SAVAL
LADIES FOOTBALL NEWS
Congratulations to the Saval
Ladies Junior side who have made
it through to the Junior
Championship Final with a hard
earned victory over a very good
Bredagh side at Kilcoo last
Saturday evening.
This is only the second year of
Junior Ladies football in Saval
and it is a credit to the girls
and their Management team of
Anthony Crozier and Damien Lennon
that they have reached the Final.
The team is also doing well in the
League with 6 wins out of 6.
Saturday 30th July
Saval 3-6 Bredagh 2-6
As the score-line suggests this
was a well contested Championship
tie between two evenly matched
sides.
Saval started brightly and raced
into a four point lead before a
defensive error let Bredagh in for
a goal.
Our girls hit back with a point
but Bredagh finished the half
strongly with 2 points and a goal
in the closing minutes of the half
to leave the half time score :
Saval 1-3 Bredagh 2-2
The second half started like the
first with Saval in the ascendancy
taking their scores adding 1 goal
and 2 points to their total.
Bredagh came back with a point but
their hopes of a comeback were
dashed when following a great
Saval move involving Niamh McGowan
and Ashleen McEvoy who sent Vicki
Lennon through on goal and she
made no mistake. The spirited
Bredagh side added minor scores
but were unable to bridge the gap.
Overall this was another solid
performance bearing in mind the
players missing and that 10 of the
starting 15 were from the Under 16
side.
The full back line of Brenda
Murphy , Grace Cole and Laura
Fitzparick were just great. The
midfielders of Jenny Hehir and
Aine Crozier won their fair share
of possession against older and
bigger opponents. Up front Viki
Lennon and Niamh McGowan always
posed a danger. Saval ‘s best
player by far was Charlene Malone
who had an excellent game at right
half back.
