Down Ladies sponsored by 'Around
a Pound' play Monaghan on Sunday July 4th in the
Senior Championship. At the time of writing the
time and venue have not yet been decided.
Championship fever hit the Mourne County on Saturday
evening with some very interesting ties up for
decision. In the Junior division, Ardglass and
Aughlisnafin progressed as expected. Shamrocks
were the surprise winners in their tussle with
Teconnaught, the east down girls will rue some
wayward shooting which led to their demise.
The intermediate clash between Bright and Clonduff
saw the hilltown girls progress to the semi-finals
with a comfortable win at Killough.
The clash of the round in the senior division
brought together Bosco and Bredagh. The game was
very even in the first half with Michaela Downey
and Joanne Lavery particulary dominant for their
respective teams. At the interval Bosco led 1-09
to Bredagh's 1-06. The goals coming from Michaela
Downey (Bosco) & Joanne Lavery (Bredagh)
A dominant ten minute period
in the second half effectively secured the victory
for Bosco as they scored 2 goals without reply
from Michaela Downey & Sharon Murnaghan. A late
Bredagh goal by Geraldine Grimley could not prevent
an impressive Bosco victory leaving the final
score Bosco 3-14 Bredagh 2-08. On this performance
Bosco will be favourites to land the Championship
title with the main threat likely to come from
last years winners Castlewellan who they can't
meet until the final.
Important Fixtures Update:
The Under 16 Championship semi finals due to be
played on Saturday 3rd July will now be played
