U18B Cup Final
Clooney-Quin/Banner 3-08 v 1-04 Broadford/Parteen
Clooney-Quin/Banner dominated from start to finish in this tie. While Broadford/Parteen were first on the score board with a point it would be one of their two scores in the first half. Clooney-Quin/Banner then took control and as they set up from the back linking up the pitch Roisin Keogh had two fast early goals which gave a solid foundation and gave the girls time to settle into the game, Followed shortly after by another major from Elena Sanz. Massive work rate and hooking and blocking where they hassled and harried to torment Broadford/Parteen. Derinn Finnerty at centre forward for the winners was crucial with Sinead McGee, Ciara Halpin, Dianna Carmody, Moya Dunne and Sinead Considine and Leah Talty making a strong middle third. Broadford have posed a huge threat in front of goal through out the season but this was cut out by CLiodhna Ryan, Candice Brennan and Emma Considine in goal. Aisling McGrath created a great link in the forwards in coming to attack ball and laying off passes. Sinead Considine, Aisling McGrath, Elena Sanz and Derinn Finnerty were also on the score board. Niamh McGee and Emer Moynihan also made telling contributions when introduced.
This was a well deserved win with the girls unbeaten throughout the competition. They settled fast into the game and never let up in it.Also of note was that all scores were from play.
Sinead Considine accepted the U18B Cup on as team captain on behalf of the girls.
