COUNTY LEAGUE DIVISION 4 FINAL Fossa 4-11 Clounmacon/Moyvane 3-4
FOSSA were too slick for a battling Clounmacon/Moyvane side in John Mitchels complex last Sunday. The young Killarney side had stand out performances all through the field with Maud Kelly, Anna O’Reilly Anna Clifford, Shelly Clifford and Erika McGlynn the pick of what was an excellent team effort. Fossa did the main damage in the first half and led by 2-6 to 0-2 at the break.
Clounmacon/Moyvane did have a right go of it in the second period and 2 goals by substitute Ciara Haugh gave them a glimmer of hope as Erin Finucane, Louise Horgan and Muirne Wall (who won the U-18 provincial rugby championship the previous day with Munster), kept the fight going for their side.
Fossa had the better balance overall however and were deserving 10-point winners.
