LISCANNOR’s efforts to claim a first provincial ladies football came undone when going down to a strong Glanmire outfit on Saturday.
Glanmire 2-11
Liscanor 0-3
Venue: Mallow GAA Complex
Successive Munster Senior B titles have been secured by the Cork side who controlled matters from start to finish.
Roisin Considine helped Liscannor take the lead but Glanmire equalised through player of the game Orlaith Roche on twelve minutes. A brace of Aishling McAllen frees settled the Cork side who had spurned two goal chances by the turn of the first quarter.
A second Considine score reduced the arrears to five points by half time. Their final point arrived via Maria Fitzgerald on forty minutes, by which the score was 0-10 0-3.
In the final six minutes, Glanmire struck for their two goals, Aoife Treacy and McAllen raising the green flags. They were vital scores not just for their significance but also because they ended up down to thirteen with Olivia McAllen and Clodagh O’Donovan both sin-binned within the sixty seconds.
It brings the curtain down on a hugely progressive season for Tony Roche’s Liscannor outfit who reached the semi-finals in their first year at senior level before overcoming quality opposition from Tipperary and Waterford in the Munster Senior B championship.
Scorers for Glanmire: Aishling McAllen 1-5 (0- 4 f), A Treacy 1-0, O Roche, A O’Mahony 0-2 each, M Barry, Ava McCarthy 0-1 each.
