Grattans captured the Ladies Football Intermediate Championship title with a comfortable win over Dromard in the final at Emmet Park on Saturday last.
Grattans . . . 3-8 Dromard . . . 1-4
The Stonepark side were always in control of this game and they will make a return to the senior ranks following this success.
Grattans were 2-4 to 0-0 in front after 13 minutes with Tessa Tiernan and Caoimhe Lohan scoring the crucial goals and Dromard never recovered from their bad start.
It was a performance of pace and power from the winners while Dromard just never got going.
It capped a terrific week for the Grattans club, with the men winning the Junior ‘A’ Championship title the previous Sunday.
