Rossa scored a runaway win over Ballycastle in the Junior Camogie Final at Feis na nGleann in Dunloy on Saturday. Ballycastle who did well to get a team together after half the team was ruled out because they had played in the Senior Feis semi-final earlier in the week, did well field a team, and they struggled against a very good Rossa side.

Star of the show was Rossa left half forward Caitlin Armstrong who overall scored 4 goals and 9 points in an incredible performance, while right half forward Eimear Byrne also proved a real handful for the Ballycastle defence.

Byrne got her team’s first goal in the ninth minute and Armstrong the other three as the Belfast girls hit 4-11 in the first half.

Ballycastle came back with points from Amy Hunter, Rianna McBride and Laura Dallas in the second half but hit the net two more times through Caitlin Armstrong and Natalie McGuinness to run out convincing winners.
