These sides played out a very entertaining draw in o’Callaghan’s Mills last Wednesday evening as both sides will feel that they left scoring chances go abegging. Only a point seperated the teams at the break with the excitement coming at either end of the half. Both goalies were called on early to hold their own and Caroline Cruaghan pulled of a double save from Sarah Donnellan early on and again a few minutes later from hat-trick goal scorer Nora Murphy, while Martina McNamara was called on at the other end to deny Truagh’s Helen Guinnane. Points were swapped in the interm and as the end drew close Yvonne Woods and Nora Murphy traded goals to keep the excitement piqued at the break.
On the restart Kilkishen threatened and Kate Lynch converted a æ45. Truagh were winning the mid-field battle and a run through the centre from Michelle Caulfield goaling. Elaine Hannon cut the deficit for Kilkishen however Truagh continued to hold their lead and Fiona Caulfield was on hald to slot a goal to the net. It took a long time for Kilkishen to get back into the game but they did keep trying and Nora Murphy was on hand to goal for the home side. This didn’t last long though as Fiona Caulfield goaled again for the visitors and they looked as they would hold on for the two points. Kilkishen had an attack or two left though and after a shot from Nora Murphy was well saved by Craughan in the Truagh goal Marie Collins was on hand to goal the rebound and Murphy herself was on hand to provide the equalising score to ensure that both sides left the mid-week meeting with a share of the points.
