to create several goal scoring opportunities, however failing to convert those chances.

Kaeisha Tobin opened the scoring in the game with a pointed free.  After that scores came at a premium for both sides with large portions of the game being fought in the middle third.  Offaly however, once they began to get a rhythm going, they crucially got the opening goal of the game against the run of play.  This left Offaly with the momentum and not long after that Offaly struck again for a second goal.  Kaeisha Tobin once again stepped up to pop over a second point from a free with the teams going in at half time Waterford 0-02 Offaly 2-02.

In the second half Waterford came out fighting with the introduction of Clodagh Carroll giving the team fresh impetus and energy in midfield. Waterford registered two quick fire points to narrow the deficit to four points.  Offaly hit back to register a point of their own.  After that Waterford kept the Offaly attack at bay while at the other end they scored 1-2 themselves without reply to bring the game to a draw entering the latter stages.  The goal coming from a free with Annie Fitzgerald getting a touch on it to put it goal bound.  In what was a competitive game throughout and very physical, Waterford suffered an injury with Sally Kelly being required to be taken off with what looked like a serious facial injury.

With time ticking down and the teams fighting to see who could get their noses in front once more, Offaly found that that extra yard to tag on two more scores to take the win on a score line of 2-5 to 1-6.

Up next for Waterford is a home game against Tipperary on March 24^th (Venue TBC), with Waterford hopeful of bouncing back after this weekend’s setback.
