To get ready for this game An Riocht played Ballyholland at Dunavil on Sunday past. Ballyholland will play in the Camogie Shield Final next weekend. Ballyholland made much the better start and led 1-3 to nil before Laura Carvill pulled a goal back before the break. An Riocht improved greatly on the restart with Nicole Kelly hand passing a goal and Sarah Carvill scoring a hat trick. Orla McAlinden and Beth Farrell added goals apiece to leave the final score 7-0 to 3-3 in favour of the home team. Thanks to Ballyholland for the run out and to Pat Baldwin for his assistance.
