Hazelwood Cruise to Munster Final Victory
Hazelwood College: 2-8
St Patricks: 1-0
Despite the harsh weather conditions, the Hazelwood college camogie team displayed a gutsy performance to find victory over St. Patricks, Cork City. The first fifteen minutes saw an extremely close contest with no score. The Hazelwood forwards put the St. Pats backs under extreme pressure and were unlucky not to score sooner. The game burst into life when Siobhan Enright placed a bullet into the left corner of the net leaving the Cork city goalkeeper with no chance. From here Hazelwood displayed their skill and fitness and began to dominate the first half. The second-half was a close run affair and followed a similar pattern to the first with Hazelwood dominating the early exchanges only for St. Pats to rally back. A late goal from St. Pat’s gave the school a new lease of life and the Hazelwood backs were put under enormous pressure. Sinead Kiely was simply outstanding and make many fine clearances from the full back line. Joanne O’ Gorman’s Trojan work at midfield didn’t go unrewarded scoring four points during the game and reeked havoc in all positions in the field for St. Patricks. Niamh Cagney showed what a true hurler she is and terrorised the backs throughout the game. Great performances from every player on the field were displayed and ensured that Hazelwood cruised to their first ever Camogie Munster title.
