Good league start for Lucan senior camogie

Senior One camogie – Tuesday 7^th April 2015.

Venue : 12^th Lock.

Lucan 9-14 Erin’s Isle 0-8

This was a good start to the Senior One league and a good performance by the Lucan senior one camogie team against Erin’s Isle.

The scoreline is a little unfair on the Isles as Lucan keeper Joelenne Hoary and her defence had to make some almost miraculous interventions in the closing stages to prevent the concession of at least a couple of goals. Increasingly resilient mindsets at work there.

So, while the forwards made hay in converting a large percentage of their chances, it was equally pleasing that the defence stuck to their task well for the full hour.

Amy Conroy, Laura O’Mahony and especially Sam Fitzgerald (on her debut)  took the game to the Isles from the first whistle. Orla Beagan and Ciara Casey were slotting all the frees and it was all over at half time (5-7 to 0-5)

Laura Murtagh sustained her usual frantic pace in the second half as the upward curve in her form continues.

Annemarie Courtney had an impressive hour in the middle of the park.

The Lucan defence were resistance personified and their huge work-rate was mirrored all over the field.

Encouraging.

Lucan Scorers:  Amy Conroy 3-1, Sam Fitzgerald 3-0, Ciara Casey 1-4, Laura Murtagh 1-3, Orla Beagan 1-1, Laura O’Mahony 0-3, Sarah Courtney 0-2.
