Co Development League Silver (12 a side) Final – Nenagh Éire Óg 2-10 Burgess Duharra 4-0
Our girls played some fantastic camogie to end their season with a win in their league final.
With a strong cross-field breeze, the Nenagh girls started strongly and were soon 1-2 to 0-0 up, following a great catch, turn and strike from Laura Gleeson. Nenagh dominated the first half thanks to some strong running and scoring from Player of the Match Sailí O’Connor and we went in 2-4 to 0-0 up at half time.
Burgess came out fighting and in a ten minute period after half time, they found the net 4 times, with no reply from Nenagh. Moving Laura Gleeson from full forward to half back steadied the ship for Nenagh and through some great play from the forwards, we picked off our points to pull clear and win by four points. Thanks and hard luck to the Burgess girls for a great game.

We failed to continue our scoring momentum in the second half and despite some heroic defending by our backs, Newport tacked on the scores to win by 4 points 2-11 to 4-03. Best of luck to Newport in the final.
The club would like to thank all of the panel for how they have trained and played all year and for how they behave and conduct themselves on and off the field. Coming up a division from C to B was never going to be easy but they worked hard and reached a league final, topped their championship group and sadly lost the semi-final, but not without a great fight.

On Saturday U13A team played Kilruane in the North Final in Dolla. Kilruane led from the start and we couldn’t get out in front. Having trailed by a point at half time and aided by the breeze there was reason for optimism. A great start to the second half by Kilruane had us chasing the game. The boys battled to the end but were denied on numerous occasions by a goalkeeper in excellent form. Congratulations to Kilruane and best of luck in the rest of the championship.
