Shamrocks stroll in Cushendall

Antrim Camogie League Division 1

Cushendall: 0-6 Loughgiel: 6-17

County champions and Division 1 League holders Loughgiel travelled to Cushendall and beat an understrength Ruairi Og side convincingly on Tuesday evening to move back to the top of the league table.

With eight players missing because of injury and holidays the home side knew there were going to struggle and their fears were soon realised as the Shamrocks hit them with a barrage of scores early in the game. Annie Lynn, Caitrin Dobbin (2) and Roisin McCormick all hit the net as Loughgiel raced to a 4-10 to 0-2 lead at the interval

A couple of early points from full forward Orlaith McAlister  lifted spirtis a little but it was to be a brief respite as the Shamrocks continued to press home their undoubted advantage with Roisin McCormick and Caitrin Dobbin both adding goals to the team tally. Laura McMullan and Orlaith McAlister came back with points for the home side midway through the half but the visitors ended with six unanswered points to run out winners by 6-17 to 0-6
