Kildare v Dublin - Bord Gais Energy NFL

Kildare v Dublin
Kildare senior ladies footballers opened their Bord Gais Energy league campaign with a home game against Leinster rivals Dublin. This is very much a new look Kildare team featuring a new manager and new faces for the 2012 season. Facing Dublin at any time of the year is always a tough task but this Dublin team arrived to Ballykelly in flying form and made their intentions known early in the game. By half-time they had created a gap between the sides Kildare 0-1 Dublin 3-8. Dublin continued to dominate the game and finished with an impressive win 5-18 to 0-06. On what was a bad day at the office for Kildare some positives to be drawn include a good performance from Aisling Savage in the full back line, Moolick worked hard and the highlight of the day was the debut of St.Laurences star Eimear Fogarty who scored 2 points and gave a good performance. The introduction of the new faces in to the team shows the transition taking place in the team at present. Other scores came from Aine Gately (0-2), Mary Hulgraine (0-1) and Gillian Behan (0-1). The Kildare team was Catriona Dolan, Kiri Lowry, Aisling Savage, Niamh Quinn, Michelle Carey, Kate Leahy, Denise Tierney, Joanna Timmins, Aisling Holton, Emer Fogarty, Maria Moolick, Mary Hulgraine, Aine Gately, Siobhan Hurley, Erica Burke. Subs: Grace Clifford from Timmins, Susan Byrne for Hulgraine, Gillian Behan for Leahy, Ciara Hogan for Carey, Roisin Byrne for Hurley, Sinead Melia for Behan, Dearbhail Kelly for Burke, Samantha Keatley for Quinn. Next up for Kildare is a home game against Donegal Sunday 12th February in Ballykelly at 2pm.
