Skryne ladies draw with St. Pats in Junior A Championship
St. Patricks 2-14 Skryne 4-08
LGFA Junior A Football Championship. Group B – Round 2.
Skryne Ladies had their first match of the Kepak Junior A Championship last Friday. On a hot evening in Stamullen the St. Pats team started strongly and at the first water break were leading 4 points to nil. This tally could have been higher but for some strong defending by the Skryne defence. However, Skryne found their rhythm and after a goal from the indomitable Fiona O’Rourke and points from captain Catriona Keoghan Skryne led at half time by 2 points.

The third quarter was Skryne’s dominant quarter where the side outscored St. Pat’s 2-4 to 0-4 including a well taken penalty by Sophie Finnegan and a great team move finished by Amy O’Dowd. However, St. Pat’s stormed back into the game with two goals and secured a draw with the last kick of the game.
Skryne will be looking to gain their place in the semi-final by beating Moylagh in their next game at home in Fr McManus Park on Saturday 22nd August at 7.30pm.
The strong and vocal Skryne support at this away match was fantastic for this squad of over 30 players who have been training hard over the last couple of months.
Team: Rachel Whelan, Lisa Browne, Ailish Lenehan, Megan O’Brien, Nicola Rogan, Alana Cooney, Samantha Clarke (0-1), Fiona O’Rourke (1-0), Aisling Bowens, Ciara Smyth, Amy O’Dowd (1-1), Niamh O’Brien, Sophie Finnegan (2-1), Catriona Keoghan (0-4), Roisin McManus (0-1).
