St Lomans Mullingar 1.09 Killucan 0.05

St Lomans Ladies booked their place in the Championship final with a hard earned win against Killucan in The Downs on Tuesday evening last. The heroics of Amy Matthews in goals proved decisive with the blues keeper denying Killucan goals on five occasions!

Points from Ciara Blundell, Vicky Carr and Leona Archibold gave St Lomans a three point lead. Killucan were given an opportunity to level matters when they were awarded a penalty but Amy Matthews had other ideas and saved the kick. The blues keeper denied them again later in the half but Killucan did register two points from Fiona Leavy and Ciara O Looney. Ciara Blundell pointed in between these as St Lomans had a two point lead at the break.

A goal was always going to be the difference in a tight game like this and when a goal is needed Ciara Blundell usually steps up which she duly did three minutes into the half.  Her left footed lob found its way to the net and the blues took control from here. Points from Bridgie Heslin(2) and Leona Archibold(3) were enough to cancel out three second half points from Killucan.

 

St Lomans defence stood strong when Killucan mounted pressure with Muireann Scally and Rebecca Dunne leading the line along with the hard working Lucy Mc Cartan. The blues held on for a seven point win and now play Milltown in the decider. The Final is confirmed for this Saturday September 9^th in The Downs at 4.30pm.
