Under 16 Camogie Final

Ruairi Og 8-23 Dunloy Cuchullains 2-09

Cushendall won the first silverware at Feis na nGleann ’25 when they beat Dunloy in Friday evening’s Under 16 Camogie final at Glenariffe. Ahead from the opening minute when player of match Cliodhna Thompson got the first of their eight goals they girls in maroon were unstoppable. They went on to lead by 4-11 to 0-05 at half time.

Dunloy had a mountain to climb in the second half but to their credit they kept plugging away and were rewarded for their endeavours by scoring two goals and four points in that second period and in Keeva McFerran, Ciara McMullan, Adria McAllister, Caoilflhionn McShane and Caitlin Gormley they had players who all did well.

After Cliodhna Thompson’s early goal the ‘Ruairiettes’ fans were expecting a goal rush but it was another 2o minutes before they got their second, Thompson again the finisher after rounding a defender and batting the ball to the Dunloy net. Goal number three came three minutes later from Scarlet Kerr McKillop Anna Birt got the fourth just on half time to give her team a 4-11 to 0-05 lead at the break.

Thompson completed her hat-trick of goals seven minutes into the second half as well as adding some top class points. Goal number six came from second half substitute Lucia Trainor and after corner forward Laoiseach McNaughton got the seventh Trainor struck again for number eight. Dunloy had their best spell of the game midway through the second half when Caitlin Galvin and Mia Gormley found the net with Adria McAllister, Caoilflhionn McShane and Maggie Cairns adding points.

However a slick moving and hard working Cushendall team were always in control and their impressive record in underage Camogie continues.
