Munster Under 16A Final. 

Tipperary 3-06 

Cork 2-18 

The Munster U16 A final took place last Friday evening in Kilmallock GAA. Cork started at a ferocious level and quickly raced into a commanding lead. Runners from midfield and wing forward were splitting the Tipperary defence causing all sorts of problems. Early points from Emer Dwan kept Tipperary in touch along with a well taken Ciara O’ Hora goal. Cork however gained control again with a massive 2-13 to 1-03 halftime lead in their favour. Danielle Ryan’s point was Tipperary’s sole score over a 20 minute period. Tipperary did come close to getting a second goal when Hannah Butler broke through, but the advancing Cork keeper made a brave save. For Cork Kate Fennessy, Amy Sheppard and Ava Fitzgerald  were scoring freely from long range and full forward Louise O’Niell also caught a high ball and finished to the Tipp net during a difficult opening 30 minutes for Tipperary. 


In the 2nd half, Sarah Corcoran was superb at centre back thwarting many Cork attacks. Emer Dwan and Sarah Corcoran scored a point from play and a 45m. Ava Bevans was introduced as a sub and quickly contributed 1-1. Ali O’ Kelly, also a sub got Tipperary’s 3rd goal. Eabha Dolan also made a crucial block preventing a Cork goal.Tipperary can now re-group and prepare for the All Ireland championship in July.
