U-12 Ladies Football.
Friday night saw our girls travel to Dromcollogher to take on Drom/Broadford. 17 girls made the trip and all enjoyed plenty of game time and acquitted themselves very well. As these games are uncompetitive, scores are not kept. Generally you would have an idea of whether you won or lost but on this high scoring occasion neither side claimed victory and an honourable draw was declared. Thanks to all the girls and the parents who made the trip. We will be at home to Feoghanagh/Castlemahon next Friday evening.
The squad on the night was Abbie Cullinane, Aimee Ryan, Amy O'Halloran, Anna Campbell, Cliona Byrne, Dearbhail Mangan, Ella Page, Emer Conroy, Emma O'Rourke, Izzy Duggan, Jools Deegan, Kate Feasy, Lucy O'Carroll, Oran Cronin, Rachel Connolly, Ruth Bolger and Shadh Awaga.
U-14 Ladies Football.
MSP completed phase 1 of U14 championship with an away match vs Monagea. MSP had the advantage of the hill and the breeze in the 1st half which they used to build up significant lead at half time. This allowed MSP to use their full squad and MSP ran out comfortable winners on a score line of 5-8 to 1-1. Next up for MSP are matches vs Dromin/Athlacca/Banogue and Fr Caseys.
Junior Ladies Football.
On bank holiday Monday the MSP junior ladies team travelled to Ballyhahill to take on Gerald Griffins in the final league match of Div 3.

The player who travelled were Aisling Dee, Catherine Murphy, Clare O’Meara, Cliodhna Kelly, Joanne Foley, Karin Mason, Kate Galvin, Leah O’Carroll, Leisha Horgan, Lisa Garvey, Marita O'Brien, Maire Lyons, Megan O’Malley, Michelle Kennedy, Niamh Foley, Paulina Vijidran and Rachel Fennell.
Senior Ladies Football.
Mungret St Paul’s senior ladies were at home to St Ailbes in Div 1 of the leagues last Friday. Ailbes were the quicker off the blocks, getting two goals inside the opening six minutes. MSP tried their best to claw back but were left trailing at half time. MSP played much better in the second half, the defenders were tighter and the attack play resulted in scores. MSP held Ailbes to just one point in the second half, but try as they might MSP just couldn't close the gap and it was victory for St Ailbes on the night. Lining out for MSP were Aisling Dee, Ciara Moloney, Claire Coughlan, Clare O’Meara, Cliodhna Kelly, Jenni O’Malley, Joanne Foley, Karen Gibbs, Karin Mason, Kate Galvin, Leah O’Carroll, Lisa Garvey, Maire Lyons, Mairead Clancy, Marita O'Brien, Megan O’Malley, Niamh Foley, Paulina Vijidran, Rachel Fennell, S Kelly, Theresa Mulcaire and Triona Bannon.
