The Kildare U14 team got their first win in their Leinster championship campaign on Easter Saturday with a seven point victory over Wexford. It was the Wexford corner forward Annie Dempsey who got the scoring underway in Marshalstown with a goal in the opening seconds of the game. Kildare were still trying to settle into the game and with two minutes played, Ciara Wheeler opened the scoring for the lilywhites after linking up with Megan Grufferty from a free. Kildare captain Aisling O’Connor popped over Kildares second point following a great spell of play involving Wheeler and Kellie Fisher. Kildare began to dominate the field and looked very impressive on the attack. Louise Scully added a further two points for her side before Wexford secured their second score of the game on 8 minutes. With 10 minutes gone, Kildare full forward Niamh Bergin fisted the ball over the bar. Kildare were very much on top at this stage and Scully and Wheeler added a point each. With 15 minutes on the clock, Ciara Ryan added Wexfords second point following severe pressure from the Kildare defence. A minute later, Ellie O’Toole blazed over the bar for a great Kildare point. Wheeler added another 2 points before the break. Wexford finished the strongest scoring 3 unanswered points. Half time score Wexford 1-5 Kildare 0-10. Wexford once again opened the scoring of the half with a good point. Molly Price got her name on the score sheet with a well taken point and always caused a threat to the Wexford defence. Any attempt Wexford made to get back into the game, Kildare added to the scoreline. Molly Price added her second point 18 minutes into the second half. A minute later Kilcullens Ellie Quinn put her boot to the ball in a goal mouth scramble and buried it past Brid Byrne in the Wexford goals. This put Kildare four points ahead. Wexford came bursting up the field and within a minute had the ball in the back of the Kildare net. Kildare continued to put pressure on the Wexford defence and were rewarded with 2 fine scores from Louise Scully and Niamh Bergin. The Naas full forward was unlucky to have her goal chance cleared off the line. Kildare finished out the game the strongest and outscored the home side 0-6 to 0-2 in the final ten minutes of the game. This was a cracking game of football with two competitive skilful teams. Best for Kildare were Miah Phelan in the full back line, Sabrina Kennedy and Aine Nash cut out so many Wexford attacks. Ciara Wheeler and Aisling O’Connor worked tirelessly in the middle. The half forward line of Molly Price, Megan Grufferty and Kellie Fisher battled hard and instigated numerous attacks. Louise Scully had a fine game for Kildare in the corner forward position. The Kildare team was Mairead Dolan (Leixlip), Bronagh Kearney (Maynooth), Miah Phelan (St Laurences), Avril Fitzpatrick (St Laurences), Niamh Dunne (Na Fianna), Sabrina Kennedy (Kildangan Nurney), Aine Nash (Monasterevin), Ciara Wheeler (St Laurences) 0-6 (1 f), Aisling O’Connor (Kilcock) 0-2, Molly Price (Sarsfields) 0-2, Megan Grufferty (St Laurences) 0-2, Kellie Fisher (Sarsfields), Ellie O Toole (Kilcullen) 0-1, Niamh Bergin (Naas) 0-2, Louise Scully (Kildangan Nurney) 0-5 (2 f). Subs Ciara Robottom (Robert Emmets), Ciara Ferris (Leixlip), Melissa O Brien (Sarsfields), Ellen Quinn (Confey) 1-0.
