Junior Football....

Bride Rovers 7-12 St Colmans 0-6
We played St Colmans last Thursday night in a 13 a side A County Championship game. We went down unfortunately not knowing what to expect as we only had 12 players available to play due to injuries, sickness, holidays & other commitments. But in fairness to all the girls that lined out, they went out with the attitude that "we're here now, we'll give a go". And by God, did they do just that! In what can only be described as an epic performance from one and all, with some great passages of play & some cracking scores. Our defence were well on top throughout, with our forwards & midfielders linking up very well to create scores seemingly at their ease. In the end, we ran out easy winners in the end on a scoreline of 7-12 to 6pts.

Fermoy B are next up, so hopefully we can bring this momentum forward into that game & get a good result.

Team: Carol Noonan, Aine Cashman, Claire Murphy, Marieke (Meeks) Bardoul, Laura O'Keeffe, Karen Sheehan (0-1), Elaine Culloty (0-1), Imelda Dorgan (3-1), Aoife Deasy (0-2), Sarah Barry (3-6), Sinead O'Driscoll (1-1), Finola Hogan

Minor Football

Friday, August 9, Carrigtwohill

Carrigtwohill 0-7 Bride Rovers 3-22

Our minors continued their recent excellent form in the East Cork league when they had a comfortable win at Carrigtwohill last Friday night. Our first half performance, against the wind and the hill, laid the foundation for our win as we led 2-13 to 0-4 at the break. Our panel is strong which is just as well as we have accumulated a number of injuries recently. Hopefully, those will have cleared up before league playoff matches and county championship begins when everyone will be needed.

Match Panel : Aine Cashman, Aoife O Riordan, Mary Hazelwood (0-1), Emma Roche, Laura Quirke (1-1), Jessica Howard, Trish O'Sullivan (0-1), Grace Culloty (1-8), Karen Sheehan (0-1), Katie Connor (0-1), Meg Kelliher (0-2), Elaine Culloty (1-6), Aoife Deasy (0-1), Laura Pratt, Emma Barry, Grainne Noonan, Maria O'Sullivan, Emma Hazelwood, Claire Murphy

U16 Football
Our U16s travelled to Carrigaline last Tuesday to return a friendly fixture from earlier in the year. This was a very useful outing for the U16 panel who had not played together as a group for a few weeks, as they prepare for upcoming East Cork playoff matches and county championship..
