Division 1 Kildangan Nurney 4-11 Leixlip 2-8
Kildangan Nurney Under 14's secured a Division 1 Final place with great win against Leixlip on Thursday evening. Kildangan Nurney were first out of the traps with a Louise Scully point, and continued in this vein for the remainder of the first period. Goals by Aine Merrins and Louise Scully and points by Sabrina Kennedy, Louise Scully and Lauren Kelly resulted in a 2:08 to 0:01 half time lead for Kildangan Nurney. Leixlip were a changed team in the second half, regsitering the first two points to begin to claw back their huge deficit. Kildangan Nurney fought back through a great individual Aine Merrins goal, where she rounded a number of defenders and shot past the Leixlip keeper. Louise Scully blazed up the field and added a second goal minutes later. In fairness to Leixlip they were keeping in touch in the second half, led by their Midfielder Sorcha Sunderland who scored a cracking goal midway through the second half. Indeed if they had played the first with the same tenacity the result could very well have been different, as Aine Fitzmaurice added a second goal to their second half tally with minutes remaining. However, although scoring 2:07 in the second period, there was just too big a gap to bridge, as Kildangan Nurney were keeping the scoreboard ticking over with points by Sabrina Kennedy, Lauren Kelly and Louise Scully. Kildangan Nurney were worthy winners with a seven point margin 4:11 to 2:08.They go on to face St Laurences in the Division 1 final, the third time these teams will meet in a Division 1 final in as many years.  Best for Leixlip were the aforementioned Aine Fitzmaurice and Sorcha Sunderland, Sorcha Tiernan, Racida Chemiaou and goalkeeper Mairead Dolan. In a great team effort, best for Kildangan Nurney were defenders Orla O'Donovan and Emily Cains, MIdfielder Sabrina Kennedy and up front Lauren Kelly, Louise Scully and Aine Merrins.

Div 4 Ballymore 1-6 Athy 1-18

Ballymore 1 – 6 Athy 1 – 18
Ballymore faced Athy on the 15th of May at home. Athy won the toss and had a strong wind in the first half, Athy quickly took advantage of the wind notched up a couple points on the score board. Athy did not have it easy though, heroic efforts from Stacey Balfe in full back and Aoife O’Toole in goals kept Ballymore in contention. Aoife O’Toole made the save of the league within the first 5 minutes denying Athy a sure fire goal. The rest of the backs took the lead of the goalkeeper and continually made block after block with every body part imaginable. Despite the great work being done, Ballymore struggled to keep Athy’s sharp shooters at bay. Eventually Ballymore put two points on the board courtesy of Aisling Hubbard and Lesley Tutty. As half time was called, Athy’s confidence was high with 10 points etched on the scorecard and Ballymore had a mountain to climb. In the second half Ballymore came out fighting, with the wind at their backs they managed to claw back a few scores. A goal from Aisling Hubbard, helped in by Lesley Tutty saw a new wave of confidence go through the team. Athy answered back and eventually managed to put the ball past Aoife O’Toole. Ballymore’s new found tempo began to dwindle and Athy maximised on this with several unanswered points.

Kildare U16s secure Leinster final spot

U16 Leinster championship Kildare 4-16 Meath 5-7
This game was played in excellent conditions in Sarsfields GAA. Kildare started the game at a lightening pace, and within the first five minutes, Niamh Mulhall had the ball in the back of the Meath net for the first of four Kildare goals. This was quickly followed by a point from Ellen Dowling and a second Kildare goal, this time from Mikaela Mc Kenna. Orla Moran from Athy was brought into the game to replace Derbhaile Byrne who was brought off after a knee injury. Moran had an immediate effect, and kicked a fine point upon her entrance. This was followed by points from Mikaela Mc Kenna, Niamh Mulhall and two from Ellen Dowling. Meath had no answer to this Kildare dominance. Daire Smyth performed well in the middle of the field, along with Shauna Kendrick and Chanice Corcoran. Meath responded with two good points from Grace Malone and Stacey Grimes. Mc Kenna from Kildare responded with her second goal. Meath were quick to reply to this, and following a fine exchange of passes stuck the ball over the bar for their third point of the game by Ellie Lane. Kildare led at half time on a scoreline of 3-7 to 0-3. Meath emerged from the half-time break and began the second half at a blistering pace, scoring 2-3 within the first twelve minutes; goals by Aoife Flatterty and Alicia Curtis, and some fine points by Kellie Harris and Stacey Grimes gave Meath the determination that they needed to get back into the game. Kildare responded well and kept the scoreboard ticking over with scores from Mikaela Mc Kenna, Niamh Mulhall and Ellen Dowling once again. Meath kept in touch with a further point from Kellie Harris and a goal in the 25th minute from Sarah O' Brien. This set the game on knife edge for the final five minutes. In the 28th minute Meath were awarded a penalty, which they duly stuck in the back of the Kildare net. However, Kildare responded excellently and Mikaela Mc Kenna scored her third goal of the game. This was followed by a point from Ellen Dowling to seal the Kildare victory, and a place in the u16 B Championship final against Wexford on the 7th July.  Special mention must go to Rachel Cribben who performed excellently throughout the game with a player of the match performance; Emma Wheeler, Sarah O' Neill and Ellen Dowling also put in some fine performances, along with Mikaela Mc Kenna who finished on a personal tally of 3-5. Kildare Scorers: Mikaela Mc Kenna 3-5, Ellen Dowling 0-5, Niamh Mulhall 1-2, Orla Moran 0-3, Shauna Kendrick 0-1.
