Tyrone Ladies club championship round-up Errigal to challenge Carrickmore for Senior crown Aodh Ruadh 2-5 Errigal Ciaran 0-13 Errigal Ciaran won through to the Senior decider courtesy of a two-point victory over Aodh Ruadh last Friday night. Young star Sarah Connolly was the hero for Errigal with nine points of her sides total, with two superbly struck free kicks from over 35 metres pushing her side ahead in injury time. Substitute Caroline Kelly, who carried an injury into the tie, looked to have swung the tie in Aodh Ruadh’s favour with two second half goals, but Errigal continued to press with the returning Siobhan Mc Garvey driving her side forward at every opportunity. Selena Oguz also made a somewhat surprise appearance late on and her introduction gave renewed vigour to the Errigal attack. But for three point-blank saves from Martina Dillon, Aodh Ruadh could have been further behind at the half time break, as she kept the Errigal attack at bay. Aodh Ruadh lacked that killer edge, and in the end were pushed out by their hungrier opponents who also had key performers in full-back Kelly Marie Mc Crory, midfielder Rosaleen Mc Garvey and stalwart Claire Mc Garvey at full forward. With Briege Mc Garvey and Nuala Mc Garvey yet to return to the fray, Errigal will enter the final with confidence after missing out on last years decider. Having taken the notable scalp of Aodh Ruadh, this could well be the year when they finally make their long-awaited breakthrough at senior level. Teams & Scorers Errigal Ciaran: Carmel Mc Conville, Julia Mallon, Kelly Marie Mc Crory, Niamh Kelly, Siobhan Mc Garvey, Claire Mc Cann, Shannon Quinn, Rosaleen Mc Garvey, Louise Loughran, Ann Mallon (0-1), Sarah Connolly (0-9, 7 frees), Petrina Tierney, Laura Mc Cann (0-2), Claire Mc Garvey (0-1), Donna Quinn Subs Used: Selena Oguz Aodh Ruadh: Martina Dillon, Bernie Small, Eva Mc Crory, Niamh Kelly, Ellana Arthurs, Caroline Mc Grath, Lisa Mc Alliskey, Mary Cassidy, Anna Rae, Carol Mc Glinchey, Frankie Parks, Trisha Morgan, Claire Mc Alliskey, Katrina Murphy (0-3), Grace Park Subs Used: Caroline Kelly (2-0), Rachel Molloy, Emma Conlon (0-1) Carrickmore 3-13 St Macartans 1-05 A second half blitz saw reigning champions Carrickmore through to this years decider with a comprehensive victory over their Clogher Valley rivals. In the end, it was a comfortable win for Carrickmore as Macartans faded badly towards the end and allowed their opponents to rack up the scores. There was little between the sides in the opening period, with Tyrone stars Eilish Gormley and Gemma Begley in sparkling form for Carrickmore with two points each, while Elaine Coyle and Lynnette Hughes also found the target. Orla ONeill and Cathy Donnelly were equally impressive in the Macartans attack, asking serious questions of the Carmen rearguard. Carrickmore edged into a 1-6 to 0-3 lead, their goal coming from corner forward Stacey Mc Cann, before ONeill responded for Macartans with one of her trademark runs and rifled her shot to the back of the Carrickmore net to make it 1-6 to 1-3 at the break. St Macartans enjoyed the majority of the possession at the start of the second half, but could only manage points from Cathy Donnelly and Elaine Kelly to narrow the deficit to just a point. Amazingly, this was to be their last score of the evening as Carrickmore stepped up a gear to simply blow away any hope of a Macartans comeback. First, Eilish Gormley fielded well on the end line before laying the ball back to substitute Etaoine OKane on the edge of the square to palm home, before Gormley and Begley grabbed a point each. Begley then pounced to block down an attempted clearance from Macartans keeper Eileen Mc Elroy, and the ball broke to Gormley to poke home to the empty net. Macartans by this stage were in disarray, camped in their own half as Carrickmore launched wave after wave of attacks on their opponents goal. OKane completed her contribution by firing over four expertly taken points before the finish to open up a thirteen point margin by the final whistle. Teams & Scorers Carrickmore: Louise Mc Callan, Rosie Mc Cartan, Catherine Mc Callan, Aideen Loughran, Nicole Hurson, Lynnette Hughes (0-1), Dearbhla Mc Callan, Patricia Mc Gurk, Connie Fox, Maire Grogan, Sinead Mc Aleer, Gemma Begley (0-4), Elaine Coyle (0-1), Eilish Gormley (1-3, 1 free), Stacey Mc Cann (1-0) Subs Used: Etaoine OKane (1-4) for Stacey Mc Cann, Roisin Rafferty for Dearbhla Mc Callan, Claire Gallagher for Sinead Mc Aleer, Maire Slane for Maire Grogan, Claire OKane for Catherine Mc Callan St Macartans: