Carrigaholt Schools Team 6-8 – Ballynacally/Lissycasey 1-1 at Cusack Park, Ennis
THE rise of Carrigaholt schools through the ranks of the game continued in Cusack Park on Thursday last when they scored an impressive final victory over the Ballynacally/ Lissycasey amalgamation.
The west Clare amalgamation are made up of Carrigaholt, Moveen, Querrin and Doonaha schools and their 24-point win completed a hattrick of county schools titles in successive years.
In 2009 they won the Division 4 title, last year Division 3 honours came their way, while they made it three-in-a-row with this comprehen- sive win. They led by 2-6 to 1-0 at half-time, with player of the match Fidelma Marrinan showing the way all through.
They bagged an impressive 3-5 over the hour, while Shauna Melican and Caoimhe Harvey also chipped in with scores.
The victory made up for the disappointment of the narrow one-point defeat they suffered at the hands of Cross/Kilbaha in the mixed schools final in Kilmihil.
