Ballygarvan 2-9; St. Finbarrs 1-11

The senior team began their league campaign with a tough game against a very physical Barrs team. There was very little between the two sides throughout this match, with only a single point separating them at half time. The backs did particularly well in the second half to contain the Cork senior player Gemma O’ Connor who got most of the Barr’s scores in the first half.

Ballygarvan 3-12; Valley Rovers 3-5

The minor team won their second match of the season in Brinny pitch against Valley Rovers. The backs fought hard to keep Valley Rovers to one point versus eleven points at the short whistle. The final ten minutes saw the Rovers making a valiant effort, scoring three goals and a point, but at that stage our girls had put the game out of their reach. The minors are now taking a break to concentrate on their forthcoming exams.

Ballygarvan  2-8; Inniscarra 2-5

By Joe Kennefick: Eire Og           2-6 Ballygarvan:  1-7 Eire Og had a very hard fought two point victory over Ballygarvan in the final of the Evening Echo sponsored Cork County Minor B Camogie Final. Played yesterday at the Camogie grounds in Mahon, a biting wind made this a game of both halves, but at the end, the girls of Eire Og had two points to spare after a thrilling finale. Eire Og led by six points at the interval after playing with a gale force wind, and when Aoife McCarthy goaled early in the second half to put them nine points ahead, they looked the likely winners. However, Ballygarvan dominated the remainder of the game, but could not get the scores they needed. Ballygarvan had the perfect start against the wind and led by 0-2 to 0-0 after three minutes, the scores coming from Rachel Keohane, who could easily have goaled, and a Lorraine Browne free. Eire Og gradually found their feet though, and could have had two goals before Elaine Scally found the net in the seventh minute, after a free from Rosin Murray dropped into the goalmouth. Claire Meaney  showed her class, as she hit four points from play, while Scally pointed a free to leave the half time score 1-5 to 0-2 to the girls from Ovens. Ballygarvan, with the wind at their backs were rocked in the 33^rd minute when McCarthy goaled. However, they put in a tremendous last twenty minutes. Hard working midfielder Maeve Moynihan, started the recovery with a point in the 36^th minute. Lorraine Browne then pointed two frees to narrow the gap to six points. Eire Og were defending desperately at this stage, but in goalkeeper Marie Gleeson and backs Aoife Hennessy and Kattie McCarthy, they repelled attack after attack.  Rebecca Murphy thundered into the game, and she goaled in the 51^st minute, and had two further points, while Aoife McCarthy  replied for Eire Og. With the game in the balance, Ballygarvan threw everything at the winners, but time ran out and Eire Og held on to be champions.   Scorers: Eire Og: E Scally 1-1(1f), C Meaney 0-4,  A McCarthy 1-1.

Ballygarvan 5-10 v Douglas 2-2 Douglas put the Ballygarvan girls under a lot of pressure in the first quarter of their third outing in the Junior Shield competition. However, once they had put a few scores on the board, the Ballygarvan forwards began to take full advantage of the considerable amount of possession they were being fed. Suzanne Lynch, Aisling Byrne and Bernadette Keohane were particularly accurate throughout the game. In defence, Barbara Brown, Lauren Kennefick, Anne Keohane and Roisin O’ Shea made it very difficult for the Douglas forwards to score.   Ballygarvan Junior panel: Katie O’ Donovan, Anne Keohane, Barbara Brown, Davinia O’ Mahony, Francesca O’ Halloran, Lauren Kennefick, , Roisin O’ Shea, Laura O’ Callaghan, Denise Crowly, Valerie Brown, Kate O’ Sullivan, Suzanne Lynch, Aisling Byrne, Bernadette Keohane, Rosanne Byrne.  Roisin O’ Halloran for Francesca O’ Halloran(45 Min), Aine Walsh for Valerie Brown (50 Min).   Ballygarvan 2-7 v Ballinhassig 2-0 Ballygarvan Junior Shield panel: Katie O’ Donovan, Anne Keohane, Mary Coveney, Barbara Brown, Francesca O’ Halloran, Lauren Kennefick, Maeve Moynihan (0-3 f), Roisin O’ Shea, Laura O’ Callaghan,  Kate O’ Sullivan, Suzanne Lynch (1-5), Sarah Quilligan, Aisling Byrne, Bernadette Keohane,  Roisin O’ Halloran (0-1), Aine Walsh.