Eileen Mc Elroy, Deidre Kelly, Maura Kelly, Katriona Mc Quaid, Kirsty Mc Caughey, Sinead Mc Laughlin, Clare Kelly, Elaine Kelly (0-1), Grainne Kelly, Orla ONeill (1-1), Jolene Donnelly, Cathy Donnelly (0-2), Mary Louise Mc Girr, Shauna Mc Quaid, Aileen Hackett Subs Used: Shauna Mc Girr for Clare Kelly, Ciara Daly for Sinead Mc Laughlin Glenelly and Moy through to Intermediate decider Glenelly 3-7 Beragh 0-8 Glenelly marched into another Intermediate final courtesy of their eight point win over Beragh on Friday night, and did so in some style despite the absence of midfielder and captain Anne Dooher who was abroad on work commitments. Beragh, though, will rue their missed opportunities and failure to capitalise when they were on top for long periods of the game as they frustratingly went out of the championship once again. Young attacking star Aisling OKane was top scorer for Glenelly, her breathtaking pace on the ball causing havoc in the Beragh rearguard. It was her two goals in the first half, with another from Nicola Sheerin, which set Glenelly on their way to a 3-5 to 0-3 half time lead and left Beragh with a mountain to climb. Beragh though fought back with unbelievable courage, firing over five unanswered points at the start of the second half to narrow the deficit to six points, with full forward Lisa Rodgers firing over some fine scores, and for a time it looked as if Glenelly could be in serious trouble. However, that was to be as close as Beragh were to come as late points for Glenelly from Carol-Ann OKane and Carol Dooher sealed the win. Glenelly: Kelly Mc Caughey, Paula Sheerin, Pauline Campbell, Patricia Anne Kearney, Orla Kerlin, Grace Mc Cullagh, Eimear Mc Connell, Fiona Marie Kearney, Mairead OHagan, Carol Anne OKane, Carol Dooher, Kelly Marie Gormley, Nicola Sheerin, Lisa Mc Cullagh, Aisling OKane Beragh: Roisin Mc Neilis, Sabrina Mc Nally, Tracey Rodgers, Cathy Cox, Cara Franey, Claire Donnelly, Michaela Donnelly, Josephine Rodgers, Noleen Owens, Colleen Mc Sorley, Julie Conroy, Donna Donnelly, Cathy Donnelly, Lisa Rodgers, Ciara Donnelly Moy 2-9 Loughmacrory 1-4 Two first half goals from Nina Murphy set Moy on their way to a place in the Intermediate decider as they proved to be just too strong for Loughmacrory in Sunday evenings meeting between the two sides in Dunmoyle. Moy looked sharp throughout and were able to share the scoring burden around their attacking unit, in comparison to their opponents who struggled to turn possession into scores, as Moy led by 2-3 to 0-4 at the break. In the second half, Moy once again outplayed their opponents and Lisa Mc Aleers injury time goal was the only impression the Lough girls made on the scoreboard in the second period. Moy meanwhile had added six further points to their tally, made up of two points each from Susan Mc Cann, Leona Gallagher and Nina Murphy. Moy therefore progress to the Intermediate final just twelve months after winning the Junior title, a fantastic achievement by the young side once again captained by the impressive Patricia Conroy in defence, while midfielders Rionnach Lavery and Shauna Jordan provided the fulcrum for their side as they powered to victory. Moy: Michelle Clancey, Cathy ONeill, Patricia Conroy, Collette Jordan, Maria Jordan, Sarah Rafferty, Frances Bigley, Rionnach Laverty, Shauna Jordan, Susan Mc Cann, Maeve Mc Kearney, Claire Ogle, Leona Gallagher, Kelly Fay, Nina Murphy Loughmacrory: Rachel OBrien, Nuala Donaghy, Maria Carr, Cara Mc Anespie, Kathy Mc Aleer, Marie Gallagher, Ciara Mc Elduff, Kerri Grimes, Orla Toner, Kaleena Kelly, Paula Mc Elduff, Nadine Kelly, Karen Kelly, Eimear Ward, Lisa Mc Aleer Kileeshil and Fintona to contest for Junior crown In Sundays ties Junior double bill at Beragh, Fintona proved too strong for Mna na Deirge as they won through on a 3-12 to 4-02 scoreline. The championship final will provide Fintona with the opportunity to bounce straight back to Intermediate football following their relegation last year, and the Pearses will be confident that they can take the Brenda Logue Junior Championship title. The second tie at Beragh was a repeat of last years semi-final, but this time it was Kileeshil who were victorious by two points, 2-8 to 2-6. A fantastic individual return of 2-2 from Clodagh Poyntz was not enough to see her side to victory, as her tally was matched by Kathleen Hegarty of Kileeshil. The east Tyrone side will be hopeful that this is the year that they can finally make the breakthrough at senior level, having come so strongly through the underage ranks over the years.
