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.
