Fermanagh Ladies Claim Ulster Crown

TG4 ULSTER INTERMEDIATE FINAL

Fermanagh 4-13 Antrim 1-6

A tally of 3-7 from Fermanagh Ladies captain Caroline Little helped her side to their fourth Ulster intermediate crown. It was Antrim who made the early running and the Saffrons took a two point lead and it was not until the 16th minute before Fermanagh opened their account. In the second quarter we had three goals and a sin binning. Either side of a brace from Caroline Little, Claire Timoney found the net and Paula Matherson received a yellow card (24th minute). Despite their slow start the Fermanagh ladies were the happier side at the break and went to the dressing rooms leading 2-5 to 1-4.

Fermanagh were supreme in the second half. Lynne Mc Fredrick and Little added further majors while all Antrim could manage were a couple of points which didn’t arrive until late on. It was no surprise that Caroline Little was named player of the match. Fermanagh will be back in action on August 22nd against the winners of Offaly and Longford while for Antrim it’s the qualifiers against Wexford on 8th August.
