First Feile Crown for Plunketts ER
- Apr 15,2013
Division Four
St Oliver Plunkett's Eoghan Ruadh 0-6
St Anne's 0-1
A five-star second half performance saw St Oliver Plunkett's Eoghan Ruadh storm to victory in the division four Feile final.
It broke a first half deadlock after the sides had contested a tight, cagey opening quarter hour that ended 0-1 each.
Sinead O'Brien kicked the first point with a tidy effort, cleaning up the scraps after a goalmouth scramble. Anne's responded though with a very nice score of their own as Lauren Riordan twisted one way and then the next before turning onto her right foot and clearing the bar.
It left the tie very much in the mix but Plunkett's came out firing in the second period with Alison Burke putting her side back in the lead.
Orla Martin was proving an elusive presence throughout and she tagged on two points that her performance deserved.
Her first used the wind to great effect while the second owed much to Zoe Couch's long run and pass. In between Martin's pair, Ann McSweeny caught a high ball and powered over while Burke closed out the scoring with her side's fifth point of the half to cap a brilliant display.
