The \u00c9ire \u00d3g junior A Camogie team led from start to finish in an entertaining battle with Kildangan at MacDonagh Park, Nenagh on Sunday evening.
\n
\nCounty Junior A Camogie Championship
\nNenagh \u00c9ire \u00d3g 1-11 Kildangan 1-6<\/strong><\/p>\n

The aptitude for hard work and a terrific intensity in the tackle was a real highlight of this performance. Indeed, \u00c9ire \u00d3g won a turnover ball as early as the second minute. Holly O\u2019Brien was then fouled and O\u2019Brien converted to present the Blues with an early advantage.<\/p>\n

Three minutes later Louise Hickey won a free which Holly O\u2019Brien converted before Kildangan responded with a free of their own in the 11th minute (0-2 to 0-1).<\/p>\n

Zoe Gratton landed a great point off her right in the 12th minute before a Holly O\u2019Brien free following a foul on Louise Hickey helped \u00c9ire \u00d3g into a 0-4 to 0-1 lead.<\/p>\n

In the 16th minute the Kildangan \u2018keeper made a great save to deny Aileen Duggan a certain goal. Undeterred \u00c9ire \u00d3g pressed forward with Danielle Harrington setting up Holly O\u2019Brien for a fifth Nenagh point in the 18th minute (0-5 to 0-1).<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g\u2019s dominance deserved a goal and that three-pointer materialised in the 20th minute when Danielle Harrington set up Aislinn O\u2019Brien for a crucial score (1-5 to 0-1).<\/p>\n

\u00c9ire \u00d3g \u2018keeper Ali Darcy made a fine save in the 26th minute and the sides retired with seven between them at the break (1-5 to 0-1).<\/p>\n

SECOND HALF<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kildangan made a determined stand during the opening ten minutes of the second half with three points (two frees) reducing the Blues\u2019 lead to four by the 39th minute (1-5 to 0-4).<\/p>\n

In the 41st minute Louise Hickey won a vital free which Holly O\u2019Brien converted and two minutes later Alanna Morris fired over a terrific left-handed effort to leave six between them. Aileen Duggan added an eighth \u00c9ire \u00d3g point in the 45th minute and now Nenagh led 1-8 to 0-4.<\/p>\n

Kildangan responded with a free in the 50th minute, but \u00c9ire \u00d3g hit back with two Holly O\u2019Brien frees following fouls on Louise Hickey and Alanna Morris to lead 1-10 to 0-5 with time fast running out.<\/p>\n

A Kildangan free cut the \u00c9ire \u00d3g lead to seven with four minutes to play, but the Blues hit back once more with an Alanna Morris point from play.<\/p>\n

Ali Darcy made a fine save to deny Kildangan a goal on the hour mark, but Kildangan did sneak in for a consolation goal in the 61st minute.<\/p>\n

The Blues have beaten Templemore and Kildangan and now face two remaining group games in the county junior A Camogie championship against Newport and Holycross-Ballycahill in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
