Mullaghbrack senior ladies met Dorsey Emmet's in the first round of the Junior Championship on Saturday evening 12th May in Carrickcruppin.

Mullaghbrack got of to a great start when Shauna Gallogly netted within minutes of the throw in. Dorsey's defence was under immense pressure with Mullaghbrack girls making good use of their possession resulting in goals for Kathryn Rice, Lisa Fields and a second from Shauna Gallogly. Christina Crilly scored a hat trick, two from play and one a well taken penalty. Christina, Shauna, Lisa, Toni Morgan and Saoirse Farrell added points to leave the half-time score 7:7 to no score.

Mullaghbracks half back line continued to dominate their opponents in the second half and prevented Dorsey from any scoring chances. Shauna Gallogly added to her tally with a further three points and Helen Corvan raced from the half-back line to record a point. Substitute Caroline Monaghan added a point to leave the final score 7:12 to no score.

This was a fine team performance from goalkeeper to full forwards and subs. We thank Dorsey Emmet's for a clean sporting game and wish them well in the remaining league games. The girls are looking forward to their next championship outing when a place in the semi-final will be at stake.
