Doherty Woodshavings Antrim Junior Camogie Championship quarter-final
Brídíní Óga Glenravel 5-10 Ballycastle 0-5
Brídíní Óga started this game with a goal from Sabrina Spiers in the
opening minute and that set the tone for the duration of the first half.
The Glenravel half-back line took a grip of the game, Beth McAuley and
Úna McAleenan kept the sliotar moving through the middle and the pace
of Niamh Donnelly and Aimee Traynor opened Ballycastle’s defence for
some excellent scores while the aggression of inside forwards Sabrina
Spiers and Oonagh Ward forced goals.
The visitors worked hard throughout with Cathy Christie, Grainne Hunter,
Donna Busby and Megan Brolly vatching the eye.
Apart from a point from Hunter in the 6th minute, it was all about
Brídíní Óga going forward and keeping the Town defence under plenty
of pressure.
Long range scores from Niamh Donnelly and Aimee Traynor as well as edge
of the square goals from Sabrina Spiers and Oonagh Ward meant that
Glenravel soon built up a lead of 5-8 to 0-1.
Scoring slowed during the second half, as Ballycastle hit back and
Grainne Hunter and Úna Kelly took a couple of good points, while Cathy
Christie floated over two fine long range frees
