Minor A Championship Final

Douglas take junior A league title

Douglas 2-11 Blackrock 0-8

Goals win games and in appalling weather condition Douglas grabbed one in either half to decide the destination of the junior A league title in Castle Road on Saturday last.

The pitch conditions were excellent but the continuous down pour and driving wind made it difficult for both teams to contend with Douglas Tracy mc Carthy points an early free to which Doireann ni Mhuiri replied but it was Blackrock who made all the early running and putting the Douglas defence under enormous pressure they hit two further points from Doireann Ni Mhuiri and Katelynn Hickey without reply as they opening up a two point lead.  

 Tracy Mc Carthy kept Douglas in touch as she pointed a free but Blackrock kept the pressure on Roisin De Faoite and Doireann ni Mhuiri hitting points as they went three points clear 0-5 to 0-2. 

 Five minutes to the break Jill Kelleher hit a superb Douglas point but still Blackrock held the upper hand around the middle of the field but they failed to build on it and Douglas were handed a life line three minutes into injury time as the Blackrock defence failed to clear their lines with Semma Long edging the ball over the line in a goal mouth scramble to give Douglas a 1-3 to 0-5 interval lead.

The goal was a major boost to the Douglas girls and they grabbed their chance Tracy Mc Carthy pointes  two frees inside eight minutes of the second half and as the rain cascaded down the sides continued to give it their all.

 Doireann Ni Mhuire had one back for Blackrock but now they were battling against a much focused Douglas defence who closed them down at every opportunity.

Tracy Mc Carthy and Clara Kavanagh hit two Douglas points to stretch their advantage to fie point but with Doireann ni Mhuiri now operating in their half forward line Blackrock were clawing their way back two point form NI Mhuire had the lead down to a goal but Douglas put the game out of Blackrock’s reach when substitute Jenny O Donovan hit their second gal with seven minutes remaining. Blackrock battled to try and get something back but it was Douglas who finished stronger with two Jenny O Donovan points and one from Semma Long to put the title out of reach of a battling Blackrock sides.
