All Ireland Championship Under 16B

Waterford  1-14

Antrim   3-14

Waterford’s under 16 Camogie ladies were in action again last Sunday when they took to the field against Antrim in Clane GAA Club in the second round of the All Ireland Championship.

This was a much more physical, even encounter between two finely skilled camogie teams which was again played in blistering heat.

Waterford got off to the perfect start with a scrambled goal after 2 minutes when Natasha Dobbyn got the final touch to raise the green flag. After settling Antrim reposted with 2 points from their strong half forward line and the oppositions strong striking was real feature of their performance. On the Waterford side we made great inroads up the right hand side time after time with Rachael, Ciara and Aine to the fore and as the half wore on, scores were traded until Antrim goaled in the 22minute to take the lead for the first time.  The half concluded on a score of 1-08 to 1-04 in favour of Antrim.

The Waterford ladies ship a real hammer blow just after half time as Antrim notched the first score with a goal, but from that point forward, the game was played in the Antrim half with our team straining every ounce of their physical strength to get us back into the game.  The impressive takeaway was the volume of chances created, but on this day the sliothar would not hop to favour the effort of our team and in truth great credit must also be given to the resolute defence from Antrim.

The final score of Waterford 1-10 to Antrim 3-10 belied the close nature of the encounter and certainly gives the ladies a focus to work on this week as they prepare to take on Derry on Sunday next at  a half way venue to be confirmed.

Scorers for Waterford came from Ciara Sheahan (0-6, 3f) Natasha Dobbyn (1-0) Aine O’Neill (0-1), Dara Fitzgerald (0-2) Clodagh Hoctor (0-1)"

The team are out again next week.  Their opponents are Derry.  Waterford will be boosted by the return of a number of their squad who were missing for the Antrim game. This is a must win game for Waterford if they want to keep their All Ireland dreams alive.
