A strong second half showing from John the Baptist Community School paved the way for this All Ireland Post Primary Senior D Camogie Championship final success over Scoil Mhuire at St Lomans Trim.

John the Baptist CS Limerick 3-10 Scoil Mhiure Trim 1-8

The Limerick school were first on the scoreboard but the home team stormed into the game and led 1-4 to 0-1 after 15 minutes with points from Leah Dennehy, Katie Mulvihill, Leah Devine and 1-1 from centre forward Caroline McLoughlin Quinn. 

Slowly the visitors began to dominate the remainder of the half. Player of the match Anna Rose Kennedy led the way with three points before Caitlin Kennedy and Emma Morrissey got in for goals to give John the Baptist a 2-5 to 1-5 lead with seven minutes remaining.

Trim fought back and a brace from McLoughlin Quinn narrowed the gap to the minimum but just before the half time whistle John the Baptist got in for a crucial third goal. Andrea O'Sullivan found the Trim net to send her team in at the break 3-5 to 1-7 in front.

The Limerick school dominated the second half and limited Scoil Mhuire to few chances in the opening twenty minutes. O'Sullivan (2), Katie Heelan and Kennedy (2) extended their lead. Scoil Mhuire had to wait till the final minutes for their only score of the half. Caroline McLoughlin Quinn pointed after a period of sustained pressure.

Amazingly the two schools will meet again in the All-Ireland Post Primary Schools Junior D final next week in Limerick.
