AIB Ulster intermediate club quarter final 

Con Magee’s Glenravel 3-6 Lisnaskea Emmetts 3-14

ALTHOUGH Con Magee’s started this Ulster LGFA quarter-final with a goal and a point inside the first minute, the more experienced visitors from Fermanagh quickly settled into the game, took control and dominated the exchanges to reach next week’s semi-final.

Aisling Mulholland buried that early goal and Leona Gillan quickly added a point for a dream start. But within two minutes, Lisnaskea were level; Maeve Mulligan hit the first of her four first-half points and from the kick out, Sharon Murphy was one third of the way to her hat-trick of goals.

Glenravel however hit back over the next five minutes with three fine points from Molly Woulahan, Niamh McKay and Aisling Mulholland.

The Fermanagh defence closed up shop after those scores and they broke forward to create space and scoring opportunities for Caroline Kerins, Mulligan and Murphy. By half time they were 2-7 to 1-5 ahead with Niamh McKay pointing a late free for the home team on the half time whistle.

Kerins started the run of scores with two frees, Mulligan added two from play, each added a point each from play before combining to send Murphy through for her second goal in the 29th minute.

Kerins pointed on the re-start before the home side got a break when a free from Niamh McKay dropped into the Lisnaskea net.

However it was quickly cancelled at the other end with Kerins again providing the final pass for Murphy’s hat trick.

Mulligan and Kerins (two) added points before Aimee Traynor pulled a points back from a free.

During the final quarter Lisnaskea added three more points through Murphy (two) and Jessica Connolly before sub Clodagh McPeake poked home a late consolation goal for Con Magee’s.

The home side can point to some wayward shooting particularly during the second half. But overall Lisnaskea were the more accomplished team, comfortable in possession and able to get inside for the big scores.
