Thu, Oct 24, 2019

Having won their seventh county title in a row, and also defeating the mighty Carnacon for the second year in succession, Kilkerrin Clonberne will face Roscommon’s Kilbride in the Connacht Senior Ladies' Football Championsip final at St Croan’s GAA (2pm).

Kilkerrin Clonberne manager Kevin Reidy will hope Olivia Divilly can continue her form, having sandwiched a quick trip to Australia for trials in between two sublime performances in the county final and Connacht semi-final. However, it has been an all-round team performance that has made the Galway championship their own in the last number of years, and Kilkerrin/Clonberne will be hoping to continue their push for an All-Ireland medal, having been beaten by the Cork champions in 2018.

Frustratingly, though, the game played out as an almost carbon copy of their previous performance, and despite a great effort defensively, an unbalanced offence meant Moycullen had to chase for most of the game, losing to Belfast Star by 76-68.
