Match Report by Méabh Johnson, Jane Bride & Emma Hickey
10th September
Ballylinan Girls v Emo
2-2; 4-12
Yesterday at 1.15pm a tough match between Ballylinan and Emo girls took place. Ballylinan girls were slow off the starting line, with Emo scoring the first few points of the match. Without goalkeeper Niamh Lavelle (woman of the match), there would have been no hope. With a few brilliant saves, she kept the game going and made a comeback seem less impossible.
With a great team talk from coach Ms Farrell, our spirits were lifted even though one of our star players Niamh Kaye had to be taken off by our second coach Ms Hayden, due to an ankle injury.
We started the second half with much more confidence and made a great come-back, scoring two quick goals and a few points. A great overall battle from the Ballylinan Girls and with some work we should hopefully come back with a win next time.
