Corrib Oil U19 Girls
Our Corrib Oil U19 Girls travelled to Kiltoom on Sunday to play St Brigid’s in the Division 1 Championship Final. It was a bright and fresh morning and there was great support from family and friends of the Club on the side-lines.

From the beginning it looked like a tough battle would take place as both teams were hungry for the title. Our ladies put up a good defence and manoeuvred their way through to the posts on several occasions, however, at the final whistle our opponents lifted the cup.

St. Brigid’s went up 2.04 to 0.01 at the first water break as it proved difficult for our offence to break through a tight back line. But the second quarter was our time to shine, and as we came into our stride, the scores started to tick. First from A. Roddy, and then on a quick turnover by our defence, there was one each for S. King and M. McKeon in quick succession. Shortly afterwards, we were awarded a penalty and A. Feely expertly positioned it in the back of the net. Although they did not score in the second quarter, St Brigid’s led at half time 2.04 to 1.04.

Our determined back line led by Captain I. King, M. Brogan and E. Scally paired with the safe hands of keeper R. Johnson cleared a number of balls to prevent Brigid’s from adding to their tally. However, the second penalty of the game was awarded to our opponents just before the second water break, and it made its way into the net. At the end of the third quarter, it was 3.06 to 1.06 to St Brigid’s. Our ladies never stopped fighting throughout the last 15mins and we had further scores from A. Feely and H. Kerins but unfortunately today wasn’t our day and the game finished on a score line of 4.08 to 2.08

Team Listing: R. Johnson, C. Byrne, M. Brogan, R. Duggan, K. Roddy, I. King (C), E. Scally, S. King (0.01), S. Wynne, H. Kerins (0.01), M. Mc Keon (0.01), A. Feely (2.04 – 1.01 from frees), L. Downes, A. Roddy (0.01), S. McGrath. Subs: Z. Kearney for L. Downes. With: P. Ewing, L. Lynch Dolan, T. Casey, C. O’Dowd, C. O’Donnell, A. Kennedy, C. Cregg, T. Sheridan and K. Garavan.

The Club and panel expressed their thanks to their management team of Vinny, Mick and Damian, sponsor Corrib Oil, as well as the parents, family and friends who supported the team throughout the season. Boyle is building, and we look forward to seeing this group of players develop and flourish in years to come.

Thank you from Boyle LGFA

And on that note, Boyle LGFA’s season has officially ended. The Club wishes to thank all coaches, players, parents, helpers and sponsors for their continued contributions to the Club – without your support and dedication, we would not have the Club we have today.
