Munster Senior B Schools Final

St Marys Nenagh 4-10

Coláiste An Piarsaigh, Glanmire 1-14

Coláiste An Piarsaigh, Glanmire raced into an early 0-6 to 0-1 lead against St Mary’s Nenagh in Saturday’s final in Bishopstown. Credit to the Nenagh girls though they never panicked and worked themselves back into the contest to take a slender one point lead at the break.

Toomevara’s Éimhear Troy had St Mary's opening score of the game after 15 minutes with a well taken free to make it 0-4 to 0-1 before Glanmire responded with two more points from Orlaith Ní Mhaolain and Emma Nic Giolla Phádraigh.

The next ten minutes belonged to St Mary’s as they really upped their game to slot over 4 points in quick succession from Emma Costello (2) Marie Ryan and Éimhear Troy.

Orlaith Ní Mhaolain put two between the sides again before St Mary’s struck for a crucial goal. Jane Ryan offloaded to Marie Ryan who finished to the back of the Cork net. At half time St Mary’s enjoyed a 1-06 to 0-8 lead.

Evie Ní Thuama quickly had Coláiste An Phiarsaigh back level after the restart but two in a row from the Nenagh school put them back in front. In a closely contested third quarter both sides displayed some fine camogie and exchanged points.

Two goals from the excellent Éimhear Troy (the second a brilliant first time turn and strike after a great initial catch) put St Mary’s in the driving seat. A fourth goal from Iris Grace after a long range effort extended St Mary’s lead.

As the clock ran down both sides exchanged further points before Coláiste An Phiarsaigh finished with a late goal and at the final whistle there were great scenes of celebrations as St Mary’s were deservedly crowned Munster Champions on a final scoreline of 4-10 to 1-14.
