Minor champions

The Kilbeggan/St. Joseph's girls' minor team take pride of place this week after powering to a 5-13 to 2-8 victory over Loughnavalley in their delayed 2016 county final at The Downs on Sunday.

The team gave retiring mentors Mickey Kelly and Nicky McCormack the perfect parting gift after their many years of dedication and hard work with the underage set-up. This was the club's fifth minor championship win in-a-row and fellow mentors Noel Robbins, Myra Pettit and Eimear Fox also deserve praise for their role in the success.

Team: Nikki Uminiski; Edwina Scally, Tara Dennehy, Orla Robbins; Jennifer Barrett, Rebecca Scally, Emma Reid; Ellie Conway, Anna Wrafter; Aine Pettit, Aoibhin Jackson, Sinead Robbins; Karen Keegan, Rebecca Ennis, Lisa McCormack. Subs: Roisin Kiely, Leah Farrell, Roisin Killian, Davina Kelly, Maria Ward, Aideen McMahon and Lauryn McDonnell.
