Fingallians 3-06 Na Fianna 5-07

The Na Fianna Ladies Football team travelled to Swords to play the Dublin Intermediate Champions Fingallians in Lawless Park, Swords.  

While the home side got an early goal, the Na Fianna girls settled well and a goal from Maire Kirby saw the Na Fianna girls lead 1 – 6 to 1-3 at half time.

The Swords girls were back in the game after ten minutes of the restart with a well taken goal.  However, the next five minutes defined Na Fianna’s character. A goal from Shauna Ennis immediately after the Fingallians goal and a penalty save by keeper Caroline Gallagher set the Na Fianna girls on their way. 

Goals from Deirdre Flynn; Emma Regan and Sophia Payne saw the Na Fianna girls run out winners on a scoreline of 5 – 7 to 3 – 6. Na Fianna play Suncroft (Kildare) in the Leinster LGFA semi final in Baconstown next Saturday 4th November 2023.

Na Fianna: Caroline Gallagher; Aedin Slattery; Claire Coffey; Hazel Geraghty; Aileen Flynn; Eimear Fagan; Sophia Payne (1-0); Katie Queeney; Emma Regan (1-1); Deirdre Flynn (1-0); Meabh Downey (0-2); Kerrie Cole; Maire Kirby (1-1); Shauna Ennis (1-2); Leah Devine (0-1).

On Saturday 28th Oct the County Senior Camogie Champions took on the Kildare Champions Naas in the Leinster Intermediate Championship quarter final in Baconstown going through to a Leinster semi final as well.

This is an special achievement for the club particularly as 10 players were involved in both codes over the weekend.
