Juvenile Notes

The U16 camogie campaign continued on Sunday morning away to Patrickswell. This was a ‘must win’ game with the growing injury list increasing the challenge. Patrickswell started best and led all the way to half time when the score was 3-1 to 1-2. A point from Aine Hegarty and a goal from Niamh Doyle midway through the second half gave Monaleen the lead for the first time and the girl’s finished strongly to win by 6-5 to 5-1. Aine Hegarty with 3-2 and Caoimhe Lyons 2-2 stood out for Monaleen but there were great performances in defence from Grainne Fullen and Sinead O Brien which kept Monaleen in touch when the pressure was on.
Team: ); Laura Enright; Niamh Doyle(1-1); Grainne Fullen; Caoimhe Lyons(2-2); Shannon Suliman: Nora Farrell; Aisling Doyle(0-1); Ciara Wiley; Aine Hegarty (3-2); Shannon Power; Blaithin O Shea; Sinead O Brien; Nora Farrell; Eilleen Russell.
