Monaleen to face Clare club in Munster junior camogie final

MONALEEN WILL face St Josephs Doora Barefield of Clare in the Munster AIB junior club camogie final this Saturday, November 25 at 2:00pm in the camogie grounds in the Ragg. 

The Limerick team had a convincing 3-16 to 0-8 victory over Waterford rivals Butlerstown at Ballyagran in last weekend's semi-final. 

Monaleen were quick to score their goals in the opening minutes of the semi-final through Ella Hession.

The goal triggered a rampant scoring spree for Monaleen, a pair of Ellie Madden frees were followed by two stand-out scores from the dangerous Caoimhe Lyons.

This scoring spree continued throughout the first-half and despite their 11 points advantage after the half-time break Monaleen continued to apply the scoring pressure. 

Their opponents St Josephs Doora Barefield also had a comprehensive win in their respective semi-final against Cilliard of Kerry, coming away with a 3-07 to 0-03 victory. 

This will be Monaleen’s second final of the season after coming away with the spoils in the Limerick intermediate county final. 

The squad overcame a determined Croagh–Kilfinny side to come away with a  2-15 to 2-10 victory. 

Monaleen will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of fellow Limerick club, Adare, who were the 2022 Munster junior camogie champions.
