Round 6 of the Bons Secours Kerry LGFA Junior A Championship took place on Sunday last when Flexachem sponsored Laune Rangers Senior Ladies travelled away to face Clounmacon/Moyvane in Clounmacon on a dreadful morning for football. Very heavy rain fell throughout the game making the pitch very heavy and slippery. There was never much between the teams throughout, and the teams were level at Half Time at 0-6 each – Laune Rangers scores coming from Ailbhe Clifford,Nicole Moriarty (2), Ciara O’Brien, Rachael Evans & Fodhla Houlihan. Clounmacon/Moyvane started the second half brightly getting the all important goal early in the half which meant Laune Rangers were chasing the game in a down pour. They did their very best to bridge the gap but were unable to do so. Full Time Score:- Clounmacon/Moyvane 1-9, Laune Rangers 0-9. Laune Rangers:- Sarah O’Connor, Éabha Dolan, Andrea Nolan, Laura Patton, Erin Murphy, Ciara O’Brien, Meadhbh O’Sullivan, Kayleigh McGlashan, Rachael Evans, Laura Leslie, Meadhbh Johnston, Sophia Doherty, Ailbhe Clifford, Fodhla Houlihan, Nicole Moriarty.
