Rosina McManus Camogie Shield final 

Aquinas Grammar 4-13 St Aidan’s, Cootehill 5-3

Aquinas Grammar battled back in the final quarter of Wednesday’s Rosina McManus Shield final to beat St Aidan’s Cootehill and seal their first Ulster Camogie title for the school.

Éabha Slowey gave St Aidan’s the lead with a goal in the fourth minute and they appeared to be in control, but a goal from Aquinas captain Katie Christie eight minutes into the second half pulled her side level.

In what had been a low scoring affair up to this stage suddenly transformed and Rose Geoghegan sent over a point for Cootehill to put them back in front. Less than a minute later Katie McKavanagh fired in a goal for Aquinas but Geoghegan hit back with a brilliant individual goal to make it 4-3 to 2-8 with 13 minutes to go.

Aquinas, pushed on and McKavanagh’s accuracy from frees saw them take control again. The St Bridget’s player had edged her side into the lead before Maisie Quilton blocked a clearance and raced through for a goal. A minute later McKavanagh’s long-range free went all the way to the net.

Máiréad Markey grabbed a goal at the other end for St Aidan’s, but it was Aquinas who finished strongest with a point from Ciara Doyle and two from McKavanagh, bringing her personal total to 2-8
