Junior CamogieCork Colleges

Junior Camogie Cork Colleges

The Hazelwood College Junior camogie team impressed with two very good victories to progress into two different county finals. They are now in the Junior Cork Colleges Competition and the Junior Limerick Colleges Competition. The Hazelwood girls progressed to the Junior Cork Colleges Competition on Thursday 28th of February with a very impressive victory over Bandon in the school pitch. The Hazelwood girls were in control of this game from the very first whistle and dominated throughout the game. The move of Cliona O’ Callaghan from midfield into full forward, due to illness, started the Hazelwood girls scoring spree. This move paid off for the Hazelwood team as she scored her first goal straight away, one of the eight goals that she scored throughout the game. Bandon could only manage one score in the whole game which was a goal that came in the middle of the second half. Hazelwood continued to dominate and they were the deserving winners on the scoreline of 8-10 to 1-00.

Hazelwood Vs Bandon: C. Ryan, R. McNamara, S. Shanahan, E R. Mulcahy, C. O’ Brien, T. Fitzgibbon (0-01), L. Enright, E. Mulcahy (0-04), C. O’ Callaghan (8-04), L. Stack (0-01), N. McCarthy, A. McMahon, S. Kenneally, C. Foley, N. O’ Brien.
