0-03
Ballymartin
ladies continued their good league
form with a comfortable win over
Aughlisnafin last Wednesday night
in Pairc Cois Na Fharraige.
Clonduff
and Loughinisland had previously
ventured to Ballymartin only to
leave pointless and the Aughlisnafin
girls suffered a like fate in this
very
entertaining league match. Michele
Cousins got Ballymartin off the
mark with a well taken point, closely
followed by a like score from midfielder
Sinead Murphy.
Aughlisnafin
battled hard but were unable to
break through a resolute Ballymartin
rearguard where full back Carol
Rafferty was simply outstanding.
Ballymartin continued to pressure
and when Orla Rooney gathered the
ball 40 yds out, rounded her defender
and fired over a great individual
score
there was only ever going to be
one winner of this Intermediate
contest. Ballymartin finished the
half strongly with points from Aine
Hardy from all
of 35 yds and a spectacular Michele
Cousins goal to leave the half-time
score Ballymartin 1-05 Aughlisnafin
0-00.
The second half was a closer affair
with Aughlisnafin getting their
name on the score sheet almost from
the throw-in. The Ballymartin rearguard
however held firm with
Julie-Ann Philips, Clare Morgan,
Eimear Rooney, Christine Magorrian
and Andrea Annett breaking up the
Aughlisnafin attack time and again.
Michele
Cousins added a further point but
the score of the night fell to Ciara
McGreevy who fired in an unstoppable
shot from 30 yds which rattled the
top
right hand corner of the net and
inevitably ended this match as a
contest. This was another good performance
from an ever improving Ballymartin
side. All credit must
go to Aughlisnafin for the sporting
manner in which they played this
match. Ballymartin Ladies would
like to wish Aughlisnafin good luck
in their upcoming Junior Championship
Final against Tullylish. The next
match is at home Wednesday August
11th v Bright @ 7:30pm
