Match Report for U-13 ‘C’ Ladies County Football Final 20/11/2017

On Monday 20^th November the U-13 ‘C’Ladies Football Co. Final was played in Leahy Park in Cashel. St. Joseph’s Girls Primary School Tipperary town contested the final against Moyne National School. At the outset, weather conditions were very challenging with persistent drizzle and wind throughout the game. This did not dampen the enthusiasm of the large group of St. Joseph’s supporters nor the commitment of both teams who produced a fine display of football.

St. Joseph’s lined out as follows; Weronika Kowalczyk, Aishling O’ Donnell, Anna O’Brien, Eva Cremins(1-1), Emer Roche (0-1)(Capt.), Orla Kissane, Ellen Corby(0-2) Subs; Eabha Byrnes, Kate Cremins, Eva Donovan, Anna English, Kayleigh McGrath and Emma O’ Connor.

St. Joseph’s got off to a promising start with a sharp point by Emer Roche but Moyne swiftly responded with a succession of scores and St. Joseph’s trailed by five points at half-time. A determined St. Joseph’s team battled very hard in the second half, and points by Ellen Corby cut into Moyne’s lead. Aisling O’ Donnell, Emer Roche and Anna O’Brien combined in defence to set up fantastic attacking passages of play which eventually resulted in a superb goal by Eva Cremins. St. Joseph’s were denied equalising chances in the final minutes of the game by an experienced Moyne side who held on to win this enthralling encounter by a margin of just one goal.

All players for St. Joseph’s can be very proud of their performance on the day and the team would like to thank Miss Tobin (Principal), Miss Dunne, Miss O’Grady, Helen Cremins and Ritchie Lohan for their involvement with the team.
