U12 GIRLS
Last Tuesday evening our girls hosted Laune Rangers in the second round of The Co. League, Division 2 in Ballyrickard.
Laune Rangers got off to a great start when their big midfield star scored 2 great goals with her strong accurate left foot before we responded with a pointed free from Aoibhin MacCarthy.
We were playing a bigger and stronger team, however we managed to put 2 more points on the board before Killorglin responded with a third goal to make the score 3-0 to 0-3 at the half time whistle.
In the second half Killorglin were playing with the breeze and it was not long before they added a fourth goal to their tally. The odds did not look good now for the Strand Road girls however they continued to battle and were awarded a free which Aoibhin MacCarthy blasted to the roof of the net reducing the lead to 6 points again. This marked the start of the comeback for The Blues as we scored another point and they responded with their first and final point to make the score 4-1 to 1-04.
Laune Rangers would not score again. Aoibhin MacCarthy took a pass on the 13m line and sent a low hard shot to the back of the net. We now trailed by only 3 points and the fight back was in full swing. We began to dominate around the middle as Killorglin tired. We kicked 4 more points in the last ten minutes coming from Kelly Fitzgerald, Lauren Doody
(0-1) and Aoibhin MacCarthy …
When the final whistle blew there was great excitement as players and parents alike were overjoyed with the magnificent comeback on the night. The joy was palpable, it was truly a great win. There were great performances all round especially from Millie O’ Brien in goal who pulled off some great saves , Ava Ward, from Rachel Foley ( capt.) , Saoirse MacCarthy and Lauren Doody in the backs , from Sophie Hassett, Ella O’ Connor and Kelly Fitzgerald (0-3) upfront and especially Aoibhin MacCarthy (2-4) who was our top scorer. Final score: Kerins O’Rahillys 2-08, Laune Rangers 4-01.
