A strong first half performance set Meath side Clann na nGael (Athboy/Rathcairn) on their way to victory over the Dromard ladies in the Leinster Club Junior Championship semi-final at the Dromard grounds on Saturday.
Clann na nGael (Meath) . . . 2-15 Dromard . . . 2-4
Dromard were unable to contain the stronger Clann na nGael outfit in the first half as they opened up the Longford Intermediate champions defence on a number of occasions and had established a commanding 2-7 to 0-2 lead at the break.
Credit to Dromard for making a game of it in the second half, scoring a couple of goals from penalties converted by Michelle McManus, but they were always fighting a losing battle.
