On Wednesday 2nd October our under 13
girls travelled to Monroe for their Cumann na mBunscoil 7 a side blitz.
Our first game was against Ballyneale NS who took
an early lead in the first half. The
girls battled hard in the second half and made a great comeback with scores
from Amy Burns, Aoibhinn Rice and Maria Croke, running out as eventual winners
on a scoreline of 3-7 to 1-2.
The second game was against Lisronagh NS. Our girls were out of the blocks very quickly
in this game, giving us some early scores from Amy, Aoibhinn and Maria. They continued in this form throughout the
game, adding more great scores. The game
finished on a scoreline of 5-8 to 2-1 in favour of our girls.
Having won section one of the blitz, we then faced
Cloneen NS in the blitz final. In this
game we started well with Amy putting away a few early goals and went in at
half time leading by 1-1. At the
beginning of the second half, Cloneen hit us with a few quick goals which we
just could not pull back. Our girls
never gave up and Aoibhinn, Amy and Kellyann added some more well worked
scores. The game finished Cloneen NS 8-4
Our Lady’s NS 5-2.
Throughout the entire blitz, our girls really did
themselves proud, showing some great skill both in defence and in attack aswell
as a fantastic workrate and team spirit!
