Laurie and Lorna through to All-Ireland decider
WICKLOW footballers Laurie Ahern and Lorna Fusciardi have qualified for the All-Ireland Senior club final with their club Foxrock Cabinteely after a stunning late victory over Monaghan’s Donaghmoyne in beautiful Bray Emmets GAA grounds last weekend.
Substitute Roisin McGovern proved the match-winner for Foxrock-Cabinteely at the sundrenched north Wicklow venue as her late, late goal sent the Dublin and Leinster champions into their first All-Ireland Senior Ladies Club Football Final since 2016.
In a dramatic finish, the sides were level at 1-8 each when Donaghmoyne’s Cathriona McConnell was off-target with a free.
Fox-Cab swept to the other end of the pitch and McGovern fisted home a famous goal to send Pat Ring and Peter Clarke’s charges through to a final clash with Mourneabbey on December 8.
Lorna Fusciardi started this game and gave her all until the 45th minute, while Ahern was ready and waiting on the bench
