Northern Property Antrim senior Camogie semi-final:
Dunloy 2-17 Cushendall 1-10
Dunloy staged a great comeback, scoring 2-07 without reply in the last twenty minutes to beat Cushendall in the semi-final of Sunday’s Senior Camogie semi-final at Fr Healy Park, Loughgiel to set up another final meeting with Loughgiel in two weeks’ time.
Cushendall made a great start to the game and were six points clear at the end of the opening quarter (1-04 to 0-01) and things looked really promising for the Ruairi Og team, the goal coming from Amy McAllister who kicked the ball to the net from close range. Kady McNeill, Cara O’Boyle and Eva McNeill added points and Cushendall were in a strong position, but losing goal scorer McAllister was a setback and Dunloy hit back to finish the first half strongly with Nicole McAtamney sending over a series of frees and adding one from play to leave the Cuchullains trailing by just a single point at the break. (0-08 to 1-06)
Just as they had done in the opening half Cushendall started the second half strongly and stretched their lead to three by the 40th minute. However Dunloy never panicked and slowly but surely the got to grips with their opponents and three in a row from McAtamney had them level. Eobha McAllister, who had been fairly well contained by the Cushendall defence in the opening half then struck a telling blow when she raced clear of three defenders and batted the ball into the net to really set the Dunloy revival alight.
Suddenly the Cuchullains were in complete control and their wide range of scorers added to their tally as Cassie McArthur, Caoimhe Molloy Eobha McAllister, Mary McArthur and McAtamney pulled them ten clear in the end.
Dunloy: É McAllister 1-1, Á Magill 1-0, N McAtamney 0-10, 8 frees, C McArthur 0-3,, C Molloy, E Johnston, É McAllister and M McArthur 0-1 each.
Cushendall: A McAllister, K McNeill 0-1, E McNeill (frees) and C O’Boyle 0-4 each, O McCurry 0-1.
