SENIOR LADIES 

The Senior Ladies added a  Corrib Oil Senior Club League title to their honours list when they got the better of a competitive John Mitchels side in an entertaining encounter in Fitzgerald Stadium . Having lost to the Tralee side earlier in the competition a good start was imperative to help change the narrative around the encounter. Keri-Ann Hanrahan made sure of that with a point from the throw in . That set the tone for the first quarter, quickly opening up a five point lead. Mitchels hit their purple patch, scoring 1-1 without reply but Andrea Murphy , Aoife Healy, Aine Devlin,  Lauren Carey and Orianne McGillycuddy , with a cracking finish, made sure the lead was extended at half time, 1-8 to 1-1. The start of the second half was a carbon copy of the first , Keri-Ann stealing in for another point, soon followed by an Orianne effort. With Mitchels battling away , a chance to extend the lead was rebuffed by the Tralee custodian, brilliantly turning away a Kate McCarthy penalty. The same player though pushed the lead out to nine, 1-12 to 1-3 with the game heading into the final quarter. But the game certainly didn't peter out . Back came Mitchels with a strong drive that yielded 1-3 without reply and with the game deep in injury time it was only a three point gap. But there was to be no late drama as the ladies hung on for a deserved win. John Mitchels were a worthy opponent and the two teams meet again in the Junior Championship very soon. With the teams having one win each over the season that game promises to be another close encounter.
