Pat Fahy & Co Ladies Wrap Up

Sunday 15.08.2021

Kildress Ladies’ fine form continued with a 6-10 to 2-6 win over Beragh at Gortacladdy on Saturday night.

Whilst it ended up a comprehensive win for The Tones, it was Beragh who started the game the better and by the water-break the visitors led by 1-1 to 0-2. Goals from Eilis Keenan and Shannon Crilly then settled Kildress but another Beragh goal left it 2-6 to 2-3 for Kildress at half-time.

Yet again Beragh started the better and two early second-half points left it a one-point game with everything in the balance. ‘Goals win games’ might be one of the most overused football phrases about, but it remains a very true one, and two more net-finders from Kildress saw them 4-6 to 2-6ahead at the water-break.

From there to the finish Kildress were in charge, adding a further 2-4 to produce an eye-catching total of 6-10. Big score or not, this was a game where Kildress also had a lot to thank their defence for, as this was no one-sided affair.
