Templemore finish strongest to claim Intermediate title

LADIES GAELIC Football: County Intermediate Championship Final

 

Templemore 4-12

Thurles Sarsfields 3-13

 

A cracking finish to a great weekend of Ladies Football is how best to sum up this County Intermediate Ladies Football Final encounter between near neighbours Thurles Sarsfields and Templemore on Sunday evening.

Templemore got the game off to a dream start knocking in three goals in the opening twelve minutes, two came from Aine Delaney and who turned provider in the creation of the third goal, passing to Ruth Butler who made no mistake adding the goal to her earlier point.

Sarsfields Sarah McKevitt steadied the ship with four pointed frees. Still Templemore drove on this time it was Louise Caddell who first pointed and then found the net to register their fourth goal in the opening half. This was quickly followed with a point by Katie Bourke.

However on the approach to half time, Eimear McGrath breached the Templemore defence goaling for Sarsfields to register their first goal at a crucial time. Two more points in stoppage time from McKevitt saw Sarsfields narrow the deficit to just four points, 4-4 to 1-9.
