For the supporters who travelled to Páirc Seán on Sunday morning last they were treated to an exciting game of football which saw the lead change on numerous occasions throughout the game. The game was fast paced with tenacious defensive work and hard-working forward play on show.  The tight encounter saw the sides level after normal time and send the game to extra time with the Manor girls claiming their spot in the final on a scoreline of 5-14 to 5-12.  They will play the reigning champions St Joseph’s in the final.  We wish the team all the very best in their preparations.
