Malahide Girls win Leinster Schools
- Mar 07,2009
Scoil Iosa, Malahide 5-13 Presentation De La Salle, Bagenalstown 4-9
Congratulations to the Scoil Iosa Senior Girls Team on winning the Leinster C Final on Friday afternoon in Newbridge.
The game was worthy of the occasion and full credit to both sides on serving up a most entertaining contest. The Malahide girls led 1-8 to 2-3 at the break but the Carlow girls fought back strongly in the second half to put the game into 20 minutes extra time. Two quick goals in the final 5 minutes secured the win and put the girls into an All Ireland Semi Final.
Overall this was a very fine team performance played in difficult underfoot conditions. Team Captain and Player of the Match, Niamh McEvoy accepted the winning trophy on behalf of the team.
Congratulations also to mentor Dermot Washington for having the girls well prepared on the day.
Well done to one and all on getting thus far in the competition.
