Ladies U14 Football County Final
Passage 2—07 Keelnameela 10pts
Passage Under 14 Ladies Football team put in a great performance when coming back from three points down to beat West Cork side Keelnameela in the Under 14 Ladies County Football final played at a sunny Ballinlough on Friday night.
Forced to line out with three of their top players, Sarah O’Shea, Eimear Dorgan and Emma Byrne because of injury Passage took time to get used to the wide expanses of Ballinlough, which allowed the West Cork side take an early lead. Behind by 4 pts to 1 pt after 15 minutes, the game threatened to get away from Passage. Despite having enough of the ball , the harbour side were finding it hard to take their scores, while Keelnameela were creeping ahead with some well taken points.
But the game turned on its head with four minutes left in the opening half, a long ball out of defence was carried up the field by Lucy Haden, she in turn found corner forward Orla Smith, who hit a cracker of a shot over Ana Kelly in the Keelnameela goal and it nestled in the net. This brought Passage back into the game with the scoreline 1—03 to 9pts for Keelnameela at the break.
The second half saw Passage emerge a much slicker outfit, they moved the ball with purpose, while their two outstanding midfielders Rachel Sheehan and Lucy Haden were full of running.
Inside the first four minutes Passage were in front, Lucy Haden had Passage level with a great goal before Orla Smith scored a good point to edge Passage in front for the first time. Keelnameela once again levelled the game with Aoife O’Sullivan putting over a good point. Passage again rose their game putting over three points as the time counted down.
Keelnameela were not finished as they laid siege to the Passage goal but some outstanding defending by full back line of Aisling McEveney, Aoife Allen and Niamh Taffe, denied them scores, while goalkeeper Eimear Sheehan gave an outstanding display with some top class saves under pressure.
Keelnameela had chances to level but again some heroic defending by the harbour side saw the Under 14 County wind its way to Passage.
Overall it was a wonderful display by a very talented bunch of girls that done Passage proud.
They all played well on the night, but a special mention must go to Midfielders Rachel Sheehan, and Lucy Haden who’s workrate and non stop running was a feature of the game. In defence Full back Aoife Allen and goalkeeper Emer Sheehan led from the front, while the six forwards all played their part, with Ciara Kennifick being very effective all through.
Passage, Eimear Sheehan, Aisling McEveney, Aoife Allen, Niamh Taffe, Chloe McCarthy, Ella Cloherty, Laura Finlay, Rachel Sheehan 2pts, Lucy Haden 1—01, Winnie Parata 1pt, Ciara Kennifick 1pt, Sarah Jane Byrne 1pt, Orla Smith 1—01, Niamh Roussel , Sara Saha.
Subs, Rachel O’Sullivan, Tara Whyte, Kasia Zielinska, Siomha Hughes, Chloe Walsh, Favour Nduwuba, Hayle Thomas, Katie Bowen.
Well done to the management team of Francis McEveney, Fabrice Roussel, Orla Sheehan, Anna Saha, Karl Murphy, Carolyn Mullane.
