Juvenile Notes

Camogie - U12 Championship

The U12s played two matches this week in the U12 Championship. On Thursday we travelled to Knockaderry and played a great game against very strong opposition. Scores by Kerri O Donoghue, Claire Kelly and Aine Doyle helped Monaleen to a 3-1 to 1-5 victory. This was their third straight win and secured a home semi-final against Ballyagran on Saturday. After a slow start and going a goal down, the girls put in a brave performance to get back into the game. Two goals from Claire Kelly brought the teams level as the game entered the final stages. Despite Monaleens best efforts they could not get the vital score and the game looked like it was going to extra time. Ballyagran managed a late score to win out in the end by 3-0 to 2-0 in what was a very exciting game. Congratulations to all the girls who played great camogie’ over the course of the championship

Camogie - U16 Championship

Monaleen began the 2011 campaign with a home match v Blackrock on Sunday morning. The girls began well and led throughout the first half finishing up with a 1 point lead at the break. With injuries to key players forcing changes the game slipped from Monaleen in the second half despite some great scores. The final score of Monaleen 4-4 to Blackrock 6-7 included a couple of late goals from blackrock and did not reflect the strong performance from the Monaleen girls. Scorers on the day were Caoimhe Lyons 3-1 Ciara Wiley 1-0 Niamh Doyle 0-3.
