Clann na nGael Ladies Notes

Clann na nGael Lions 2-19 Boyle 0-3
Clann secured a third county title in a row with a comprehensive victory over Boyle on Saturday in Ballyleague. Clann struggled to break down a Boyle rearguard in the first half but thanks to a Claire Murray goal and some great play from the half-forward of Shauna Bannon, Nicole Meehan and Therese Lennon they secured a lead of 1-7 to 0-1 at the break. The midfield of Christine Conway and Shauna Connell took complete control in the second half and contributed in no small way to the excellent scoring. In the backs Lianne Ward was once again majestic and had plenty of support from Orlagh from all her defence where Orlagh Shine was also was in great form. Most of these girls will now go on and compete in the community games for Drum and Clonown which is next on the agenda. Congrats also to the management team of Peter Shine and Cathriona Nicholson.
