GREAT COMEBACK BY THE JUNIOR B's
Carrigaline 1 – 3, Glen Rovers 1 - 3

The Carrigaline Junior B camogie team served up a stirring display at the Glen Field recently to get a share of the points in a torrid, low scoring, encounter. At half time we were 1 -2 to 0 -1 behind and had failed to make progress up front against a more Physical Glen rear division. In the second half Carrig concentrated more on ground hurling and the move of Una O’Farrell to centre forward brought us more into the game. Stephanie Hayes was creating more openings up front as well when she went to the edge of the small square. At the back Lisa O’Driscoll, Elaine Egan & Vicky O’Doherty were performing heroics. Anne Kiely brought off some great saves including one which was deflected out for a 45 which resulted in the Glen’s only second half score.

Katie O’Doherty pointed two second half frees to leave just a goal between the sides and with time running out, Una O’Farrell soloed 50 yards with the ball before striking the ball into the bottom right hand corner for a well earned draw. This was a huge team effort.

We have 3 more league games left and the top 2 will qualify for the play-offs. Training is on Tuesdays and Thursdays for Juniors, Seniors & U16’s though a number o friendly matches have also been planned. We will be playing in the “special” under 16, 12 a side championship against Barryroe, in the end of August. We are playing in the ‘12 a side’ competition because of a shortage of players at this age group. There is also a Senior B tournament planned for September.

Team: Anne Kiely, Maebh De Barra, Lisa O’Driscoll (Captain), Vicky O’Doherty, Roisin O’Herlihy, Elaine Egan, Sarah O’Keeffe, Hilary Egan, Vicky O’Grady, Katie O’Doherty (0-3F), Stephanie Hayes, Emma Gallagher, Niamh Power, Una O’Farrell (1-0), Leanne Fitzgerald.
