The victorious Glenree Utd team
Ballyare football grounds was the setting for the girls u14 shield final between Glenree Utd and Kilmac Utd on Saturday.
The brilliant football played from these two very competitive teams resulted in a great final match.
While all these young ladies were stars in their own right for making it to the final it was Glenree utd that performed brilliantly on the day with a 5 – 1 result in their favour at the final whistle with goals from Emer Sweeney, Laura Dugera, Emer Friel, and two goals from Lauren Carr.
All of the Glenree team counted when it mattered.
In goals for Glenree was young Claire Friel who made a number of great saves during the match, a great defense of Siobhan Sweeney, Megan McGee, Niamh and Michelle McDevitt. Midfield consisted of Lauren Carr, Emer Friel, Lisa Dugera while up front we had Laura Dugera, Emer Sweeney and Thea Duffy.
Subs on the day included, Aisling Green, Emily Pastor and sisters Niamh and Chloe Curran who played superbly also.
Many thanks to all the parents and supporters who followed this team giving them lots of support and encouragement during the year.
Finally a special thanks to coach Cathal McGinley for all his hard work, dedication, and belief in this young team and helping them achieve their potential.
