The Corkman

Fun day out for Macroom Ladies up in Croke Park

- With John Delea jdelea@corkman.ie

THEY’VE been enjoying great success on the pitch of late but on Sunday they took a well earned break as a large group from Macroom LGFC travelled to Croke Park for the 2018 All-Ireland Ladies Football Final

It was an early start and they arrived in Croke Park during the first half of the Intermedia­te final and took their seats high up in the Cusack Stand which got everyone ready for the big match.

They had a great view of the pitch and the weather stayed dry for the game and there was even a bit of sunshine as well. The girls cheered the Cork ladies on but unfortunat­ely it wasn’t their day and Dublin were deserving winners.

Meanwhile, Macroom’s Ladies U-16 will play the long-awaited Summer League final versus Bishopstow­n on Sunday next, September 23, in Grenagh.

This fixture was postponed due to the Junior Cert. This will be a repeat of the recent Championsh­ip semi-final clash when Macroom defeated Bishopstow­n in Bishopstow­n to secure their place in the final. This should be a tough match but the new County Champions are well up for the challenge.

A date for the diary, Macroom Ladies Football is holding a Ladies Late Lunch fundraiser in the Castle Hotel on September 28, from 7pm onwards. This includes a champagne reception, three course meal, wine, fashion show, spot prizes and lots of guaranteed craic on the night. Tickets €50 each.
