Congratulations to the Senior football team who were victorious in their Munster Senior football quarter final vs. Scoil Mhuire, Ennistymon.
The girls had a long trip to UL to take on their opponents on the astro-turf pitch.
Ard Scoil played against the wind in the first half and worked extremely hard against the blustery conditions. The full-back line of Hayley Whelan, Emily Foran and Katie Lavin, in particular, stood strong against the Ennistymon attack. With 25 minutes gone, the score was 0-4 to 0-1 to Ennistymon with Muireann Hickey adding our point. Unfortunately, Ennistymon added 2-1 before the break to leave the score 2-5 to 0-1 and an uphill battle for the 2nd half.
A goal from Abbie Fitzpatrick after the restart started the half on the right foot but we were finding it difficult to convert opportunities to scores. Muireann Hickey (1-1) and Abbie Fitzpatrick (0-1) did add scores as the half continued. It looked like time was going to run out on the Ard Scoil when Siobhán Lennon stepped up with a fantastic goal from the 21. This levelled the game and Siobhán Lennon and Abbie Fitzparick stuck a point apiece to ensure a hard fought victory!
Next up is a Munster D semi-final vs Newcastlewest.
