Club Notes for
week-ending 28th April
Club history was
made on Saturday when Castlewellan fielded a
camogie team at U12 level for the first time.
Attical travelled to the town for this opening
league game.
Playing into a
strong breeze in the first half did not hinder
captain Primrose Dillon who found the back of
the net in the opening five minutes. Attical
quickly replied with two excellent goals from
play despite the best defensive efforts of
Finola Rice and Ciara Gibson.
Second half
pressure from Castlewellan’s Anna Rogan combined
with Padraigin Hawkins and Aoife Keown enabled
Catherine Collins to level the scoreboard.
An excellent all
round Castlewellan performance enabled these
inexperienced newcomers to secure a draw and
their first point of the season.
Team: Sinead
Sweeney, Holly Carville, Finola Rice, Ciara
Gibson, Padraigin Hawkins, Katie Savage, Gemma
Greenan, Aoife Keown, Catherine Collins,
Primrose Dillon, Nicola McCabe
Anna Rogan,
Niambh Burns, Clare Trainor, Alyson Morgan,
Louise McCabe, Caitlin Burns
Megan Murdock.
Next U12 Match:
Saturday 28th April at home to Ballyholland.
Feile Na Gael:
Castlewellan’s two Féile encounters both ended
in defeat despite Castlewellan’s youthful and
inexperienced team giving brave performances and
showing great spirit and determination.
In the first
match, a slick moving Portaferry side took an
early lead and never looked back to grab a
comfortable win despite the finest efforts of
goalkeeper Sinead Sweeney who made some
excellent saves whilst under severe pressure.
In the second
match Ballyholland were able to replicate
Portaferry’s success.
These matches
will provide Castlewellan experience as they
travel to these Ards clubs in the U14 league
campaign.
Team: Shannon
Rice (captain), Rosealeen Rice, Sarah Jane
Collins, Mary O’Higgins, Amy Rice, Louise
McCabe, Clare Trainor, Padraigin Hawkins, Finola
Rice, Aoife Keown, Katie Savage, Alyson Morgan,
Catherine Collins, Primrose Dillon, Ciara
Gibson, Sinead Sweeney.
