Kilmeena girls were away to Louisburgh in the Girls U13 league on Friday evening. It was a beautiful sunny evening in Louisburgh. There wasn't much between the teams in first half with plenty of great scores from both sides. Kilmeena led 4 - 5 to 4 - 1 at half time.
After the break Kilmeena started the stronger and had some excellent passages of play, which led to superb scores. A great display by the girls. Well done!

Kilmeena V Westport U16 Girls League

The Kilmeena U16 girls home game this evening was against Westport, with a strong westerly wind blowing the visitors who won the toss elected to play with the wind in the first half, the big challenge for Kilmeena was to defend in every position and maintain possession as best they could and in parts they managed to maintain but Westport got on the score board early with well executed scores, coupled with the strong breeze the home team was seriously under pressure but they prevailed with notable performances by Ciara Joyce, Shannon Burke, Aine Regan & Sarah McDonald who kept the score board ticking. Defensively the Girls were under alot of pressure with surging runs by Westport but they defended strongly by minimizing their scoring capabilities, by half time Westport were well ahead with the game nearly out of reach, but then came the second half a resurgent Kilmeena team took control of the game and managed to close the gap by scoring some excellent points & goals, in defence the home team got the better of their makers thus limiting scoring opportunities, with notable performances by Dearbhla Grealis, Abby McGreal, Katie Hogan, Aoife Gibbons, Laura & Mollie Moore. In made for a very close and exciting finish but when final whistle blew the game ended in a draw. Thank you to Westport for very sporting game and the best of luck to you in the championship.

Kilmeena V CL McHale Rovers U14 Girls Championship

kilmeena@gmail.com (Administrator) — Mon, 17 Jul 2017 23:32:23 +0100

Kilmeena under 14 girls played their first championship match of the season against CL McHale Rovers at home on Monday evening. The weather conditions were very warm and sunny. Kilmeena had the advantage of a slight breeze in the first half. Kilmeena showed their intent dominating most of the possession in the first half and were unlucky not to have converted a few more scores. CL McHale Rovers scored a goal against the run of play and were a point up at the interval. The score at half time was Kilmeena 1 - 4 CL McHale Rovers 2 - 2.
The second half was equally as competitive, with both teams getting some great scores. The Kilmeena girls put in huge effort and can be very proud of themselves, but CL McHale Rovers did enough to edge out Kilmeena winning by 3 points. Unfortunately Kilmeena are now out of the Championship competition.
A great performance by Kilmeena which is testament to their hard work and progress throughout the year. When these teams met in the league in May, Kilmeena suffered a heavy defeat in that match with a score line of Kilmeena 3 - 05 CL McHale Rovers 8 - 13.
Kilmeena lined out as follows:
1 Aoife Gibbons, 2 Mollie Keane, 3 Holly Barrett, 4 Anna Moran, 5 Megan O’Malley, 6 Laura Kelly, 7 Keely Hastings, 8 Ciara Joyce, 9 Áine Regan, 10 Evie Flynn, 11 Abby McGreal, 12 Emma Murray, 13 Megan Mulchrone, 14 Rachel Gibbons(c), 15 Aibhlin O’Flynn
Subs: 16 Jessica O’Donnell, 17 Sinead Mulchrone, 18 Grace Gibbons, 19 Aisling Hoban, 20 Sarah Gillespie, 21 Ellen O’Toole.

Kilmeena V The Neale U16 Girls League

kilmeena@gmail.com (Administrator) — Tue, 04 Jul 2017 07:56:18 +0100

The Kilmeena U16 Girls travelled to play The Neale last evening Monday the 3rd of July.
The Captain for this game was Jamie Geraghty, as it was a very wet evening it made playing conditions very difficult but in fairness to both teams it an entertaining Division 4 game. The home side started the better taking well executed scores, but the kilmeena Girls dug deep with notable performances by Ciara Joyce, Shannon Burke, Sandra McDonald, Mollie Moore who created lots of scoring opportunities which made life difficult for the home team full back line.
Kilmeena finished the first half a goal up, but the The Neale were not going to give up easily and started the second half brighty, but Kilmeena got to grips with their surging runs with strong defending by Chloe McGing, Dearbhla Grealis, Holly Barrett, Aiva Ryder, Laura Moore resulting in the home team been kept at bay by limiting their scoring opportunities. But at the other end of the field Kilmeena were finding their rhythm with Anna Moran & Laura Kelly making good runs which allowed kilmeena forwards to take some excellent assuring we finished out the game strongly, as its often said “Goals win games” and that proved to be the case this evening, well done to both teams who had to make the best of the wet conditions, thank you the Neale for a sporting game.
