Kilkerrin/Clonberne 1-15
Burrishoole 0-4
Gerard Mulreaney in Charlestown
KILKERRIN/Clonberne won a landmark fifth successive Connacht Ladies Football Senior title after a comprehensive 14-point win over Mayo champions Burrishoole in Charlestown on Sunday.
Burrishoole, who were competing in their first Connacht final, beat Leitrim’s Glencar-Manorhamilton in the semi-final but were no match for the current All-Ireland club champions on a very heavy pitch following a downpour prior to throw-in.
Full-forward Ailish Morrissey scored the only goal of the game in the second half, while Eva Noone top scored for Kilkerrin/Clonberne with five points.
The Galway champions started off on the front foot, with the opening score of the game coming inside 90 seconds, courtesy of corner-forward Chloe Miskell, after Eva Noone pounced on a short kick-out to send Miskell into score.
Willie Ward’s charges, helped by a strong wind in the first half, then opened up a four point advantage after ten minutes with further points from Lynsey Noone and two frees from her sister Eva.
Despite the early onslaught, Burrishoole scored two frees from Maria Canon to reduce the deficit to two points. Kilkerrin/Clonberne were defending from the front, with Morrissey, Miskell, Louise Ward and the Noone sisters, Eva and Lynsey, putting pressure on the Burrishoole defence anytime they tried to play out from the back.
