Intermediate Championship
Caulry 3-6 St Joseph’s 1-9
Caulry got their ladies intermediate championship champaign off to a winning start on Thursday last in Kilbeggan. In a very competitive but sporting contest, both sides gave everything in pursuit of victory in thrilling end to end match with Caulry’s greater teamwork shading the issue.
The swirling breeze made scoring difficult and St Joseph’s led 0-5 to 0-3 at the interval with a great penalty save from Jade Harney keeping Caulry well in contention.
Caulry were quickly into their stride on the resumption and a great team move was flicked to the net by Aishling Gaynor. The game continued at championship pace with points exchanged before a training ground move was finished with Aine Gaynor netting. When Aine netted her second major, there was daylight between the teams for the first time. However, the opposition replied with a goal of their own to set up a close finish. When Caulry were awarded a penalty which went wide, they then had to repel a final Joseph’s attack in a frantic finish.
