Ladies Football On Saturday last the of October Castle-
14th
haven made the 100km journey to challenge for a place in the semi final of this years Cork County Minor D Championship. Missing two of our
influential players Kari McEvoy and Lucy Wal- lace both out through in- jury, this was going to be a tough assignment. The game started with Abby winning the throw in who gave it to Ali who found Molly in space who slot- ted the ball past the Cas- tlehaven keeper. What a start. But slowly and sure- ly Castlehaven began to settle and slotted over four unanswered points. We hit back for another 2 and after 10 mins Castlehaven took over and blitzed us.
They drove forward from their backline and with our girls not tracking back, the backs were completely over run. At the twenty minute mark the half time whistle couldn’t come fast enough. To make matters worse we lost the services of Ali who had to come off with a dislocated fin- ger. Half time score; Mid- leton 1-04 v Castlehaven 7-06. If you do the maths
that’s 7 points to 27. What does one do here? A wel- come break and time to reflect. Rhyanna stepped for-
ward and volunteered to go in goal to allow Rhea to take up a position out- field. We asked the girls to go back out for the second half and give us something to cheer about, and by God they did. How many times have you heard a game summed up by the cliché ‘it was a game of
two halves’, this was one of these games. The first half we want
to banish from our mem- ories and the second half that we will remember for years to come. The girls were only given one instruction going back on the field ‘Goals’. Our de- fence tightened up and led by a transformed Claudia at full pack pushed up the field. Incredibly after twenty minutes we had cut their twenty point lead down to five points and hunting the game. The only danger with pushing up so high in the field is when the opposition over- turn the ball there are huge gaps in the back and Castlehaven capitalised on this twice in the last ten minutes to run in for two goals. We were not going to come back from that. They kept going right to the final whistle. You Continued on next page
