Following their success in the League earlier in the season our newly
formed Curraha/St. Vincent’s adult Ladies team played their first ever Championship
game at Masterson Park, Ardcath on Friday evening last August 15 th . In the first
round of the Junior D Championship we got off to a slow start as many of our players
took some time to adjust to the pace of the game and the physicality of a seasoned
Rathkenny side. At half time we were eight points behind on a scoreline of 1-9 to 4
points. However, after a spirited second half come-back we just lost out by two points
and were unlucky not to win the game, the Rathkenny goalkeeper and the woodwork
denying us goals on a few occasions.

Ciara Morgan was undoubtably the hero for Curraha/St. Vincent’s, despite
been unable to start the game because of an injury, she came off the bench midway
through the first half and proceeded to score 2-7. Our only other score being a point
from Roisin O’Connor. Others to stand out were Jessica Brennan, Hannah Keogh,
Shauna White and Kirsty Green. With the experience of this first game at a higher
standard behind them our girls can look forward with confidence to the next round.

Final score : Curraha/St. Vincent’s 2-8, Rathkenny 1-13.
