First and Second Year Camogie Comprehensive Win

Hazelwood Heroines First and Second Year Camogie


Hazelwood College 7.10
Colaiste Iosaef, Kilmallock 1.1

Hazelwood College’s First and Second Year County Camogie League team continued in their winning ways on Tuesday when they defeated Colaiste Iosaef Kilmallock in their final group game. On a lovely sunny day, it was clear from the outset the girls were fully focused on the task at hand, with a pointed free from Bríd Flanagan in the first few minutes launching the Hazelwood scoring. Sustained effort by Aoife McMahon, Michaela O’Donnell and Chris Boyce in defence laid the foundations for some lovely scores up front with a further 1-1 from Bríd Flanaganand a goal and point from Mary-Kate Fehin leaving the half time scores at 2-3 to no score.

Despite being well on top in the second half, the intensity levels from the Hazelwood team never dropped. Further scores from Bríd Flanagan and Mary-Kate Fehin as well as Íde Cunningham, Maeve McCarthy, Emma McNamara and Aoife McMahon cancelled out quickly the goal and point Kilmallock scored in the second half and Hazelwood ran out eventual winners on the above scoreline.

The team now go through as group winners to the semi-final stage. After two fantastic wins, confidence is high and the girls look forward to their next game.

Team: Cathy Foley, Chris Boyce, Abby McDermott, Emma Browne, Michaela O’ Donnell, Aoife McMahon, Aisling Enright, Íde Cunningham, Áine Cunningham, Lorna Donegan, Bríd Flanagan, Mary Kate. Fehin, Orlaith Hennessy, Medhbh McCarthy, Aoife Murray, Emma McNamara, Eimear Lenihan, Helena O’ Sullivan, Shannon Mason, Ava Mullane

Hazelwood Heroines Snatch Victory in Local Derby

Hazelwood Heroines Snatch Victory in Local Derby


Hazelwood College 3.15
SMI 0.03

Recently, Hazelwood College’s Junior Camogie team travelled the short distance to Newcastle West to compete against Scoil Mhuire agus Íde. On a fine day for camogie, the Hazelwood girls came out of the traps all guns blazing with Mary-Kate Fehin (0-2), Íde Cunningham, Shannon Mason and Bríd Flanagan (0-2) all on the scoreboard before SMI registered their first score. Continuous pressure by the Hazelwood girls left the half time score at 1-10 to one point. Despite their lead, the Hazelwood College girls never let up. A great save from Cathy Foley and dogged defending by back Aoife McMahon and Aisling Enright contributed to further scores up the field from Aisling Cunningham and Mary-Kate. Bríd Flanagan bagged two outstanding goals in the last quarter to finish the game as a contest. Well done to all involved!

Scorers: Bríd Flanagan (2.8 (0.03 frees)), Mary Kate Fehin (0.04), Shannon Mason (1.00), Íde Cunningham (0.02 (0.01 free)), Aisling. Cunningham (0.01)
