Tyrrellspass played Moate last Wednesday evening at home in the Championship. Amy Alford opened the scoring for Tyrrellspass in the first few minutes of the game. Moate retaliated and scored a goal and a point in quick succession. Impressive saves form Tyrrellspass goalie Sarah Keegan and scores by Laura Gaye, Lisa Rigney, Nikki Feery and Niamh Malloy kept Tyrrellspass in the game against a determined Moate side. A goal scored from a well taken penalty awarded to Moate pushed them into the lead. Tyrrellspass now trailing by a point and with Nikki Feery sin binned a minuet before half time put Tyrrellspass at a disadvantage from the outset of the second half. The Moat team tried to create as much damage as possible now however the intense pressure form the backs forced several wides. This pressure was maintained by the home team allowing Moate to score only once in the second half. Scores by Nikki Feery, Lisa Rigney and Laura Gaye distanced the teams further turning the pressure on the away team. This pressure was intensified when a Moate player was sin binned for an illegal tackle. A goal created by Niamh Malloy and finished off by Amy Alford put Tyrrellspass in a more comfortable lead. More drama ensued when Jo-hanna Maher was injured in a foul off the ball and forced to leave the pitch. Emily Gavigan took her place and held up well until her return. With rejuvenated spirit Jo-hanna scored a point form a solo run. In the dying minutes of the game Ciara Scally put the ball in the back of the opponents net to ensure a win for the blues. Final score, Tyrrellspass 3-10, Moate 2-5. Teams now await the draw in early August to establish who they play next in the championship. Tyrrellspass team; Sarah Keegan, Avril Kane, Maggie O'Connor, Cliona Gallagher (Capt), Aoibha O'Reilly, Mary Deegan, Madeleine Chester, Lisa Rigney, Amy Alford, Alana O'Toole, Jo-hanna Maher, Laura Gaye, Niamh Malloy, Ciara Scally, Nikki Feery.
