Sixmilebridge Camogie Junior B sheild final match report-Vs- Clooney-Quin

Sixmilebridge Juniors finished their season in style with Junior Shield Triumph!
On Sunday 18th of October there was plenty to celebrate in O’Garney Park as the Sixmilebridge Junior B team brought the curtain down on a fantastic year in style, claiming the Junior B Shield under beautiful blue skies in Sixmilebridge.
The Bridge made the perfect start, settling quickly into their stride and taking control of proceedings. Some excellent teamwork created the opening opportunity, with Ava Moloney on hand to finish and register the first score of the final.
Emily Reddan soon added a point from a free before Caoimhe Liddane produced a superb solo run up the field, finishing in style to register her first point.
The Bridge continued to build momentum, with Emily Reddan hitting a long-range effort that found its way to the back of the Clooney-Quin net. The Bridge backs were also in excellent form, with Anna O'Doherty, Megan Gaule and Sarah O'Grady putting in strong performances. The backs worked tirelessly to keep their opponents under pressure while providing a steady supply of quality ball to the forwards.

Caoimhe Liddane then delivered another goal unleashing an unstoppable shot to the net to further extend the Bridge advantage. Heidi Conneely was outstanding throughout, covering every blade of grass, making vital contributions in defence and supporting the attack at every opportunity. Unfortunately, injury forced Heidi from the field, with Shona Ryan introduced in her place.
The Bridge maintained their momentum towards the interval, with Halle Keogh adding an excellent point and Mary Donnellan rounding of the first half with a fantasic goal leavin the girls firmly in control at half-time. Heading into the dressing rooms with the scoreboard reading 3.04 to 1.02 to the home side.

Christina O’Grady replaced the injured Halle Keogh for the second half.  There was no let-up in the Bridge performance after the restart, as the girls emerged with renewed energy and determination. Caoimhe Liddane added two further points to complete an impressive personal tally of a goal and three points. Anna O'Doherty had to leave the field due to a bad hand injury and was replaced by Eve O'Reilly. Mary Donnellan registered her second point of the afternoon and Ava Moloney also got on the scoresheet in the second half, with  a well-taken point.
Claudia Chaplin entered the action in place of Mia Costello, while Sinead Cahill replaced Jessica Finnin as the Bridge continued to make changes. Emily Reddan rounded off a great display with another well-taken point to complete the scoring for the Bridge.

The final whistle brought scenes of celebration as the Sixmilebridge Junior B team secured the Junior B Shield and put the perfect finishing touch to what has been a hugely successful year. Their teamwork, commitment and determination were evident throughout, making this a thoroughly deserved victory.

Captain Ardia O’Halloran had the honour of accepting the Junior Shield from Ann Marsh, representing the Clare Camogie County Board, bringing a memorable day in O’Garney Park to a fitting conclusion. 
The final was officiated by referee Kevin Walsh.
Congratulations to all the players, management and everyone involved in a fantastic achievement. A brilliant end to a brilliant year for the Junior Team and club overall.
