Castleblayney 1 – 09
Clontibret 1- 02
Clontibret and Senior Champions Castleblayney contested the Monaghan Senior League Final in Drumhowan on Sunday last where Clontibret dominated the first half of a somewhat dull affair.
Michelle Morgan was first off the mark, when she converted a free for Clontibret two minutes from throw in and Catherine Tomany registered a goal for the side once again with a good interception from Michelle Morgan five minutes later.
Castleblayney who had been denied scores in the opening quarter soon got into the swing of things when Niamh Brennan sent one over the bar in what could be described as” Castleblayney’s finest”. Eileen Mc. Elroy and Amber Lam completed the first half scores when they converted two frees in quick succession to leave just one between them.
Half time Score Clontibret 1- 1
Castlablayney 0 – 3
Castleblayney who had now moved up a gear seen Eileen Mc. Elroy open the second half with another one between the uprights. This was closely followed in the sixth minute when Niamh Brennan pointed from play.
Demi Moen completed Clontibret’s Scores when she obtained their only score of the half in the 12th minute.
Emma Forde who had been introduced as a sub, wasted no time in rattling the Clontibret net in the 19th minute and Niamh Brennan widened the gap between the sides when she tapped two points over for Castleblayney. Eileen Mc. Elroy not to be outdone registered another two points in the closing stages to put her side in a comfortable position and claim the coveted Fitzpatrick Coaches League Title.
