Ladies Minor Championship
Athea 7.12
Granagh/ Ballingarry 7.4
Well done to our minor ladies who started off the championship with a great win over Granagh / Ballingarry early Monday morning.
Playing with the wind in the first half the girls settled well and registered 1.2 in their first few attacks. G/B fought back well and it was end to end stuff for the remainder of the half. At the break Athea led 4.9 to 1.2.
Athea continued where they finished off in the first half but G/B fought hard to get back into the game. Athea had enough to hold off a strong comeback.
This was a great team performance, their next game is next Sunday in Athea v Adare at 11 am.
Team : Geraldine Carmody, Alice O’ Sullivan, Isabelle Barrett, Emma Vaughan , Millie O’ Sullivan, Grace Hunt, Courtney Hunt, Rebecca Collins (C) Emma Scanlon, Clodagh Ahern, Maeve Murphy, Leah Wall, Brid Hunt, Molly Hunt, Lauren Quaid, Evie Doody.
