There was no mistaking the most eye-catching result in the fourth round of the Dermot Hughes Cars sponsored Roscommon LGFA senior championship.
St. Brigid’s made it four wins out of four by routing county champions Boyle on Sunday morning. Brigids racking up an 11-12 to 0-4 win in Kiltoom.
Boyle were depleted by the absence of intercounty players Aisling Feely, Caoimhe Cregg, Saoirse Wynne and Megan McKeon among others.
However, they also ran head first into a sensationally sharp St. Brigid’s side, who had six goals on the board in the first 10 minutes.
Marian Nolan (4-6), Sarah O’Rourke (2-2), Áine O’Brien (3-4) and Alison Nugent (1-2) all racked up the scores for St. Brigid’s.
For the second time this year, Clann were pushed right to the wire by an underdog at Johnstown.
Whereas, St. Dominic’s took a point home from their round one game there, Éire Óg will feel desperately unlucky to have lost out by 2-12 to 2-11 on Sunday morning.
Dominics down Clann na nGael
The two goals in Róise Lennon’s final tally of 2-7 came in early exchanges as Clann looked to power ahead.
However, a goal from Rebecca Finan and points from Amy Doory helped Éire Óg to get back within a point.
They stayed in touch early in the second-half; two points from Rebecca Madden cancelled out scores from Lennon and Ciara Quinn.
Mia Macken’s defensive work and the re-appearance of Jenny Higgins on the field steadied Clann. Guiding Clann to a four point lead, before Róisín McDonagh’s late goal set up a tense final 60 seconds.
In Knockcroghery, St. Dominics built on last week’s late smash-and-grab win with a 6-11 to 5-10 win over Kilbride.
Niamh Fitzgerald was the star of the show, scoring 4-2 while Aimee O’Connor added 1-3 for Michael O’Connor’s side.
