Nuacht Uladh - Report on Trudi Kierans Tournament

The Trudi Kierans cup and shield tournament
for inter-county U16 teams was played in Truagh
on Saturday last. After two rounds of the
cup competition each of the four teams had
won a game each. Their third round robin games
then doubled as semi finals. In the first
of the semi’s Cavan led Donegal by a single
point at half time, however the Tir Chonnail
girls turned in an excellent second half performance
to win 3-5 to 2-1. The other semi final between
Monaghan and Tyrone finished level at full
time 2-6 each. Tyrone went on to win the tie
3-8 to 2-8 after extra time. In the second
half Natasha Ferris opened the scoring with
a point however when Antrim’s Clare Tomelty
found the net, the Down players started to
get a little edgy. Antrim’s corner forward
Cathy Keeley hit two lovely goals but when
a big performance was needed Kyla Treanor
delivered. The Down captain scored another
1-2 to give her side a single point win.
