Goals from Rachel Moran and Grace Connolly just before the half-time break proved to be the decisive scores in the eventual success for Scoil Mhuire Trim in the Ladies Football Leinster Post-Primary Schools Senior ‘B’ Championship Final at the Kinnegad grounds on Friday.
Scoil Mhuire Trim . . . 5-11 Mean Scoil Mhuire Longford . . . 1-8
That left Scoil Mhuire Longford trailing by 2-5 to 0-6 and facing a real uphill battle in the second half but they made a determined bid to get back into contention and the gap was closed to four points when Mia Shannon shot to the net in the 54th minute.
Moments later Mean Scoil Mhuire almost scored a second goal, only for the move to break down after a vital interception by the Trim keeper Aoibheann Corcoran, and soon after the killer blow was struck when the player of the match award winner Emma Hanifin found the back of the net to clinch the provincial title for the Meath school.
While it was a deserved triumph for Scoil Mhuire Trim, the final scoreline was rough justice on the Longford town school who conceded a couple of more goals with time running out.
