“Hazelwood’s three in a Row”

Hazelwood College, Dromcollogher 2-13
Doon Convent,Doon 3-5

Played in Croom recently, Hazelwood College defeated a strong Doon side for the third year and are the proud holders of the Senior Trophy. Playing against a strong breeze in the first half, Hazelwood defended very well throughout this period and held Doon to six scores. Lizzie Costello(2), Joanne O’ Gorman(1) and Jen Stokes(1) recorded four great points leaving the half time score Hazelwood 0-4, Doon 2-4.

Turning with the breeze at their backs, the Drom girls took on Doon and had the game turned around fifteen minutes into the half. Two cracking goals from Clodagh Reidy and Lisa Molyneux set up the victory and with more points coming from Joanne O’ Gorman(2) , Clodagh Reidy(2), Jen Stokes(1) and a free from Lizzy Costello the game was never in doubt. Doon hit back briefly with a goal and a point but three more scores from Clodagh Reidy (2) and Lisa Molyneux (1) the game was in the bag. Doon missed a very late penalty which was the last kick of the game.

Best for Hazelwood on the day were M. Buckley, C. Reidy, L. Molyneux, N. Greaney, J. Stokes, L. Costello and J. O’ Gorman.

John Philips refereed the game well and Timmy Woulfe presented the cup to Captain Siobhan Lehane who commented on the great lively sporting game of football.
