By Joe Kennefick        Tuesday 2nd September 2008 Ballygarvan 4-12          Glen Rovers 1-04 Ballygarvan Under 16 Camogie Team easily defeated a robust Glen Rovers team in the Glen Field Tonight. Ballygarvan, aided by the breeze were rocked when a scramble in the goalmouth led to a scrappy goal for the Glen in the 9th minute. Ballygarvan upped their performance straight away and 4 points from Aishling Byrne from placed balls between the 13th and 20th minute left them a point ahead.Glen Rovers had a point from a free in the 22nd minute before 2 goals from Rachel Keohane in the 28th and 33rd minute, the second a rocket from 30 yards, and a beauty of a point from the wing by Aishling Byrne left Ballygarvan 2-05 to 1-01 ahead at the break. At this stage Rebecca Murphy had left the field with a knee injury and Sarah Quilligan was lucky to be able to continue after a rash pull across her hand. Turning to face a stiff wind the second half promised to be a real battle for Ballygarvan, but a superb second half display from Ballygarvan, and some wayward shooting from Glen Rovers meant that the result was never in doubt. Rebecca Murphy had 2 points before Ciara White found the net after a goalmouth scramble put Ballygarvan well in control before Glen Rovers had their only 3 points of the half by the 15th minute. 3 Further points from Ashling Byrne, and 1 each from Christina and Rebecca Murphy left Ballygarvan well in control before Ciara White flicked home a goal to end the rout. With Katie O Donovan very safe in goal, and ably assisted by Laura O Callaghan, Lorraine Browne, Ann Keohane and Lauren Kennefick in defence, Ballygarvan coasted to victory. Maeve Moynihan and Christina Murphy were at this stage in total control of midfield, while further up the field the foreward line was really starting to cut loose, with Aishling Byrne,Sarah Quilligan, Rachel Keohane and Rebecca Murphy showing all their experience, Ballygarvan marched foreward to the next round. At the final whistle delighted coach Michael Moynihan said We are on our way. Scorers Aishling Byrne 0-08,Rachel Keohane 2-00,Ciara White 2-00,Rebecca Murphy 0-03,Christina Murphy 0-01 Ballygarvan, Katie O Donovan,Ann Keohane,Laura O Callaghan,Mary Coveney,Lauren Kennefick,Lorraine Browne,Ciara White,Maeve Moynihan,Christina Murphy,Aine Walsh,Aishling Byrne,Sarah Quilligan,Roisin O Halloran,Rachel Keohane,Rebecca Murphy.  Subs Used  Alison Kelleher,Caitriona Keohane
