INTERMEDIATE: We had a great win on Sunday last against Moycarkey in Littleton.
Neither team had their full compliment of players on the day. It was a very windy day and Borrisoleigh took full advantage of this in the first half with Nicole Walsh scoring 1 goal and 7 points and Sarah Kinane scoring 1 goal and 2 points. Moycarkey scored 3 points in the first half. The second half saw Borrisoleigh playing against the wind and Moycarkey used this to their advantage, scoring 4 goals in quick succession and 2 points. Mary Bradshaw scored 2 goals in the second half for Borrisoleigh and Nicole Walsh added another 5 points to her tally. Sarah Kinane scored another point in the second half leaving the FINAL SCORE at:
Borrisoleigh 4 – 15 to Moycarkey 4 – 5 . Well done Borris..
Next match is fixed versus Drom next Sunday April 13th in Borrisoleigh at 11 am in Borrisoleigh. Your support would be appreciated.
