UNDER 13 GIRLS VICTORIUS

Cornafean ladies achieved their first underage football title on Tuesday evening last in Kilnaleck , defeating a gallant KillInkere team in the league final on a scoreline Cornafean 5 goals 2 points to Killinkere 's 3 goals -3 points . In a game of open football , great effort and endeavour on both teams parts and missed chances mixed with some fine scores this game kept the crowd on the edge of their seats till the very end . Cornafean started well and had an early goal from Megan Johnston and a point from Amy Wharton. Killinkere hit back with a goal and it was at this stage Killinkere began imposing themselves on the game but some poor shooting would cost them dearly. The reds full back line of Shauna Mccaffrey and Roisin Barry and the never say die attitude of Amy Wharton in the middle kept Cornafean in the game when Killinkere threatened to overrun them . Half time Cornafean 1-1 to Killinkere 1 goal .

On the restart it was all the east cavan team again with the quick points but Cornafean kept in touch with a lucky deflected goal from an Amy Wharton shot . Killinkere imposed themselves on proceedings again and their physical superiority seemed to be telling when they banged in two quick goals and went 5 points clear with less than 10 mins left on the clock. A well struck penalty from Amy Wharton kept Cornafean in touch after Amy O' Reilly was fouled . With some positional switches from the Cornafean management team and the never say die attitude of the girls they set about reducing the defecit by going all out for the last few minutes and were justly rewarded when Deirbhile Mccaffrey scored two great goals in quick succession to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat . A final point from captain Amy Wharton saw the reds win by 5 points and send the Cornafean supporters home happy.
