SENIOR LADIES
Kilcummin will provide the opposition to our Senior ladies in the Bons Secours Junior B Championship final following a tightly contested semi final win over Castlegregory / Annauscaul . The game played at the coastal village in ideal conditions last Sunday afternoon would eventually be decided by a first half penalty, well dispatched by Ciara Randles. It gave the ladies a four point half time cushion, 1-5 to 0-4. The westerners pushed hard in the second half, even plundering a goal in the fiftieth minute , but the advantage was maintained throughout the second period courtesy of some smart finishing and stoic defending. The final against Kilcummin will be the latest meeting in the rivalry between the sides which has stretched over an extended period. Time, date and venue to be confirmed.
