Minor Ladies
Ballymac 1-03 Cromane/Laune Rangers 2-19
Round 4 Division 1 County League
21st August 2020
On a wet and windy Friday night, our minor ladies had to face the might
of Cromane and Laune Rangers. Due to injuries and work
commitments, we were forced to line out with just 15 players and after
15 mins we were down to 14, after Maryanne Fleming damaged her
hamstring.
We started the scoring with a great point by Eve Creedon
who scored all our points tonight. The girls worked tirelessly and moved
the ball well up the field. The defense was under considerable pressure
but did really well and got plenty of blocks in, as well as turnovers.
Theopposition was able to swap on and off their players to keep them
fresh. Ella Quirke got the goal that the ladies so deserved and overall
you would have to be proud of the workrate and commitment of the
ladies tonight.
Goalkeeper Kerry Hennessy made a few good saves, Full Back Line of
Lorna Daly, Roisin Long and Grainne Galvin were tight to their players
and did a great job under huge pressure. The Half Back Line of Caoimhe
Carroll, Sinead McKeown and Alyssa Leen O’Shea got on a lot of ball
and worked it well down the field while also having to track back
continuously.
Joint Captains and midfield pairing Ellie McElliggott and
Eve Creedon were the stars of the night never giving up and showed an
incredible workrate throughout the whole game.
The forwards Lisa Curran, Keelin Enright, Ella Quirke, Emma Leen and Kate O’Connor put in a big shift in running, closing down and trying to make openings, Emma also did well at cornerback in the second half.
Special thanks to all who helped out tonight, Dave Keane, Linda Daly,
Emma Sweeney, Una Kerins, Robyn Whyte and Siobhan Leen O’Shea.
Great to see such involvement with the ladies.
Next onto our final game, the local derby versus Castleisland Desmond’s.
