Ladies IFC: Lynch shines as Michaels book semi final spot

September 25, 2023

Alicia Curtis sets up a St. Michaels attack during the Ladies IFC game against Ratoath at Carlanstown

St. Michaels 2-09, Ratoath 0-04                                                         

Seona Lynch put in an excellent performance to ensure that St. Michaels got the job done against Ratoath in front of a large crowd in Carlanstown on Friday evening last and in doing so booked a place in the Kepak Meath Intermediate semi-final next weekend against Na Fianna. Lynch's personal tally of 1-4 outscored the entirety of Ratoath's output ensuring there was never any doubt surrounding her side's win.          

With six minutes played Lynch had hit two minors, one from play and one from a free to give her side a strong start, points flowed from Claire Reilly (1) and Alicia Curtis (2) before Ratoath registered their opener at the end of the first quarter. A goal apiece from Lynch and Marion Farrelly brought the game to half time with St. Michaels out in front by eight points.                                                                                             

St. Michaels ruthless streak did not subside in the third quarter as Farrelly (1) Lynch (2) and Sinead McCormack (1) all got on the scoreboard with one minor from play coming from the visitors.
This was an excellent all round team performance from St. Michaels who were full value for their victory.
