Congratulations to our girls’ football team who completed 3 South Premier titles in a row today in Martinstown.
The girls faced tough opposition in a determined Scoil Dean Cussen side. Two first half goals from Ellie Dooley and Emily Higgins helped Herbertstown to a 2.00 to 0.01 lead at the break.
The second half was very tense with scores at a premium. Bruff scored an early goal before Emily tapped over a point at the other end to set up a tense finish. A massive effort from the Herbertstown defence ensured that Bruff only added a further point and our girls held on for a 2.01 to 1.02 win.
The girls will now go on to represent the South in the County semi-final in November.
Roinn C Boys Final
Our boys were in hard luck in the Roinn C final earlier today. Manister were the opposition and an early goal by Conor Mulcahy gave Herbertstown the lead before Manister levelled to make it 1 goal a piece at half time.
A quick goal and point by Manister gave them the advantage early in the second half before Herbertstown rallied through a goal by Cormac Dundon. However, Manister finished the stronger by adding some insurance points which helped them hang on for the win.
