U11 Camogie

The U11s completed all their matches in the autumn league with a win against Adare last Sunday week and finished in first position having won 6 out of 7 matches. They continued this good form in the A-competition which took place in terrible conditions on Sunday 1st at Ballybrown GAA. In the semi-final they beat Na-Piarsaigh by 1 goal to nil, after a great solo run and score by Caoimhe Lyons. In the final they played Crecora and put in a great spirited second half but were unable to claw back the half-time lead 0-3 to no score. A late goal by Crecora sealed the win, but it was a tremendous performance and overall league campaign by the girls, the first Monaleen Camogie team to qualify for an A- division county final.

U13 Camogie

The U13s also put in a great league campaign by qualifying for the A-competition. On Sat 30th they played a strong Na-Piarsaigh side in the semi-final who put up an early 2-0 to no score lead. Monaleen fought hard to get back in contention and a great second half performance getting 1-3, however were unable to close the margin with Na Piarsaigh eventual winners 4-3 to 1-3.
