Under Ten Cup Final

Taghmon United lifted the under ten cup for the first time when they overcame premier side Ballindaggin 2-0 in a closely contested final played in front of an enthusiastic and encouraging crowd. Cora Banville gave Taghmon a first half lead and although Ballindaggin pressed for an equaliser, they found it difficult to break down the hard working defence and when Cora scored her second goal five minutes from the end, there was no way back. Cora Banville crowned off the day when she was awarded player of the match with league chairman Daire Doyle presenting the winning side with their cup

 

Noel Kehoe Pitch Development Under Twelve Cup Final

Ballindaggin were the first winners of the day when they lifted the Noel Kehoe Pitch Development Cup after a close game against a very unlucky Cloughbawn side. The Clonroche girls could have taken the lead early in the game but just saw their shot nick the post and go wide. Ballindaggin broke the deadlock five minutes from the end of the first half when Niamh Mchugh brought a good save from Catlyn Mernagh but reacted well to knock in the rebound. Although both sides went in search of further goals, defences held firm and Ballindaggin held on to lift the cup and potentially the first half of a cup and league double. Ballindaggin midfielder Orlagh Kehoe was awarded player of the match as league committee member Aine Murphy presented the winning side with their cup and medals

 

Under Fourteen Cup Final

Premier title challengers Kilmore United eventually broke down a stubborn Gorey Rangers side who put up a spirited performance playing in their first ever schoolgirl final. Although Kilmore enjoyed more possession in the first half, they found Rangers hard to break down until just before half time. Once they got in front, there was no way back for Rangers despite their best efforts and the game was delayed with fifteen minutes remaining when Gorey player Simone Kavanagh picked up a nasty injury and had to be removed to hospital. Her team mates showed great character to complete the game with the unbeaten Kilmore side running out 4-0 winners with Ann Marie Bennett (2), Sophie Boxwell and Emily Bates all on target with Emily also picking up the player of the match award. League committee member Elayne Grant presented the winning side with their trophy and everyone involved in the game wishes Simone Kavanagh a speedy recovery from her injury.

 

Under Eighteen Cup Final

Two goals in each half saw Curracloe United secure the under eighteen cup as they overcame Seaview United 4-0 scoring an early goal to take control. Seaview battled bravely until Curracloe scored their second goal just before half time and after that there was only going to be one winner. Seaview continued to make life difficult for the leaders and Curracloe had to work hard to kill off the game which they duly did with two second half goals. Amy Banville and player of the match Siobhan Doolan scored the first half goals while Dearbhla Doyle and Rianna Cullen found the net in the second half. League treasurer Ashling Kavanagh presented the winning captain Noleen Shanahan with the trophy to round off the season for the league runners up

 

Michelle Coleman Shield Final

St Josephs became the first winners of the Michelle Coleman Shield when they overcame Corach Ramblers after a very tight final in Bunclody on Sunday. Both sides produced some good chances but it was the Kilmuckridge girls who were victorious on the day with Emer O Leary scoring the only goal of the game.

 

Gaynor Cup Final

The revised Gaynor Cup went all the way to extra time on Sunday before Fastnet Rovers eventually overcame Moyne Rangers 2-1 after extra time. This is one of the oldest competitions in the league but was dropped for a number of years and was brought back this season for the bottom four teams in the league. Fastnet and Moyne produced a thriller of a game before Rovers eventually came out on top thanks to goals from Rebecca O Connor and Shirley O Neill with Louise O Brien on target for Moyne

 

Boland Carpets Shield Final

A solitary Lisa Marie Doyle goal saw Taghmon United lift the first ever Boland Carpets Shield when overcoming Bunclody AFC 1-0 on Sunday. In a very tight game both sets of defences were in control and kept chances to a minimum until Lisa Marie eventually broke the deadlock.

 

Michelle Coleman Cup Final

Division One champions Killenagh Wanderers retained the Michelle Coleman Cup when proving too strong for promoted New Ross Town in Bunclody on Sunday. The very experienced Killenagh side took control early in the game and never allowed the youthful enthusiastic New Ross side to get a grip on the game. Two goals each from Teresa Redmond and Leanne Naughter saw them run out 4-0 winners and if they can carry this form into next season, they could create an impact in the premier division. New Ross Town can be proud of their season where they were promoted for the third season in a row as well as reaching their third cup final on the trot

 

Nolan Health and Fitness Cup Final

Rosslare Strand caused a minor upset in the Nolan Health and Fitness Final when overcoming division champions Bree United 1-0. In a final where chances were at a minimum, Bree did create several chances but failed to convert and found a hard working Strand side difficult to break down. Sarah Walsh became the heroine for the Strand side as she found the net to give her side victory and their first silverware since joining the league.

 

Boland Carpets Cup Final

The top two sides in division 2A met in this final with the unbeaten Castledockrell United going in as hot favourites against divisional runners up Shilelagh United and they looked to be living up to that tag when Ellen Kelly gave them the lead. However Shilelagh showed great character and got back on level terms through Amy Bermingham  and a late Fiona Byrne goal gave the Wicklow side victory.

 

Leinster Womens Shield Final

Wexford league side Benfica FC lifted the Leinster Womens Shield on Sunday when trouncing Malahide United 7-0 in Bunclody. The Waterford girls were always in control and showed that they are returning to full strength as they never allowed their high profile opponents in to the game. Goals from Becky Conroy (3), Carol Breen (2), Sharon Brown and Brianne O Connor saw Benfica run out comfortable winners

 

Womens Premier Division

Adamstown completed their season on Sunday morning with a 4-0 win over North End United and kept alive their chances of finishing runners up. Goals from Aisling Whelan, Nikki Dunphy, Katie White and Ann Marie Dunphy saw the home side control the second half after a scoreless first half.

 

Womens Division One

Glen Celtic did enough to ensure survival in division one after overcoming Cloughbawn second team 2-1, a result that sees the Clonroche side relegated. Emma O Neill and Jenna Sludds were on target for Celtic to give them a vital three points.
