Clann na nGael 3-05, Ballinhassig 1-09

The junior ladies travelled to Ballinhassig last Saturday to play the home team in the County League (Division 6) final. The match started in an exciting fashion with Clann na nGael taking an early lead which they gradually built on, scoring 3 goals in the process. On the stroke of half time Ballinhassig were awarded a penalty which Aisling Connolly brilliantly saved but the home team scored the rebound, leaving the half time score 3-2 to 1-3. As expected, Ballinhassig started the second half strongly but the Scorchers stood firm and added on 2 late points to win the match. On the day there were 17 heroes on the panel who played with great heart and determination.

Great credit is due to all the players and mentors (Brian McCarthy, Fiona Coakley and Martin O’Driscoll) who represented the Scorchers jersey with such distinction.
