North Munster U 16 ½  A Victory for Camogie Team

Well done to the  U 16 ½ camogie team  who had a landslide victory over  St. Mary’s of Newport in the North Munster  (A) final at Templemore Town Park on Saturday last.  In spite of a delayed start and very cold weather conditions, Our Lady’s gave an exhibition of hurling from the throw in and left the opposition completely overwhelmed.  The Templemore backs weren’t too busy but dealt well with the occasional challenge from Newport.  Eimear Cahill at centre-back was particularly impressive. Maria Curley and MaireadEviston at centre-field dominated the game while the forwards availed of all the chances they were presented with and finished with final tally of 4-14 to Newport’s 1-4 .NiamhTreacy  who scored 4-4 stood out  and gave a real player of the game performance.

Team Ciara Manton, Danielle Healy, Kate Cashman, Noleen Brereton, Orla Cahill, Emer Cahill (C ) , EilishHassett,  Maria Curley,  MaireadEviston,  Miriam Campion,  NiamhTreacy,  Elaine Fitzpatrick, Sarah Buckley, Aisling O’ Dea, Leann  Collins. Congratulations to the team and to manager, Ms.Teresa Brennan.
