Killoe 4-16

St. Helen’s 4-10

St. Helen’s lost out to Killoe by 6 points in the Division 1 semi-final in Clonee on Sunday morning. For the majority of the match Helen’s looked as if they would reach the final however in the final 15 minutes Killoe kicked on to emerge comfortable winners. Helen’s got the perfect start when Laura Burke scored a goal with the first chance of the game after 40 seconds. Aisling O’Hara converted a penalty shortly after that after Zoe Connell was pulled back. Killoe then woke up and countered with a goal of their own to leave the Half Time score: 2-5 to 1-7 in favour of St. Helen’s.

Killoe hit the first 3 points of the second half before the outstanding Laura Burke put St. Helen’s back in front with a brilliant goal. Killoe started to take control of game after that and in final quarter found the net twice. Aisling O’Hara buried a consolation goal with last kick of game to leave the final score 4-16 to 4-10.

Fr. Manning Gaels 0-06

Longford Slashers 1-09

It was an evening to forget for our Reserve team as they went down by 6 to a much slicker Longford Slashers outfit. In wet conditions in Monaduff, the young Slashers side punished every mistake made and once they converted a penalty in the 6th minute they never looked like losing. The Gaels were down 1-7 to 0-2 at half time with our only scores coming from Petie Collum in the 2nd minute and an excellent long range effort from Eoin Keane just before half time. The home side showed much more spirit in the second half and had the same battling qualities been on display in the first a much closer contest would have taken place. In particular, Nigel Kiernan and Mickey Kelly in the half back line put in a lot of hard work and never gave up. Placed balls from Eoin Keane, Petie Collum and an excellent individual score from substitute Scott Howe were unfortunately not enough to reduce the deficit sufficiently and Slashers ended up the victors on a score line of 1-9 to 0-6.
