Cumann na mBunscol: Late goals seal Division 2 title for Kilcloon

Scoil Oilibhéir Naofa, Kilcloon defeated Gaelscoil na Cille Cill Dhéagláin in the Girls Division 2 final at Stamullen

Scoil Oilibhéir Naofa, Kilcloon 4-4 Gaelscoil na Cille, Cill Dhéagláin 1-8

Kilcloon left it late to make up for losing last year's final at Ashbourne, recording a five-point win over last year's Division 3 winners, Gaelscoil na Cille, Cill Dhéagláin, in this highly entertaining Girls Division 2 decider at Stamullen.

Juliet Naughton gave the winners a great start with a goal, but Gaelscoil na Cille hit back with points from Robyn Nic Giolla Phádraig and Sadhbh Nic Giolla Ruaidh before taking the lead through a Belle Ní Raghaillaigh goal.

Naughton and Isla Staunton raised white flags for Kilcloon, but Ní Raghaillaigh had the last say of the half to give her side a 1-3 to 1-2 interval lead.

Ní Raghaillaigh and Nic Giolla Phádraig increased that advantage with early second-half points.

Scoil Oilibhéir Naofa were back on level terms thanks to a Hannah Jones goal, but with eight minutes remaining, Gaelscoil na Cille had opened up a two-point lead following fine scores from Nic Giolla Ruaidh (2) and Ní Raghaillaigh.

Liadha Dolan made it a one-point game and a draw looked on the cards, but Kilcloon had other ideas.

Two quick-fire goals from Staunton and Jones sealed a memorable victory for the Shauna Ennis and Megan Heffernan-coached outfit.

After the game, former Meath captain and Kilcloon coach Shauna Ennis presented the Division 2 Cup to Frances Anna Ferris.
