Senior Ladies at Donaghmoyne
Date: 15 Oct 2009 / Viewed: 150 times
The Senior Ladies suffered the heartbreak of losing their Ulster Senior Championship Semi Final to current holders Donaghmoyne, last Sunday.
The home team settled into the game very quickly and went six points in front before Clann Eireann registered their first score. The team did come into the game in the last 10 minutes of the first half and managed to pull the score back, as they went in at the break 6 points to 3 down.
However, the second half was something similar to the first with Donaghmoyne dominating early proceedings, only to have Clann Eireann put in a strong finish. The Monaghan team probably just deserved their passage to the final with some fierce tackling and a few excellent scores from their No.14., being the highlights of their game. Our Ladies, although bitterly disappointed at the final whistle, will undoubtably look back on this match and know that there isn't a whole ball of difference between the two sides. All the players give it everything and this experience will do the younger members of the team a power of good.
To be able to play the semi final at home was an obvious bonus for Donaghmoyne and even having to forgo playing in their normal club colours was another disadvantage to Clann Eireann.
We won't mention 'Next Year' but rather say that the joy of winning the Ulster Title will definitely take place in the not too distant future.

Senior Ladies at Lacken
Date: 10 Oct 2009 / Viewed: 205 times
First of all, congratulations to Shauna O’Hagan on her nomination for an All Star award. Let’s hope that she goes one step further and wins it, either way her outstanding county performances have been recognised and it’s a great fillip for both herself and her Clann Eireann team mates as they prepare for their Ulster semi-final clash with Donaghmoyne.
Last week the Ladies Senior team travelled to Lacken, Co. Cavan, for a first round Ulster Championship clash. After a slow start, when the local team raced into a 3 point lead, the team settled into the task before them and quickly overhauled their hosts and went on to win fairly comfortably. No need to tell the ladies that a similar start against Donaghmoyne, in the semi, will prove a lot harder to pull back. Nevertheless, the team are playing some great football, allied with a fierce determination to succeed and their semi final clash with current champions Donaghmoyne promises to be a titanic struggle.
The match is fixed for Donaghmoyne, which is close to Carrickmacross, on Sunday(11/10/09).

Clann Eireann Ladies are celebrating a double championship win.

Clann Eireann Ladies are celebrating a double championship win. Last Wednesday the Minors overcame their neighbours St. Peter’s to land the County Minor Championship, the first since 2005. The following Saturday, at the Athletic Grounds Armagh, the Senior Ladies emulated their younger club members by lifting The Marie Hoye Senior Championship for the fourth year in a row, defeating Carrickcruppin Ladies.
The Minor match was played in very windy conditions. St. Peter’s played the first half with the strong breeze at their backs and there was little between the two teams at the interval, Clann Eireann edging in front by three points. As the two teams turned round for the second half, Clann Eireann now had the wind advantage. Right from the restart they went on the attack and within the space of a few minutes had bagged two goals and two points to put eleven points between the two teams. St. Peter’s tried hard to reduce this deficit, scoring a couple of goals of their own but Clann Eireann were not going to lose this lead and in the end they ran out winners on a final score of Clann Eireann 5-15 St. Peter's 2-7

The Seniors, holders of The Marie Hoye Cup, faced first time finalists Carrickcruppin in the senior final on Saturday evening. The first quarter laid the foundations for a Clann Eireann victory. Right from the start, Clann Eireann set about stamping their authority on the game. The county players led the way. Their experience of past finals and county games shone through as they quickly settled into the game. It wasn’t until the closing ten minutes of the first half that Carrickcruppin started to show their worth as they forced their way into proceedings and forced Clann Eireann back. Nevertheless, Clann Eireann ended the first half with a substantial lead. The second period witnessed a more determined Carrickcruppin and this half, in contrast to the first, was much more even but Clann Eireann Ladies held on to finish comfortable winners on a final score of Clann Eireann 2-18 Carrickcruppin 1-9
