HQ Physio Senior Camogie Championship Roundup

This weekend saw three matches in the third round of this year's HQ Physio Senior Championship take place and in Coolderry on Saturday evening Naomh Brid played Lusmagh/Drumcullen in a clash of two teams looking for their first win in the competition.

In an exciting start to the game Naomh Brid quickly went ahead with a point for Grace Teehan when she popped over a free.  A minute later a free was awarded to Lusmagh/Drumcullen and Grainne Kennedy shot it to the net to give her team a great start but Naomh Brid replied immediately when the experienced Valerie Meagher replied in kind.  Two quick placed balls converted by Leah Gath restored the lead for Lusmagh/Drumcullen but a point from Grace Teehan quickly levelled proceedings.  Teehan was always going to be the danger woman for the home team and she proved this minutes later when she found the net to put Naomh Brid ahead by a goal.  It was followed by the placed ball experts for both teams exchanging a brace of points and with half time approaching a point from Orlagh Phelan put 4 points between the teams.  Two quick Naomh Brid goals courtesy of Teehan and Valerie Meagher getting her second of the day left the half time score reading 4-5 to 1-5.

The second half proved to be somewhat one sided and Naomh Brid controlled the scoring, primarily coming from Grace Teehan placed balls as they ran out comfortable winners on a score line of 4-14 to 1-8.

Elsewhere in the Championship, St Cillians returned to winning ways when they overcame Birr by 3 points in St Brendan's Park while in Tullamore the homeside pipped Kilcormac/Killoughey by a point to leave Kilcormac/Killoughey bottom of the table with Lusmagh/Drumcullen.
