Kickhams Creggan 3-06
Moneyglass 3-13

A quick glance at this scoreline would suggest that the Creggan Senior Ladies were well beaten by Moneyglass in this league game. Ok, the score doesn't lie, but it certainly doesn't tell the full tale of this match. In truth, the amount of wides that the home girls kicked could have won two games and they definately could have come away with the league points from this match.

Creggan only managed to kick two scores in the opening half and it took them until the 25th minute to register on the scoreboard at all, but they must have shot about 12 wides in the opening period. In stark contrast, the visitors more or less converted every chance that came their way registering 3-06 in the first half. Creggan's scores came from Danielle Kelly and an Anne McKee goal.
 

Moneyglass continued where they left off in the second half by tagging on another point on 31 mins. Ruby Marie Rice though replied for Creggan a minute later but the visitors went up the field and pointed again. A great chance presented Kickhams ladies to reduce the deficit when they were awarded a penalty, but unfortunately this opportunity was passed up by Roisin O'Boyle who had her effort saved. Roisin made some amends 2 minutes later however by firing a shot over the bar.

Anne McKee got her name on the scoresheet again with her second goal of the match but Moneyglass ruthlessly answered back with four points in a row. Creggan then had a period of dominance for the final 10 minutes of the match when Roisin O'Boyle, Eimer Kelly and Shannon Graham all raised white flags and Anita McAuley found the net. Unfortunately for the girls it proved to be too little too late after leaving themselves too much ground to catch up on from the first half.

So it's back to the training pitch for this talented bunch, with some shooting practice the order of the day as that was the only difference between the teams.
