KILLARNEY CAMOGIE CLUB

UNDER 12 TEAM MAKE HISTORY

Last Sunday night in Crotta O’ Neills GAA pitch our under 12 team made history by winning the A county title for the first time in the clubs history. On the night we defeated our North Kerry rivals Cillard on a scoreline of 4-03 to 3-00. Killarney won the toss and played with the aid of a strong wind in the first half. After a slow start we grew into the game and had the better of things and led at half time by a score of 2-02 to 1-00. Cillard came strong early in the second half and at the midway point of the second half the gap was only 2 points. However, our girls regained their composure, struck 2 goals and defended like demons to see out an historic victory.

Team and scorers on the night, Maggie Hickey, Yasmin O’ Brien (2-0), Eabha Lynch, Kathryn Ryan, Heather Culloty, Hannah Ryan, Allanah Holohan (1-0), Megan Gillespie, Anne Hickey (captain) (1-3), Ava Moore, Niamh Cantillon, Faye O’ Carroll and Gloria Ratto. Trainers were Ceara Moore, Mark Moore, Paul O’ Brien and Fergal O’ Carroll.

We were well supported on the night by other age grade players, parents and grandparents. Club colours were proudly on display and our fans were hoarse from shouting support.

To all the players, trainers, club mentors and parents, a massive thank you from the club for all the effort put in over the course of the year.

It was certainly worth it when the final whistle sounded last Sunday.
