U-14 NEWS
Report by Sheila Dennehy Scanlon
Our u14’s were out today playing East Cork league final against Rockban in Caherleg. We had 19 girls on the panel today and were well up for this match today. We even had a teddy on board dressed up by Meagan Murphy to support us.
Both teams started off very well. We knew Rockban strength was through the centre so had the girls marking up very tightly on these players Rockban got the first score on the scoreboard with a pt. Our girls really settled very early in game which don’t usually happen. We came back and levelled the scoreboard with a pt from Kelly Steele. Rockban just seemed to get there scores easier and got another 3 pts from play. But our girls never gave up and from a great pass running through the centre from Amy Keohane to Kelly Steele to berry the ball in back of the net. It lifted the game for Inch and both sides kept plugging along and got some more great scores from our forwards Amy Keohane, Shannon Cremin ,Kelly Steele and another great goal from a free at the 20 taken by Rose Goggin to drop in over the goalkeeper head. To finish the first half Rockban 1-8 to Inchrvrs 2-4. We knew the second half was going to be as tough as the first half and we still had all to play for.
Second half kicked off with Rockban scoring another 2 pts early and had stepped up a gear and our girls did same to bring the score board back to a pt in difference with 10min to go. We got another few great scores from Shannon Cremin & Kelly Steele to bring the scoreboard level with 2 mins to go. It was so close with outstanding performance from both sides and the standard of football at this age level was a credit to the girls ability. We got a goal which was disallowed scored by Rose Goggin so Rockban from there went back up the field and our full back line who played outstanding right through the game tried really hard to stop them coming through but unfortunately they got the pt to win the game to bring the full time score to Rockban 2-11 to Inchrvrs 2-10.
On behalf of myself and James we couldn’t ask any more from this outstanding bunch of girls, they played there hearts out and gave it all today and we couldn’t ask anymore as there coaches then that. Where credit is due I’m so proud of ye and heartbroken for ye once again to getting so close to winning a final. But our forward Rose Goggin was nominated as player of the match from ref and was well deserved to help the heartbreak for the girls. Our Panel today : Niamh Molly, Aoife o Neill, Jane Sexton, Marica Maunsell, Caoimhe Barry, Aoife Higgins (C) Sarah Roche, Aoibhe Joyce, Kelly Steele,Shannon Cremin, Amy Keohane, Rose Goggin, Ali Martin, Joanne Keniry, Orla Cowhig, Ester Oberences, Chloe Motherway,Grainne Landers & Claire Gould.
