Travel Ireland Coaches Antrim Senior Camogie Championship

Cushendall 0-6 Dunloy 3-20

Dunloy laid down a marker in the opening round of the Senior Camogie Championship when they powered their way past Cushendall in the opening round robin game at Pairc Mhuire on Friday evening.

The Cuchullains girls were unstoppable as they hit the first five points of the game, three of them from Katie Molloy and one each from Caoimhe Molly and Erin Elliott. All Ireland Junior final hero Dervla Cosgrove got Cushendall’s opening score on 18 minutes from a free, but it was to be her team’s only score of the opening half as Dunloy hit back with three from Caoimhe Molloy, two from Katie Molly and one each from Bríd and Bronagh Magill to lead by 0-12 to 0-1 at the break.

The second half was more of the same and after an exchange of points from Katie Molloy and Dervla Cosgrove Dunloy hit their host with a barrage of scores, including three goals in a two minute spell from Eimear Johnston (2) and Erin Elliott. Two points from Dervla Cosgrove and one from substitute Sine Woodhouse closed the gap a bit for the home side but Dunloy finished strongly as Nicole McAtamney, Eimear Johnston and Caoimhe Molloy all added points to complete a top class performance.

Later this evening 9 in a row seeking Loughgiel open the defence of their title with a game against Ballycastle at Carey at 6pm
