Edenderry 3-5 0-5 Ballinamere/Durrow

Congratulations to our U12 girls who were crowned county champions last night in Tullamore, against Ballinamere-Durrow. This was a well contested Final between two evenly matched teams. The first half scores were hard to come by with the wind slightly favouring Edenderry. The Half time score was Edenderry 0-02, Ballinamere Durrow 0-00, the two Edenderry points coming from a free for Rachael O'Leary and a superb individual long range point from Leah Farrell. The second half started with a Ballinamere Durrow point, however Alannah Burke rattled the back of the net with a thunderbolt of a shot for Edenderry. There was just 2 points in the game with eight minutes remaining in the game with Rachel O’Leary accuracy pushed ahead Edenderry further with another pointed free. With the winning of the game in their sight Edenderry stepped up another gear with Bernadette McKeon scoring what proved to be the winning goals to see Edenderry Crowned U12 County Champions. The final score was Edenderry 03-05 Ballinamere- Durrow 0-05.

There were some superb displays on the night, Shauna Phelan hasn’t conceded a goal in the semi- final or Final…Shauna Byrne Aoife shakesphere, and Tara Tyrell never put a foot wrong all game. Aoibheann Maher, Leah Farrell and Caron Dunne defended as if their lives depended on it. In Midfield Jessie Sheridan and Mia Ryan were dominant all through. Bernadette McKeon, Rachel O’Leary and Isabell Lyons contributed on the scoreboard and work tirelessly for the team. Sophie Lowry, Allanah Burke and Abby Connelly defended from the front and contributed on the scoreboard also. Ruby foran came on a sub and her work rate was invaluable especially in the second half.

This was a great achievement by every girl on the panel and the management. We would like to thanks all our supporters who turned out in a very wet evening in Tullamore.
