Pat Fahy & Co Ladies League Wrap Up

Sunday 08.08.2021

High-flying Fintona, with four wins from their first five games, were the visitors to Páirc Thír na nÓg on Saturday evening past for the latest round of fixtures in the senior ladies intermediate league.

In contrast to their opponents, the Moy girls came in to this match on the back of some disappointing results. However, that was all about to change as the Tír na nÓgs bounced back to produce their best performance of the season so far.

An Mhaigh got off to a great start, racing into a 1-3 to 0-0 lead with Lucy Conroy finding the net for her team. Nina Murphy, Cara Corr and Caoimhe Magee all kicked points before Fintona came back to quickly register 1-1.

The sky blues continued to push on and were further boosted when goalkeeper Ciara O’Hanlon made a fine save to see out the first half. Half-Time Score: An Mhaigh 1-8  Fintona 1-1.

The home side continued its impressive form in the second half with excellent defensive work from the back-line. Caoimhe Magee in the middle of the park was also driving forward at every opportunity to help keep her team on top.

Late in the second half, Emer Currie was introduced to the Moy attack and she made an immediate impact, scoring a goal and a point to secure a terrific win.

This was a great all-round team performance from An Mhaigh who will now look forward to maintaining this form when they hit the road next Saturday evening to take on Drumragh away in the league.
