MURNAGHAN POINTS THE WAY

/in
Donaghmoyne 1- 8 St. Ergnats, Moneyglass1-3
Five points from corner forward Cathriona Murnaghan and a player of the match performance from Rosie Courtney helped Donaghmoyne to their fifteenth Ulster AIB Senior Club title against a tough Moneyglass side.
The Monaghan champions were dealt a severe blow in the 8th minute when Amy Garland was retired with a serious knee injury. The first score of the game didn’t arrive until the 16th minute, a goal from the lively Leah Stewart. Cliona Griffin had done all the hard work, driving up the right wing and when she was challenged by the Donaghmoyne defence she slipped the ball low into space and Steward side footed it to the bottom corner.
In the 21st minute Moneyglass had Sarah O’Neill sin binned and from then until the half time whistle Donaghmoyne dominated. Murnaghan and Maria O’Neill traded points before the Farney champions hit 1-3 without reply, the goal an unstoppable shot from Rosie Courtney. Half time, Donaghmoyne 1-4 Moneyglass 1-1.
With the first attack of the second half Moneyglass should have goaled however Laura McCann sliced her effort wide. Lauren Garland extended Donaghmoyne’s lead with a nice point, but it was quickly cancelled with a Ruby McErlain over. Sharon Courtney then seen yellow (35th minute) and while off the field Moneyglass failed to capitalise and instead Cathriona Murnaghan fired over a couple of frees. Donaghmoyne were reduced to thirteen in the 43rd minute when Maeve Smyth seen red.
In the final quarter Prenter and Garland exchanged points and with time running out Moneyglass were thrown a lifeline. After consulting his umpires, the referee awarded St. Ergnats a penalty however Orlaith Prenter hit the shot low and wide of the post. When the final whistle went the Fontenoy’s had won by two.
Speaking after the game manager Ann Marie Burns couldn’t hold the tears back as she said, “I am so proud of the young girls, the older girls and the community. You are not entitled to win anything, you must work hard for it and this year we did and we have got out rewards”.

MAGIC MURRAY SEALS VICTORY

/in
Naomh Columba 2-10 Truagh 3-12
They say goals win matches and two from Truagh’s Amy Murray proved vital as the Monaghan champions claimed the Ulster intermediate title at the expense of Naomh Columba.
Truagh raced into a two-point lead courtesy of the boot of Morgan McKenna however Naomh Columba’s Amy Boyle levelled matters with two frees. Caoimhe Moran and Emma Cunningham then traded points before Boyle’s third score of the game gave her side a single-point lead after the first quarter.
Murray then restored Traugh’s lead when she found the net in the 21st minute. Lara Boyle cut the deficit to two points when she pointed however Truagh then hit 1-2 on the bounce, the goal a second from Murray on 28 minutes. Niamh Boyle and Alana Boyle then pointed from the Glenclomcille girls, but it was Amy Murray who hit the last score of the half to Truagh a half time lead, 2-6 to 0-7.
Morgan Mc Kenna who was to finish with 1-7 opened the second half scoring. Kate Byrne quickly canceled the score with a nice point and then Naomh Columba were awarded a penalty which Emma Cunningham scored. Morgan Mc Kenna and Niamh Boyle exchanged score before Mc Kenna found the net for her sides third goal.
In fairness to Naomh Columba they didn’t lie down and Emma Cunningham found the net with their next attack. With 21minutes gone in the second half, Laoise Mc Ginley seen red and from here on Naomh Columba lost their way. Mc Kenna finished with another three points to help her side to a five point win.

O’NEILL KICKS SPERRIN OG TO AIB TITLE

/in
Ederney 1-5 Sperrin Og 0-10
Seven points from player of the match Niamh O Neill helped Sperrin Og to the AIB Ulster Junior title at Dunmoyle earlier today. It took the centre forward just 13 seconds to send over her first score. Another point followed from captain Leah Mc Guigan before O’Neill fired over a two pointer in the 15th minute.
Ederney’s first score didn’t arrive until the 22nd minute in when captain Dearbhaile Mc Menamin pointed a free. Sperrin Og finished the half strongest with O’Neill adding two more scores to leave the midway score 0-6 to 0-1 in favour of the Greencastle ladies.
Tia Mc Farland scored the first point of the second half to cut the deficit to four however O ‘Neill quickly cancelled with another fine score and Aileen Doddy extended the lead with her sides eighth point.
Ederney were then reduced to fourteen when McFarland was binned. Mc Menamin and O’Neill then traded scores before the Fermanagh champions were given a lifeline with ten minutes left. After consulting his umpires, the referee awarded Ederney a penalty and captain Dearbhaile Mc Menamin made no mistake, burying the ball past Caoimhe Warnock.
O Neill’s last score left four between the sides, but Ederney finished strong. Points followed from Katie Teague and Mc Menamin however it was too little too late and Sperrin Og were crowned Ulster Junior champions for the second time in their history.
Fifteen years ago, Maureen Kelly missed the Ulster final due to injury, but after ten years in Australia and four kids, her cousin Sean Teague talked her back to play and she was rewarded with being on the pitch as Sperrin Og claimed the title.
