Coolmeen win Clare Ladies Minor B Final 2007 Clare Ladies Minor B Final Venue: Coolmeen Referee: Michael Fitzgerald Coolmeen 5 – 6 Kilmihil 2 – 4 Pre-match favourites Coolmeen justified their supporter’s confidence with a strong display of football that their opponents Kilmihil simply could not match on the day. Commanding displays, especially from Sinéad Moloney, Rachel Marrinan, Eimear O’Connor and Emer Green, meant that Kilmihil were always playing second fiddle to their near neighbours. Apart from Ailish Considine’s opening point on five minutes Kilmihil had very little else to cheer about as Coolmeen set about their task with clinical efficiency. First half goals from Sinéad Moloney and Niamh O’Connell were added to by points from Moloney, Eimear O’Connor (3) and Leanne Normoyle to give Coolmeen a commanding 2-5 to 0-1 interval lead. Kilmihil did make a better game of it in the second half but had no answer to the scoring prowess of county U-16 star Sinéad Moloney who helped herself to another two second half goals to complete her hat trick. Another U-16 county star Eimear O’Connor also added another Coolmeen goal during this period. Goals win matches and Kilmihil simply could not find the net as frequently as their rivals and although Ailish Considine and Ellie O’Gorman did raise two second half green flags for the girls in green and gold it was simply a matter of too little too late as Coolmeen had inflicted critical damage with their first half display. Ailish Considine also had two second half points for the losers and her sister Eimear also raised a white flag. Emer Green also got on the scoresheet for the winners with a well taken point. Thus at the final whistle Coolmeen were deserving 5-6 to 2-4 winners. The large home support were delighted with their teams win and there was great celebration when county board chairman Johnny Hayes presented captain Ciara Cleary with the winning trophy.
