Clann na nGael Notes

Ladies Senior League
Oran 1-8 Clann na nGael 0-9
Clann were defeated by last year's Intermediate champions on Saturday evening last in Athleague. The first half was very low scoring with the team's level with two points each after 25 minutes. A Blana Gately free was added to by the same girl from play before Eileen Goode came to Clann's rescue with a great dive to her right to push out a penalty. Two late first half points from Michelle Harney-Nolan and Maz Sweeney left both teams on 0-4. Oran soon went four points up on the restart with a sucker punch of a goal. Clann rallied with points from Ciara Fallon and Maz Sweeney. Oran kept their noses in front throughout the second half as Clann tried in vain to get that crucial goal. Blana Gately scored two more frees before Tracey Keegan rounded her marker to fire over a good point.
