U14 Feile

posted 3 May 2015, 04:16 by Pro Killeagh Camogie   [ updated 3 May 2015, 04:45 ]

Having registered two wins from two against Carrigtwohill and Castlemartyr in the opening rounds of the league attention turned to the Feile for our U14s. We hosted their group of the Feile on Sun. 26th with Ballinora, Sliabh Rua and Eire Og travelling too us. The first games threw in at 10:30 with Ballinora up first. Ballinora started the quicker with a goal while our girls were still waking up. We were quick to reply with Aine O’Driscoll finding the back of the net with an unstoppable shot a sign of things to come from her. The game evened out a bit after this with both teams registering a couple of points Elena and Orla with ours before Ballinora struck another goal just before half time to leave them up a goal at half time. We played a lot better in the second half but only managed to convert one chance through Joanna with Aine and Joanna both being unlucky with other chances while Ballinora picked off another two points to win the game 2:4 to 2:2. We were disappointed after the game as we knew we had the beating of them  but there wasn’t much time to wallow as Eire Og were up next at 11:20.

We were very dominant in the first half of this game but again failed to convert our chances and went in at half time level 1:1 apiece. Eire Og made a blistering start to the second half registering three quick goals before our girls got a handle on things and got a goal of their own again through Aine before a nasty injury to Joanna Keniry led to a break in play. Eire Og tagged on another two points before the end to win 4:3 to 2:1.

In our last game we came up against Sliabh Rua who like ourselves had been beaten in their first two matches. We started strongly with Aine picking off a hat trick of goals before Sliabh Rua got a goal of their own; we added another point before Sliabh Rua picked up their second goal. To leave the half time score 3:1 to 2:0 in our favour. We made a few changes in the second half to ensure everyone got a run and to give some of the girls a rest but we still held our own  and added 1:1 to Sliabh Rua’s two goals to run out winners 4:2 to 4:0.

This was a great experience for our girls and with a bit more luck the results could have gone our way but it wasn’t to be our day. Thanks to the three travelling clubs who made the day a very enjoyable and sporting affair and best wishes to Eire Og who go forward from the group to the next stage. Wishing a speedy recovery to Joanna who hopefully won’t be out too long with the injury she picked up. It’s back to the league next for the girls where they will play St. Catherine’s at home on Monday 4th May at 7pm.

Panel for the three matches was Orla Cowhig, Saoirse Burns, Joanna Keniry, Chloe Walsh, Chloe Motherway, Grainne Landers, Aoife O’Neill, Elena Kelleher, Sarah Roche, Aimee Kearney, Aine O’Driscoll, Rebecca Manning, Aisling Tyrell, Ava Cunningham, Niamh O’Connor, Abby Bulman, Chloe O’Donovan, Kate Gould, Rebecca Sheehan, Amy McCarthy and Anna Sheehan

Minors win in style

posted 3 May 2015, 03:59 by Pro Killeagh Camogie   [ updated 3 May 2015, 04:47 ]

Our 29 strong minor’s panel travelled to Castle road on Saturday to contest the Minor A league Final. Having suffered many cruel defeats in recent years, this bunch of girls were determined to start the year on a winning streak. The management (Mattie Tracey & Brian Sigerson) had instilled positioning in the girls and this stood them well in the difficult task ahead of them.

Kilbrittan/Timoleague opened the scoring with a point and it was quickly replied to by Hannah Looney who had 2 pts on the scoreboard within 10 mins. Play swung from side to side  at a very fast pace and all the girls giving of their best. Kilbrittan/Tim had point number 2 and Sinead Landers replied to it. A long range ball went to the back of the net for Kilbrittan/Timoleague and it upped the pressure on us. After a long run up the field Hannah pointed.  Young Ciara Barry had a great goal and Kate Mary Cullinae had a super save. Kilbrittan/Timoleague finished the half with a point to leave the score 1-4 to 1-3 in our favour.

Words of encouragement were issued at half time and the girls came back fighting. A great start with a goal from Hannah. Chloe Sigerson pointed a free and followed it up by a goal. Niamh O'Farrell was a tower of strength in the backline (making her a very worthy Captain). Leah McEvoy was everywhere on the field. Chloe had 2 further points. Kate Mary saved a penalty. What more could you ask, the excitement on the bench was mighty as final whistle blew. Kilbrittan/Timoleasgue were held scoreless in the second half. A 3-7 to 1-3 victory for Killeagh after a very tough high standard game of camogie.  Each and every girl giving it their all to become Minor League Champions 2015. The first of what we hope will be many trophies for the year.

It was great to see so many parents take time out to come to support the girls. The winning trophy was presented to Niamh O Farrell by Shelia Golden (see County Board) amidst raptures applause. Our thanks to Brian (Blondie) Barry for organising the home coming food for the girls.

THE ROAD TO SUCCESS

posted 16 Feb 2015, 00:59 by Pro Killeagh Camogie

Each club has its goals and ambitions for the year and for Killeagh GAA one of its major goals for 2015 is to tar the roadway at Pairc I Cheinneide. Those of us that regularly swerve over the potholes would love that too. The GAA Complex is a wonderful facility for all the community and it is for this reason that the Camogie Club are asking all its members and friends to get a ticket and go to the dogs at Curaheen Park on Feb28th. Tickets are 10e per adult.

 For those of you who cannot make the event do still buy a ticket as there are some valuable prizes to be one, All Ireland tickets and iPhones. As this event is likely to be a sell-out we are advising members to contact Mary Motherway  0860588559 to get their tickets, A great night is guaranteed.

As soon as this event is over we will be back to the playing fields.

Juvenile Notes:

Minors Come Up Short In Deluge Premier 1 Minor Hurling League Final Douglas 5­9, Killeagh­Ita’s 4­8 Our brave minor hurling team finished their long 2014 campaign on Saturday last in Ballinlough. Unfortunately for both teams and their die­hard supporters, the game was played in an unrelenting barrage of wind and rain, which made conditions on the pitch almost unplayable, and off the pitch very uncomfortable. Well done to the supporters for sticking it out under absolutely no shelter, and well done to both teams for giving 100% on a truly awful day for hurling. Striking the ball cleanly was almost impossible, players slipped and slid all over the place, and yet we saw some fantastic scores, great high fielding and blocking, and ultimately victory to Douglas by virtue of their strong display from the 45
 point lead (5­9 to 3­8). In spite of Shane Smiddy’s late goal (just reward for an outstanding
 display, particularly in the second half when he plucked four balls from the sky in seemingly impossible situations), we were unable to close the gap any further. Well done to this panel of players and to their management team of Niall, Colm and Brendan who have collectively given the minute, when they turned a two ­point deficit (4­3 to 3­8) into a seven to 55 outstanding service this year. While the rewards for 2014 are not immediately apparent, the rewards for the club in the medium and long term from this fine crop of players should be great.
