U12 Ladies Football
Sunday, September 11th .
Bride Rovers 5-6 Valley Rovers 2-13
Our U12s have a County Final to prepare for after a hard-fought, tight win over Valley Rovers at Glanmire on Sunday, September 11th. Our first half counter-attacking performance, playing against the wind, was excellent and we actually led by 7 points at the interval. Valley Rovers are dogged competitors however and fought back strongly in the second half and gradually closed the gap, drawing level with about five minutes to go. This set up a grandstand finish and the decisive score was a penalty by Grace Culloty with only minutes remaining. In hindsight, our backs limited the number of goals and clearcut goal chances that Valley Rovers got and this contributed in no small way to this semi-final win.
The County Final is provisionally set for Saturday, September 17th at Mayfield, at either 5pm or 6pm (more likely). Please come out and give the U12 girls all the support you can.
