Danesfort 0 -08 Piltown 2 -20
Forwards power Piltown on.
Piltown were out of the blocks quickly on a cool breezy evening in Danesfort, a goal chance in the first minute for Sophie Holden that was bravely saved by Bronagh Davis in the Fort goal, the ball was kept alive by Piltown, it was worked to Kellyann Doyle, and Doyle put it over the bar. A sign of Piltowns intent , attack quickly and directly.
It was paying off, with Alice Talbot, Katie Power, Leah Cooney and Doyle again all scoring before the home side opened their account in the 18th minute with a free from centre back Olivia Mahony.
Mahony would tag on another two frees before Shauna Mahony scored a fine point from the left side in the 28th minute to bring the deficit to six points. That would change after a penalty was awarded in the 30th minute.
Piltown won another puckout through Laura Norris, she delivered the ball to Katie Power on the 21, she released the flying Sophie Holden, clean through on goal and as she was about to shoot , she was upended unceremoniously by a defender, and it had to be a penalty.
Aoife Norris made the long run up, and she despatched the sliothar low and hard to the net, and Grace Farrell had time to score a point from close range when it looked like a certain goal , to finish the half.
HALF TIME – Danesfort 0 -04 Piltown 1 -11

HALF TIME – Danesfort 0 -04 Piltown 1 -11
The teams switched ends and the breeze had died down a bit, but Piltown would score first , through another free from Doyle, Danesfort replied with another free of their own from Shauna Mahony , followed with a great score from out on the right wing from Aoife Farrell. Ruby Norris got another from out on the left, matched by one from Niamh Davis as she burst through after Muireann Kelly found her.
Danesfort were working hard, and were putting on a good display for a team making the big step up from Intermediate, and they will improve with the experience. That type of experience was paying off for Piltown as a pass from Alice Talbot was caught cleanly by Heather Phelan, she turned , looked for a team mate and found the inrushing Kellyann Doyle and Doyle blasted the sliothar to the net. The scoreline was harsh on the home side, Piltown were clinical and efficient. Another goal chance came to the southerners when Heather Phelan had possession, and aimed for the bottom right corner , and with the keeper beaten, it was full back Ciara Gleeson the batted the ball away for a 45. Doyle put it over the bar to end the game. A good display by our Senior side.
Piltown will play Tullaroan in the League Final on 19th or 20th Sept (to be confirmed)
