Senior A Camogie Championship Round 2

The senior team lost to Courcey Rovers in the second round of the championship by the narrowest of margins last Wednesday. Playing against a very strong wind, Ballygarvan found it very hard to get beyond midfield. However, with excellent work from our defence, they conceded only 3 points from play in the first half, while Emmer Dillon (2) and Catriona Kelly (1) got three points for Ballygarvan. Four well-taken frees from Courcey’s Cork Senior player Rachel Moloney left our girls 4 points behind Courcey’s 7 at half time.

Whereas Courceys scored only 2 points from frees in the second half, their defence proved very hard to penetrate. Lorraine Brown opened our second half scoring with a long range free after 10 minutes. Ballygarvan piled on the pressure and Emmer Dillon got her third point of the game, which was closely followed by a point from Aisling Byrne. Catriona Kelly and Lorraine Brown pointed again before the end of normal time.  In the five minutes of extra time the girls fought really hard to get an equaliser and were very unlucky not to be awarded a free on a number of occasions that might have extended their championship campaign.

Ballygarvan 0-8; Courcey Rovers 0-9

25th June 2010

The senior team continued their league campaign with a tough game against Ballincollig. Like their previous matches there was very little between the two sides throughout this match with Ballygarvan leading by a goal at half time. In the second half, the girls were very unlucky when two goal chances by Sara O’Donovan and Rebecca Murphy were stopped by the Ballincollig keeper.
