Under 12’s

Our under 12’s played Clerihan in the Community Games competition on Sunday the 21st of April. The first half was a low scoring affair for the St. Patrick’s girls who notched up two points by Eabha Fitzgerald and Eimear Boland, our backs were under a lot of pressure for periods during the first half and conceded 3 goals. The St. Patrick’s girls then took the game to Clerihan in what turned out to be a very exciting second half, where a total of 3.3 was scored by the St. Patrick’s girls. However a win was not to be on the evening, as Clerihan scored a further 4 goals throughout the second half. Final score: St. Patrick’s 3.5 to Clerihan 7.0. Team lineout: Dearbhla Morrissey, Ines Noonan, Andrea Brett, Robyn Horan, Eabha Hogan, Sarah Cranitch, Aishing Boland, Ciara Butler (2.0) & Aine Ryan (1.1), Erin O’Brien, Eimear Boland (0.3), Aoibheann McGrath, Ava Heffernan, Eabha Fitzgerald (0.1), Jessica Strappe, Kelly Burgess, Laura Hayes and Katie McCormack.

The Junior ladies team played Boherlahan B in their opening league game on Friday the 19th of April in Boherlahan, where the home team came away with the win.

The second round league game was played on Sunday past away against Latten Cullen. The Patrick’s Ladies led the whole way through the first half aided by the wind and after 30 minutes led 1.6 to 1.1. However this lead was dismantled by a second goal and a flurry of unanswered points from the Latten Cullen girls within the first 10 minutes of the second half. The game then settled, however the St. Patrick’s girls did not get another score until the 22nd minute of the second half which was a well taken effort by wing back Rebecca Hayden. St. Patrick’s then managed to notch up a further three points before the end whistle and were unlucky not to get a goal minutes from the end, however they where unable to close the gap which left the final score: St. Patrick’s 1.10 to Latten Cullen 2.9. Team lineout: Imelda O’Donovan, Aileen Sugrue, Maeve Browne, Claire Cosgrove, Denise Noonan, Roisin Horan (capt), Rebecca Hayden (0.1), Aileen Kelly & Eidin Murphy, Aine O’Donovan, Siobhan Dunne (0.2), Deirdre O’Donovan (0.1), Helen Hogan (0.2), Orla Meagher (1.2) and Siobhan Vaughan (0.2). Subs all used: Niamh Morrissey and Niamh Fitzgerald.
