Sadly our fantastic Blessington Ladies bowed out of the Leinster Junior
Football Club Championship on Sunday last, to a very strong St Helen's team of
Longford. St. Helen's sprung out of the traps scoring five points in the first
six minutes before Blessington got onto the scoreboard with a great goal from
Shauna Byrne.
In the following two minutes St Helen's put two goals of their own into
the Blessington net. St Helen's added three more points without reply before
Molly Cullen found the back of the Longford net on the twenty second minute
leaving the score at Blessington 2-0 St Helen's 2-7. Our girls got the next two
points before St Helen's hammered home a third goal in the twenty ninth minute to
leave the score at half time Blessington 2-2 St Helen's 3-7. Blessington had
begun the fight back.! The second half saw our girls come back to take the lead
for the first and only time. With eleven minutes of normal time left our girls
went a point in front 5-7 to 4-9 but unfortunately it only lasted for a
single minute before St Helen's scored goal number five. Blessington ladies never
give up attitude which we knew they had, kept them fighting right till the end,
but sadly it wasn't enough. Final score Blessington 6-8 St Helen's 6-10, a two
point win for the team from Longford.
Scorers for Blessington: Molly Cullen 2-2, Niamh Carroll: 1-3,
Jacqueline Finnegan 1-0 Shauna Byrne 2-1 and Jess Carroll
0-2
