New York u16s battle hard to earn a win against Old Parish
The U16s earned a hard fought win over local team Old Parish in Ballymccarbery with the result of the game being marred by a knee injury to MVP on the day Andrea Mc Glade. New York played a great first half of football with a fantastic top corner finish from Tiffany Griffin in her first game at full forward. Colleen Wall did well after being introduced as an early substitute while Maeve Power showed up well with a fantastic point while Mc Glade was the star of the show making runs from all over and getting two points in the first half. Cecilia popped up with two points to make the half time score 2 -05 to 0-01 to the New Yorkers.
The second half degenerated into a real dog fight with Old Parish taking the game to the New Yorkers New York were best served by Michelle Finan who made a superb effort throughout the game while the Tara's Flanagan and Nevin tackled really well when the going got tough. Towards the end of the half as NY were holding on to a slender lead. Disaster in the second half for NY as their brightest light on the day Andrea Mc Glade was taken off midway through the half with a knee injury. Andrea was well looked after by the Ballymccarbery club and by the doctors in Clonmel. NY were well served throughout the day by Nora Kilkenny in goal who looked really assured and Laura O'Sullivan whose catching was fantastic on a very slippery and wet day.
