On a fabulous bank holiday Monday evening in Mackey Park, Granagh/Ballingarry came to play Ahane. These two teams are no strangers to each other and have produced some classic games over the years.

Granagh/Ballingarry got off the mark first with a point from play which Ahane quickly responded with a point of their coming from corner forward Shauna D'Arcy. Roisin O'Mara got her first point of the game in the second minute. Granagh drew the game level in the fourth minute with a point. Ahane played some fantastic pieces of team play that saw a goal coming from Niamh Mulcahy in the seventh minute making it Ahane 1-03 Granagh 0-02. Ahane pushed on from there with Niamh tacking on another three points. In the fourteenth minute Shauna got her second point of the game after a great ball in from the middle of the field. Susie scored her first point of the game in the 20th minute, from the puck out, Ahane won the ball and Niamh Mulcahy scored Ahane's and her second goal of the game. There was fierce battling going on in all parts of the field and there were some wonderful pieces of hooking and blocking from both teams. The Granagh goalkeeper made a fantastic save from a bullet of a shot from Niamh, which rebounded off the goalkeepers hurley and went over the bar. Shauna added to her tally for the first half as she scored a goal in the 33rd minute of the first half. Ahane finished the first half strongly and went in at half time on a scoreline of Ahane 3-14 to Granagh 0-03.
