The Under 14s played their first game of the season Roscrea in McDonagh Park on Bank Holiday Monday afternoon. Nenagh played with the wind in the first half but it was Roscrea who took the initiative and led 1-1 to 0-0 at half time. The Nenagh girls fought hard and held Roscrea scoreless in the 3rd quarter, but the wind told in the final quarter and Roscrea won out 1-5 to 0-0. This was a big step up from Div C to B1, but the girls didn’t take a backward step. The backs especially were immense and deserve great praise for their efforts.
