Tuesday 24 May 2016U12 Camogie - League

Riverstick, 19:15PM

Barryroe 1-02 Sliabh Rua 3-02 

This was our 2nd game in the league following on from Sundays game. We travelled to Riverstick on a bright sunny evening with no threat of thunder or lightening in the forecast.  

It was Barryroe who were first to score, against the run of play and after much play around the goal mouth, it was Claire Dullea who got the finishing touch and scored a goal. Sliabh Rua are a very strong team and kept pressure on. They got a goal from a very well taken free to get their first score of the night. Our backs  -  Nicole, Ava & Ali defended well while Ellen had a super game in goal with some great saves. Sliabh Rua had another run in and scored another goal which was followed  by a point  to give them the lead. Ashling & Holly played super in midfield, while we didn’t manage to score again in the first half, Claire Tobin, Esther & Ciardha did well in keeping the sliothar from getting to close to our goal,  it was harder to get the ball to our forwards of Mira Chloe & Tara as playing against the wind and fall of ground  but when it did, they were unlucky not to score. Charlene and Emma also played well and had some good blocks and hooks  - all the things that Dan has been showing them over the last few weeks. First half ended 3-02 to 1-00

Second half saw some fresh legs introduced – Madelin, Lucy, Cliona & Mia all came on and did really well. We kept Sliabh Rua from scoring anything in this half which was great as they did have chances but good defending and good saves by Ellen kept them at bay. As we had the wind, it did help us and we had a few chances but their backs were equally as strong and denied us of getting a further goal. But two frees from Tara & Claire Tobin saw us score two good points, again learning from the drills that Dan has been doing with them in training. All our girls did really well considering they had played a game on Sunday.  This was an exciting game as well, on a lovely evening with no inclement weather, so the final score  3-02 to 1-02 .

Next game against Crosshaven. Date to be decided.
