Edenderry........4-12

Naomh Ciaran..5-5

The year of 2017 continued to keep giving to the Edenderry ladies GAA with the under 14 team reaching the county final following a pulsating battle against current rivals Naomh Ciaran. Played in a well prepared Ballycumber pitch this game had everything you would want in a top class game played by two great evenly matched footballing teams. Backboned by 5 of the girls who only last Saturday won the under 16 county title against the same opposition Edenderry were slow to start and their opponents raced into a 5 point lead before the girls got into their stride. Goals by dynamo full forward Kellie Oglesby and a rocket by Ava Robinson left just 3 points between the teams at half time.

The girls were quick out of the traps after half time and surged ahead with another brilliant goal by Kellie and super points by midfielder Maria Doyle and Kiah Farrelly. However Naomh Ciaran were not giving up and after wonderful heroics by Sophie Leddin, including saving a penalty the opposition eventually scored a super goal to leave the sides were level with just 5 minutes left. It was from there on the Edenderry girls stepped up and points by Maria, Kellie and Katie Dunne left Edenderry ahead by 4 points at the final whistle on a scoreline of 4-12 to 5-5. The girls will now play hot favourites Shamrocks in the county final on Saturday September 30th. Well done to all the girls and management on their great victory.

Edenderry ladies have already clinched the under 12 and under 16 county titles. as well as the under 14 Feile title and the year could yet be more remarkable with the senior girls in the county final tomorrow (Saturday) and the under 14 one still to come.

Very best wishes to the senior girls and management tomorrow from all at Edenderry GAA.
