TG4 Intermediate Championship Leitrim v Limerick:
We survived our trip to Limerick and happily came back with a win. 15 minutes in to the game we were 6 points up to no score with scores from Aine Tighe, Roisin Fowley, Lorraine Brennan and Laura ODowd. The team was changed from the previous encounter with Fermanagh which we lost. They were refreshed and ready for action again with Cloones Patricia Forde, Drumkerrins Ann Marie Gallagher and Sean OHeslins Laura ODowd all getting their start. They were brought in to make an impression and they did! Ann Marie Gallagher was wonderful under the ball giving some excellent passes and making a good impression on her management. Patricia Forde got stuck in from the word go she was playing in the back line and even though the players around her are more experienced she didnt need too much guidance. Laura ODowd is of course an athlete and usually dawns the pictures of the Leitrim Observer as a champion runner. She is a great addition to our squad this year and I hope to see her continue on the way she played last Saturday. Limerick of course were not going down without a fight and we were well aware of the threat they imposed. By the end of the first half they had scored 1-2 Kathryn Fahy getting the goal and their excellent midfielder Niamh Richardson making a big impression throughout the game she was the girl to try and stop. The second half was a battle Limerick were all the time testing our defences they managed to get another two goals and two points. We introduced Erin Farrell, Kiara Keegan, Claire McDermott, Shauna Clancy and Caoimhe Quinn into the fray. Aine Tighe scored another goal after Patricia Forde intercepted a Limerick attack passing the ball off to Deirdre Ward who carried it down the field finding Laura ODowd who passed to Roisin Fowley who found Aine Tighe and she touch the back of the net. Erin Farrell, Ann Marie Gallagher and Aine Tighe also got scores on the board in the last few minutes of the game. The game finished up 3-04 Limerick 2-13 Leitrim. We are now through to a play off on the 19th of August we are waiting to see who we play it could be either Armagh or Waterford. More information to follow.
