U16 Ladies semi final

Post date: May 22, 2012 10:26:42 AM

Edenderry under 16 girls played the semi final of their championship against Rhode in Rhode on Monday last May 21st. The girls had been impressive in the group stages winning all three games and they brought that form with them into this game defeating Rhode in the end by 5-12 to 1-7 with another very impressive display. As is the norm for this team Edenderry were out of the blocks early with Rebecca Gorman scoring the first point of the evening which was followed closely by 4 goals in a row, 2 coming from the scoring machine full forward Shauna Ward and one each from Claire Connolly and Jade Oglesby. However as with every Rhode team their girls were not going down without a fight and managed to keep the scoreboard ticking over with 6 points of their own and after half time Rhode showed their intentions with a quick 1-1 without reply However the Edenderry girls then knuckled down with a workmanlike performance from then until the end of the game scoring a further 1-8 to close out the game with the goal coming from Niamh O’Connor and impressive centre forward Megan Moore closing the scoring at the finish with a fine point. Once again this was a tremendous all round performance by each and every player including our 5 substitutes and the girls now take a break with a county final to look forward to after the exams, a game they will be strong favourites to win and complete a three in a row. Well done to the girls and the management team of Gabriel Gorman and Ronan Kavanagh.

Team was as follows:

Isobel Leddin, Emma Brady, Danielle Kavanagh, Orla Whelan, Ciara Brady, Shauna Farrelly, Abbey Yusef, Ciara O’Connnor (0-1), Niamh O’Connor (1-1), Rebecca Gorman (0-1), Megan Moore (0-3), Claire Connolly (1-1), Jade Oglesby, (1-1) Shauna Ward (2-3), Roisin Hurley (0-1).
