Bray Emmets 6-6 Vs Coolkenno 5-8
In this hugely entertaining game, Bray had the better of the
first half, leading 3-4 to 1-3 at the break thanks to goals from
Kathy Waters, Sinead Kelly and Orlaith Whelan. Coolkenno weren't
going to lie down in front of a home crowd though; and within the
first minutes of the 2nd half had levelled
things.
The rest of the game was enthralling as each side alternately
gained and lost the lead. For Bray, Aoife O'Donovan and Zoe
Mulvaney had a brilliant game in midfield, providing great service
to the forwards. Siofra Heffernan scored a goal and a brace of
points, under-12's Sophie Connolly took three fine points whilst
Sinead Kelly followed the previous week's hat-trick of goals with
another, scoring 3-1. Coolkenno meanwhile were giving as good as
they got and things were so tight at the end of the game that there
was considerable confusion about the final score. In the end,
referee gave it to Bray by a point, and on the game as a whole it
was a well-deserved win for the Emmets girls.
