U12 Division 1A Championship Semi-Final

Clann na nGael Lions 1-16 Padraig Pearses Lions 1-4

Clann qualified for their 3rd County Final in a row with a good victory over neighbours Padraig Pearses in Woodmount on Friday evening last. Clann suffered a early set back with the loss of centre-back Sarah O'Sullivan through injury and took a while to settle. Indeed they trailed by a point at half-time but turned in a tremendous second half performance scoring 1-11 and only conceding a point. When the defence settled they were excellent, while midfield worked tirelessly throughout and there was some brilliant point scoring from the forwards. They now meet a Boyle side in the final who are also undefeated in the campaign and Clann know they have plenty to do to complete the three-in -a row, but the management team of Peter Shine and Cathriona Meehan will not be resting on their laurels.

Panel: Carol Griffin, Aoife Harte, Leanne Ward, Grainne O'Neill, Renee Naughton, Sarah O'Sullivan, Orla Shine, Christine Conway 0-1, Shauna Connell, Shauna Bannon 0-1, Nicole Meehan 0-2, Therese Lennon 0-4, Caoimhe Lennon 0-5, Claire Murray 1-3, Kirsten McCormack, Sarah Ward, Sarah Connaughton, Damilola Omotosho, Valerie Dyiki, Lauren McDonnell, Lucy Dowling.

Under the watchful eyes of Niamh Fallon and Kelly Killian they will be hoping to make it a memorable day next saturday by having 2 Clann teams in the finals.
