Aghada U15A Imokilly Camogie Clash
On Saturday evening, Aghada U15 Camogie Team, Mentors and Supporters travelled to Sars. GAA Grounds to compete in the Imokilly U15A Semi- final V Sarsfield 1 team. With the home team HOT favourites to win this game the Aghada Girls were incredibly unlucky to lose this encounter. Sars scored a goal in added time to force extra time (largely against the run of play). Heads were down and exhaustion set in, Aghada girls in the first 10 mins of extra time conceding 3-02 in 5 minutes. But an inspiring fight back in the 2nd half, saw the Aghada Girls score 3 goals to 1 point. Unfortunately Players left just too much to claw back. This team can hold their head high after a massive effort by ALL Players and now focus on U16 championship game in Ballincollig on Monday evening. Team: Chloe McI, Ella L, Niamh C, Clodagh T, Maeve Mc G, Clare B, Clodagh W, Rachel L, Aoife H, Abigail Ring, Haley O’ S, Isabel B, May C, Aisling G, Holly Ann L.
