U11s v Carrigaline 11^th July 2011

We traveled to Carrigaline last Monday evening in the Under 11 County Go Games. It was a beautiful evening and we played 9 a side in 4 x 10 minute quarters. These games have no score keeping as it’s about participation. In the first quarter our girls started great and fought very hard for every ball. At the break we asked each girl for the next 3 quarters to strike the ball at least 9 times, get 1 hook and try a handpass. It was fabulous to see them try to do all these skills with all achieving the 9 pucks of the ball. Sonya Wallace was great in goals blocking loads of balls and her puckouts are brilliant. Abbie Biggane played in backs and midfield striking the ball very well on the ground and for her hand as well and she also got in a hook. Niamh Kavanagh was outstanding fighting for every ball with great heart and her highlight was to see her rising the sliotar and hitting it off her left-hand side. Fiona Neligan had another brilliant game showing all her skills striking left and right while getting 2-1 for the teams efforts. Caithlin Sheehan is improving with every game and is very comfortable anywhere on the field clearing some great ball. Lauren Corrigan played her heart out in midfield and defence striking some great ball on the ground from her hand and even got in a hook. Amy Ward was very impressive been her 1^st year playing camogie and fought very hard anytime the ball was near and was so unlucky not to score. Alicia Fox is probably one of the most improved players this year and if she keeps up the training and effort there will be no stopping her. Gemma O Grady did great and fought for every thing and was the bravest girl on the field even getting a hook in with her shoulder if you don’t mind. Overall it was a great match between 2 very even teams and both teams had a great match.

Thanks to Coach Tessa Cagney+ Joanna Corrigan, selector Noreen Sheehan, Medical Sandy Corrigan and supporters Joe Fox and Martin Kavanagh for the support and well done to all.

Team; Sonya Wallace, Abbie Biggane, Niamh Kavanaghs, Fiona Neligan, Caitlin Sheehan, Lauren Corrigan, Amy Ward, Alicia Fox, Gemma O Grady.
