The U16 ladies recorded a great win over their neighbours Westport in a highly entertaining league game on Monday evening in St Brendan’s park. Kilmeena were against the wind and made a solid start but Westport went in 2 – 06 to 1 – 04 ahead at half time. The second half was a real nail biting encounter with Kilmeena going 2- 10 to 2 – 9 ahead with two minutes remaining. With the game looking like it could go either way Westport scored a goal to go one point ahead but a goal in the last minute by Aoife Lavelle ensured a deserved victory for Kilmeena.
Team captain Sophie Flynn was outstanding along with Katie Hogan at midfield. Goal keepers Aoife Lavelle and Laura Kelly were very impressive with some great saves. The defence was excellent with Dearbhla Grealis, Ava Ryder and Lilly Brady very strong. Nina Mathestein, Laura Moore and Sarah Mulchrone made some great clearances. The forwards created many chances and took some fine scores. Cliodhna O Connell, Aoife Roche, Jamie Geraghty, Lisa Rose and Alishia McDonnell gave solid performances. Shannon Burke was outstanding covering back and got some great scores on the evening.
Excellent displays by U14’s girls Laura Kelly, Ciara Joyce and Sarah McDonald in their first game for the U16 team this year.

Kilmeena created most of their scoring chances in the first half. The second half saw a more evenly matched game with the girls from the Neale presenting stiffer competition. Great credit is due to the Neale goal keep-keeper who pulled off some great saves during the second half.
