But alas Dunmore were not to win this game. Our Dunmore girls played brilliantly but came up against a very strong Claremorris side.  Dunmore scored some excellent points and some spectacular goals, and they never gave up and pushed until the final whistle. Our defenders never gave up with great defensive work from our goalie Ellen Burns, our sweeper Emma Heneghan & Emma Concannon. Our midfield duo Isabelle Murray & Katie Slattery worked tirelessly. Rebecca Noone was an inspiration in the forward line with her athleticism & shooting boots.  Hard luck girls!!  By Nathan Gannon, Molly Tiernan, Kelsey Moran
