Friday 18th March saw the start of the U-16 Ladies Football season. In their first match of the year away in Gurteen against Doora-Barefield, a almost full squad was available to play. Playing with the wind in the first half, with most of the play in the Clooney half, Clooney played well against Doora/Barefield and at half time the score was 6 points to 2 points. Several more scores went amiss of the target for Clooney during this first half as they settled into their stride.
At the beginning of the second half and as anticipated, Doora/Barefield came back very strong, and it was then that Clooney played even better. After Doora Barefield scored two goals in quick succession, Clooney came back very strong with a point and a goal from Aisling Corbett and a goal from Maria Hehir. The end score was Clooney/Quin 2-9 to Doora/Barefield 3-3. Michelle Canny had a good game in goals in the first half and Siobhan McCarthy took her place there in the second half with Michelle going into the forwards.
Team: Michelle Canny (captain), Cathy Halpin, Colette Purcell, Hannah O'Brien, Gemma McEvoy, Kate McCarthy, Jennifer Costelloe, Aisling Corbett, Maria Hehir, Laura Costelloe, Mary Kate Moloney, Nicole O'Riordan, Lena O'Halloran, Siobhan McCarthy, Jennifer Leamy, Cora O'Grady, Jessica Leamy, Meave Clune, Niamh O'Donnell, Aoibheann Duggan, Aine Nash, Alice O'Donnell.
