Waterford Come Good In Extra Time To Take Munster B Title


Waterford 0-09 Cork 0-07

Massive  Congratulations to Waterford Under 16 who beat a very strong Cork team on Sunday last in an epic battle which ended in a draw in normal time and extra time had to be played to decide the outcome.

The game was played in very tough conditions. Waterford opted to play with the twirling breeze in the first half. It was cork however who opened the scoring on the tenth minute with a pointed free. There were nerves and errors aplenty in the first half which both teams suffered from erratic shooting and missed frees.  Waterford backs were simply outstanding right throughout the first half leaving Waterford trailing by a point at half time 0-04 to 0-03

Cork came out all fired up and it took Waterford some time to settle. Alisha Flynn commanded the full back with great support from Mide Delaney and Sheena McGuickan.  Midway throughout the second half Waterford found themselves trailing by 3 points. Waterford however never gave up and fought to the bitter end.  Áine O’Neill scored a fantastic point in normal time and Aoife Fitzgerald levelling the game in injury time bringing the game to extra time.  

In extra time Waterford found a new gear and showed their superiority.  Waterford dominated the play particularly in second half of extra time. Aoife Fitzgerald was supreme on Frees. With some great passages of play from Roisin Kirwan and Aine O’Neill.  Waterford pointed twice to see them win on a score line of Waterford 0-09 and 0-07. 

Alisha Flynn was awarded player of the match.  Mide Delaney, Sheena McGuickan, Rachel Walsh, Sarah Maher and Sorcha Cantwell were all simply outstanding.  Captain Aoife Fitzgerald also deserves a special mention ending the game with a personal Tally of eight points.

Well done to all on a fantastic display.  It was hard fought victory!
