CARRIGALINE WIN INAUGRAL PHILIP O DOHERTY TOURNAMENT
WITH A LATE SCORING BURST FROM CARRIG!

Carrigaline U16 camogie girls recorded a win over Blarney in the Philip O’Doherty Tournament Final in Carrigaline on Thursday last. Carrig opened the scoring with a point from Grainne O’Keeffe and Blarney soon equalised. Carrig had the advantage of the breeze in the first half. Blarney scored a goal in the 15th minute and followed up with a point to which Carrig replied with a Máire MacInerney point before half time to leave us a goal down at half time.
1 -2 to 0 – 2.

In the second half the game opened up more and Carrig came more into the game. Maria Moran, Deirdre O’Leary and Jennifer Foster began to stamp their authority on the game. But scores were hard to come by. Jennifer Foster converted two frees to leave the minimum between the sides with 10 minutes remaining. Then Linda Collins, now operating from full forward goaled twice in a 5 minute spell to put Carrig on their way and she added two points for good measure with time running out. Final score Carrigaline 2- 06, Blarney 1 -02.

The Under 16 B championship is coming up where we will meet the winners of Valley Rovers and Bishopstown. Training continues on Tuesdays and Thursdays for Under 16 and adult players at 7pm in Carrigaline GAA Club.
