Bray Emmetts 1-4

St Pats Wicklow 2-3

Ashford Gaa Club

Eoin Horkan

St Pats come out on top in a highly entertaining u14 final in Ashford at lunchtime Saturday.

Bray flew out of the blocks early in this game getting a goal from one of their first attacks of the game through Nancy Harty who showed composure to finish into the net from close range. St Pats responded moments later with a goal from a penalty from Millie Phelan. With defences on top scores were at a premium. The final score before the first break was a point from the boot of Niamh Redmond. After the break Pats launched attacks on the goal. This led to a white flag from Ella Lyons, before a goal bound effort from Millie Leonard was deflected into the net. The Emmetts got two points before half time from Melanie Lawlor and Redmond again.

The 2nd half of this game was a tight tense affair with very little scoring. Pats last two white flags of the game came from Phelan before Hannah Lawless got her name to the scorers. Kimberly Kennedy slotted a dead ball for Bray. With the last attack of the game Bray won a spot kick, which if they had scored would have given them the win. The kick was saved well by Wicklow keeper Ella Murphy. Who was her team’s hero in the last play of the game.
