Trailing by 3 at the break 0-6 to 0-3, we goaled early in the second half to level the game. But despite the best efforts of our young team we just couldn’t get ahead and 2 second half goals for the visitors secured the spoils on a final score line of 2-9 to 1-10. Good luck to Athlone in the final v Rosemount Castledaly.

Ladies Football: 

Semi Final - Division 1 Minor Girls Football Championship 

Final Score The Downs 5-7 Killucan 2-6

After a tough number of group games this Down’s Minor team finally managed to reach some of their potential. We have a small squad and with some girls unavailable for this knock out game it was great to see the team settle into the match as quickly as they did with an opening goal straight from the throw in.

As our girls will confirm there is never an easy game when you play against an experienced team such as Killucan and this occasion proved to be no different. Although The Downs were leading 4-3 to 1-2 at half time you can never wright off this opposition and true to from Killucan started the 2nd half with a well taken goal.

When it gets to a knockout stage you need everyone to step up to the mark in every position and this our girls did. Our back line dealt effectively with continuous attacks from a fired up Killucan team.  The Downs have ability all over the pitch and from midfield through to our full forward line the spread of scores and teamwork to produce these was great to see. Now awaiting County Board confirmation of Final date & time.

Team on the day – Grace O Sullivan, Aine McManus, Jane Holton, Katie Moore, Roisin Murray, Lucy Power, Caoimhe Monaghan, Sheila McGrath, Megan Dowdall, Olivia Glynn, Ciara Faulkner, Katie Daly, Britney McNamee, Francesca Walsh, Rosaleen Daly, Lauren Guilfoyle, Gemma Faulkner
