U-10 Girls Claim County Title in Close Finish
The U-10 camogie girls pulled off a great win in the U-10B County Final last Saturday in Loughrea. Portumna were first to get a score when a free from Shauna Muldoon went into the top of the net. This was followed by a superb point from Aisling Harte. This brought us to the end of the first half leaving the half time score Portumna 1-1 to Shamrocks 0-0.

With no changes in the second half Shamrocks were to claim their first score of the day with a point from play. This was to be followed by a second goal from midfielder Shauna Muldoon to put them ahead by 2 goals. However, this lead was short lived when Shamrocks scored their first and only goal from a free. With time running out the ref blew the final whistle giving Portumna their claim to victory. It was a thrilling game with so much tension between the sides and some fine individual displays from many girls. The goalie did her share whilst the backs cleared their lines time after time. The midfielders controlled a lot of ball and sent in some great ball to the forwards who in turn put pressure on the opposition. All in all it was a close encounter between the two sides having drawn in their previous meeting. It was Portumna who went out deserving winners in the end. The final score was Portumna 2-1 to Shamrocks 1-1.

Well done and congratulations to: Niamh Quinton, Lisa Greenwood, Sarah Brien, Aideen Tully, Roisin Kelly, Aoibhinn Goode, Shauna Muldoon (Capt), Molly Fitzgerald, Shauna Murray, Aisling Harte (V.Capt), Sarah Hanbury, Anita Hickey, Saoirse O’Toole, Alanna Williams, Natasha Hynes, Sarah Jane Foley, Ava Downey, Martha Tuohy.

It was full forward Anita Hickey who put Portumna first on the score board with a goal followed by two goals in succession from midfielder Shauna Muldoon. This left the half time score Portumna 3-0 to Skehana 0-0.

The second half still was in Portumnas favour with Shauna Muldoon getting her third goal. This was to be followed by three brilliant points from centre forward Aisling Harte. The full time score was Portumna 4-3 to Skehana 0-0. This put Portumna in the County Final once again having previously won this competition for the first time in 2003.
