Valleymount 4-13
Eoin Horkan
Laragh
The U14 shield is resting
comfortably in west Wicklow this year as Valleymount U14 girls were victorious
against Clan Na Gael at lunchtime on Sunday in Laragh.
The Valleymount forward unit produced
a performance worthy of winning any
county final with four of the six starters putting their name on the scoreboard
in this tie. It was full forward Emily Broe who began the scoring with a point
before her teammates Sophie Mooney and Emma Maguire gave there side an early
three point lead. Within minutes Maguire had doubled this lead with the first
goal of the game after a fine team move. The opposition responded with two
points from Emma Wylie and Keiten Barreto to narrow the gap between the sides.
This was just a slight reprieve as Valleymount pushed on till half time with
inside forwards Mooney and Broe to the fore. It was Broe who goaled next before
Mooney repeated the dose minutes later. In the final minutes of the half two
more white flags were raised as Broe fired over a dead ball before Mooney
finished her sides scoring.
It was more of the same in the
second half as Mooney and Maguire added more scores to their tally in the
opening minutes of the half. Clan Na Gael were finding it difficult to get the
ball inside the danger zone and any time they did it was full back Erika Mooney
who stood strong any time a ball came near her goal. As the half went on the
west Wicklow side were scoring at ease next to open her tally was wing forward
Maggie Sue Morris who slotted four points in between another goal from the
aforementioned Mooney. With ten minutes to go in this final Wylie narrowed the
gap every so slightly with a consolation score for her side. The final two
scores of the game were minors from that girl Mooney who ensured her side were
going to be victorious in this final.
