Navan O’Mahony’s 3-10
St Mary’s 1-08
After a tough battle and a great game of football, the ladies came out on top to make it two from two in the Div 5 FL in serious sunshine on the Trim Road on Sunday morning.
It was the visitors that got off to a great start, scoring a penalty in the opening five minutes and adding three points (two of which were from play) in the next seven minutes. Neasa McDermott got her side onto the scoreboard with a point in the thirteenth minute, with Isabel Thorp following with two points.
Milly Clarke Carolan added a goal (impressively placed in the top corner) and a point in the closing minutes of the half, while St Mary’s responded with a point from play. With seconds left on the clock, Thorp picked her spot and drove the ball to the roof of the net, giving O’Mahony’s the lead at the break.

St Mary’s broke the scoreless spell with two points but O’Mahony’s finished the game strong, with points from Thorp, Clarke Carolan, Cara Ratty and substitute Erin Moore.
