Granagh Ballingarry 5-5 Mungret St Pauls 3-2

The Mungret St Pauls U14 girls traveled away to play a much fancied Granagh Ballingarry in their cup semi final on Tuesday, September 15th 2020. Granagh Ballingarry lived up to their billing and raced out of the blocks to take a 3-2 to no score lead into the first water break. The Mungret St. Pauls girls would have been forgiven if they choose to drop their heads but this group is made of different stuff. They stuck to their task and kept hurling, gradually turning the momentum and establishing themselves in the game right through the second quarter.

By the second half the tide had been turned and the home team knew they were in a match. The Mungret St. Pauls girls added more guile to their heart on sleeves approach and they were duly rewarded with a hat trick of goals. The relentless pace of the game was a credit to both teams and Granagh Ballingarry were not to be outdone. They showed plenty of class and skill to see the game out and book their place in the final. The applause that greeted this set of young Mungret St. Pauls girls as they left the field was a fitting acknowledgement by the travelling faithful of their efforts on the night and throughout their campaign.
