We are almost at final stage in all five Galway
Camogie adult championships after last weekend's action, where 9 semi-finals
were played and 8 were decided upon.
Senior
St. Thomas will appear in their first Senior
championship final in the next few weeks after getting past Eyrecourt in the
first semi-final in Loughrea on Saturday afternoon. Goals win matches and it was certainly true
in this contest with St. Thomas getting 6 to Eyrecourt's lone green flag, to
win 6-7 to 1-8.
In an epic second semi-final, Sarsfields eventually
held sway over their very old rivals Mullagh AET, 2-13 to 1-12. The game
extended to 106 minutes in total play (including injury time), the deadlock
being finally broken at the start of the second half of extra time with
Sarsfields' second goal to put real daylight between the teams. Normal time had seen both teams at 1-11 each.
Intermediate
Kinvara and Carnmore will meet in the Intermediate
final with deserved wins over Kiltullagh/Killimordaly and Mountbellew/Moylough
respectively. The games were played as a
double-header in Ballinasloe yesterday afternoon.
Kinvara 1-8 0-6 Kiltullagh/Killimordaly
Carnmore 0-18 1-9 Mountbellew/Moylough
Junior
A
Ballinderreen eventually got the better of Liam
Mellows in the remaining semi-final played in Lackagh on Saturday morning. The
score was 3-7 to 4-1 to Ballinderreen for a full 15 minutes of the second half
but three very late goals from Ballinderreen eventually broke the city club's
resistance and hearts.
Ballinderreen now play Bóthar na Trá in the final.
Junior
B
Kilconieron and Na Brideoga (Mayo) played a
sensational draw in Kilconieron on Sunday morning, 4-6 to 1-15. They teams could not be separated after 10
minutes each way of extra time and will have to replay later this week. The winners will play Sarsfields who had an
easy victory over St. Thomas yesterday evening in New Inn in front of a very
sizeable crowd, 2-11 to 0-6.
Junior
B 12-a-side
Portumna and St. Colmans qualified for the 12-a-side
final over the weekend. They had facile
victories over Killimor and Davitts respectively.
