Naomh Fionnbarra 2-3 Roche Emmets 8-9

The U16 girls maintained their perfect start to the season with a third consecutive victory, defeating Naomh Fionnbarra in Togher on Wednesday night.

Centre-forward Lauren Briscoe was again to the fore, hitting 2-6, while rampaging midfielder Hannah McArdle struck for a brace of goals.

Ciara Jane Whyte got through serious work at midfield and management have really high hopes for the fledgling Faughart star. Ellen Smith, the team’s powerful No14, did the hosts a lot of damage and struck 2-1, with Molly Kirk, Naoise McGeeney and Eimear Traynor strong forces in defence.

Emmets host Glyde/Westerns in Roche on Wednesday night (7:30pm).
