LGFA Donal Curtin Cup Final Dr Crokes senior ladies made history on Monday last when they competed in the Division 1 Donal Curtin Cup for the first time ever. We were dealt an early blow with the loss of the ever-reliable Liz Moloney through injury after just 6 minutes. The open quarter was a cagey affair with both teams making several errors and it took until the 14th minute for Amanda Brosnan to open the scoring, soon followed by a pointed free from Rheanne O'Shea. Na Gael opened their scoring with a goal after 17 minutes but they were finding it difficult to breakthrough our defence, led by Karena O’Leary, Megann Kiely and Siobhan Burns. Further points from Treasa O Sullivan, Amanda Brosnan, Siobhan Burns and Rheanne O Shea and a great finish to the net from Seodhna O Donoghue, saw us lead by 1.7 to 1.1 approaching half time. However, a second Na Gael goal just before half team saw us lead by just three at the break. Na Gael reduced the deficit to 2 points shortly after the restart but we quickly settled and Lillie Foley, Ali O Donoghue and Siofra Randles defended superbly, making some crucial tackles and turnovers. A brilliantly worked team move which started with goalkeeper Ava Sheehan, who was outstanding throughout, worked its way up to Leah Mc Mahon who finished to the net. Then came the score of the game. Christine Cooper took possession on our own 45 metre line and weaved through the Na Gael defence, shaking off several tackles, before unleashing an unstoppable shot to the bottom left hand corner of the net, giving us a 3.8 to 1.3 lead. With Julie Delaney and Casey O Donoghue linking well between defence and attack, we closed out the game with further scores from Amanda Brosnan, leading to a first ever division 1 ladies title at senior level. In her winning speech, captain Siobhan Burns passed on thoughts and sympathies to the family of the late Isabelle O Callaghan.
