MUNSTER CHAMPIONS!!!!
All roads led to Mallow today as our senior footballers faced off against Kinsale community college in the Munster Plate Final. For those in attendance they were handsomely rewarded for their journey with a game for the ages as our St Annes stars battled tooth and nail to win by 3 points. This game had everything, fantastic scores, super tackles, yellow cards and an amazing save.
We started fast and had the first 3 attacks but the Kinsale defence held firm. Indeed they broke up the field to register the first score, this was the trend for the first half with our shooting letting us down and they're accuracy keeping them in touch despite our dominance of possession. 1-7 apiece the half time score. In the second half our shooting improved and we stole a march going 3 clear through points from Millie, Roisin and Kate O Shea before Chloe scored a brilliant individual goal. We seemed to be cruising before a harsh yellow card to Maeve put our backs to the wall. But the girls managed the ten minutes very well only conceding 1-1 with Alayna making an amazing save from point blank range. It was backs to the wall stuff for the last 10 mins with the girls desire and determination evident through the tackling and turnovers they won including a great block by Jessie as Kinsale threw everything at us. When Lily caught another goal bound effort the referee had seen enough and blew the full time whistle upon which our fabulous supporters invaded the pitch. It was a fantastic game played with great spirit by both teams. There were some exceptional individual performances all over field but the teams work ethic was phenomenal and deserved to be rewarded. Well done to the whole panel, everyone has played their part throughout the year. Our final match is in a few weeks as we hope to retain the Rachel Kenneally cup in the county final.
