Cork Ladies Inching Towards Another Title

Cork Ladies Inching Towards Another Title

Cork’s Inch Rovers take on Dublin’s Naomh
Mearnóg/St Sylvesters in the Vhi Healthcare All Ireland Intermediate
Club Championship at Nowlan Park, Kilkenny this Sunday.

Inch Rovers will look to their two 2006 All Stars Angela Walsh
and Mary O’Connor to give them the edge and they will also
be able to call on Ciara Walsh who won a Senior All Ireland medal
with Cork in early October.

Inch destroyed Cooraclare in the Munster Intermediate final and
then had a comfortable ten point win over Parnells of London in
the semi-finals of the All Ireland Club championships.

Syls/Mearnóg had an impressive win over Fermanagh and Ulster
Champs Lisnaskea to book their place in the final. The northsiders
doggedly defended a first half lead, playing into a strong wind
with two players in the bin in the second half and emerged with
a ten point win.

They will be able to count on the services of Dublin’s sole
2006 All Star nominee Sinead Aherne, who notched up 1-02 against
the Ernesiders. But Inch will also have to pay close attention to
Karen Kennedy, Deirdre McGill and Katie Slattery who contributed
a combined 2-10 to the scoreboard against Lisnaskea.

In the replay of the Vhi Healthcare All Ireland Junior Club Championship
final Emyvale of Monaghan will hope that they can finish off the
job this time round against the resilient Kildare outfit Eadestown
at Pearse Park in Longford.

Ciara McAnespie, Ulster’s Young Player of the Year, hit the
net twice for the Farney women last week and she will be a major
threat again this week to Eadestown’s chances of snatching
glory.
