Aghaderg v Kilcoo
Date Filed: 18 May 2017
Aghaderg Senior Camogie team welcomed Kilcoo to Ballyvarley
this Wednesday evening for their first home game.
With a 7:15pm start, Kilcoo quickly gained possession in a
taste of what was to be the tone of the match. The first free for Kilcoo went
wide but they were not to be denied long as a point soon followed that saw them
first on the scoreboard. Despite the hard efforts of Paula Priestly and Katie
Lennon in the defensive line and Andrea Fletcher in goals, Kilcoo gained a few
more points before a free taken by Sinead Brackenbury saw Aghaderg take their
first point. Another free for Aghaderg went just wide of its mark.
Aghaderg continued to battle in front of the Kilcoo goals
but were unable to restrain their quick opponents, who were simply able to eat
the distance of the pitch faster than the home team. Kilcoo widened their lead
with a number of goals and points before the whistle was blown, and the first
half of the match came to an end.
Half Time: Aghaderg 0-1, Kilcoo 5-8
The second half began the same as the first with Kilcoo
gaining possession and soon had obtained the first point of the second
half.
As the half progressed Kilcoo did
miss a number of chances, with good defending and goalkeeping forcing their hand
on a number of occasions. Aghaderg began to create more opportunities but were
denied until a strong run with the ball from Sarah Malone gave Aghaderg their
second point, and within a few minutes the match was over.
It was a hard fought for Aghaderg Senior Camogie but
unfortunately they were beaten by a more dominant Kilcoo.
