Senior ladies Gaelic Footballers through to County Semi Final after beating Scoil Phobail Bheara.

Well done to our senior ladies football team who beat Scoil Phobail Bheara yesterday in the county quarter final. It was a cracking game from start to finish with both teams trading scores for most of the match. Meadhbh Sammon opened scoring for CPB after five minutes raising a white flag after great team work. She added a further goal and two points before half time. Maggie Kingston got the first goal for CPB on the ten minute mark. Grace Kingston in goals made some vital saves. Emma Kelly and Katie Russell added important points also. The half time score was CPB 2-5 SPB 1-3. Beara came into the game more in the second half scoring several really well worked goals but CPB replied to each one with a goal of their own, Lainey Barry scoring the three second half goals. Excellent defending from all the backs was crucial with Kerrie O’Connell,Molly O’Sullivan, Anna O’Brien and Cliodhna O’Shea giving a defensive masterclass. Molly Harrington and Caoimhe O’Shea were a great outlet for goal kicks and they linked play really well with the forwards. Aoidhe Murphy, Aoife Kingston and Ali O’Sullivan all got themselves on the scoresheet with well taken points after tireless work from other players such as Elaine McSweeney and Jasmine Ellis in the forwards. It was a nail biting finish as the teams were level going into injury team but CPB showed great determination to ensure victory on a score line of 5-8 to 5-6. Thanks to SPB for a really sporting game! It was an excellent performance from the whole team and they can now look forward to a semi final in the coming weeks . Well done ladies!
