Ladies Intermediate Championship
Clann na nGael 3-8 Kilbride 0-12
Clann na nGael Ladies played their second round of the Intermediate championship in wind and rain in Johnstown on Tuesday last against a strong and skilful Kilbride side. Clann played into the stiff breeze in the first half and Kilbride got the better start. Kilbride were three points up after 13 minutes when Michelle Harney-Nolan registered Clann’s first point. The scores were hard to come by however and despite hitting ten wides and dropping more shots into the Kilbride keeper, they failed to score for the remainder of the first half. They went in trailing Kilbride by six points to one at half time.
In the second half, Clann were more composed up front and Blána Gately scored the first point. Kilbride replied with a good point but Clann began to dig deep. Ruth Finlass and Aisling Lennon kicked over two points before Martina O’Brien levelled the game with a well taken goal on nine minutes. Kilbride were not going to go down easy however and four unanswered points restored their lead. Blána pointed a free and Kilbride replied with long range point. Four points between them and ten minutes remaining. Then Blána and Martina scored two goals to give Clann a two point lead. Blána and Ruth Finlass scored two more points and Kilbride came pushing for a goal. Kelly Killian rounded off the evening with a point with the last kick of the game. Final score Clann 3-8 Kilbride 0-12.
This was a great performance. Kilbride were a good team and will no doubt be there again at the closing stages of the championship. Clann now play Roscommon Gaels in the next round next Tuesday in Johnstown.
