The Under 13 Ladies Football team made the short journey to Golden on Friday, November 20th to take on St. Josephs Templemore in the County Final. As a result of having successfully won the Under 13 County Final last year, the team had to go up a division. Templemore were also beaten in their respective County Final last year so this was always going to be a very difficult task. Thomastown made a lightning quick start to the game and scored the first goal of the game. This lead was to be short-lived as Templemore replied with a goal of their own. The Thomastown girls weren't to be deterred by the St. Josephs' challenge and went on to score a couple of more goals to lead by 8 points at half time. Despite the 8 point lead, Templemore had some opportunities to score in the first half but the hard work and quick thinking of goalie Ava Agar and defenders Molly Hogan, Laura Hally and Kate Flannery meant that St. Josephs found it very difficult to convert these chances. Emer McCarthy, who proved to be a thorn in St. Josephs' side all throughout the game, began the second half as she finished the first by scoring another fantastic goal. She was ably assisted in the forward line by the tenacious Sarah O'Donnell. At this stage, the energetic duo of Lucy Fogarty and Fiona Tuohy were controlling the mid-field area and Thomastown were able to see off the Templemore challenge and win another county title. Joint captains Fiona Tuohy and Emer McCarthy were presented with the trophy after the game much to the delight of all our supporters in attendance. Well done to all of the panel, this was a real team effort especially as only one of last year's starting team was still in the school. Thank you to Golden Kilfeacle GAA club for the use of the pitch and facilities. Also, many thanks to Brian Leamy and Tommy Boles for setting up the goals and the pitch.
