Shannon Rovers 0-08

Toomevara   0-06

Toomevara's Junior B team bowed out at the county semi final stage against a fine Shannon Rovers side this weekend. With both defences on top, Toomevara will rue some of the opportunities they failed to capitalise on. Therese Maxwell, Louise Young and Anna Woods took some great scores for a well coached Toomevara team. Paul Treacy's charges fought to the bitter end with Samantha Ryan and Tricia Cleere leading the charge in a teak tough defence. Paula Ryan was outstanding in the Toomevara goals as she repelled many a Rovers attack. For Shannon Rovers all 6 backs worked extremely hard while Amanda and Sarah Bourke were excellent. Nicola Kelly and keeper Megan Dunne were others to impress as the North Tipp team booked their place in this year’s decider.
