TRUAGH/CLONLARA are “really looking forward to” the club’s first Munster senior camogie final appearance.
In a tight battle, Truagh/Clonlara emerged victorious against a strong Clonoulty Rossmore side to seal their place in the provincial final on a score of 3-10 0-13.
Joint captain, Laura Foley once again delivered an excellent display at centre back. She was thrilled that they prevailed in a tight battle against the Tipperary champions. “It came down to the last ten minutes and those two goals proved decisive. It was a cracker of a game and we are delighted to be in the Munster final”.
According to Laura, the disappointment of last year “was a big driving force. Last year it was our first year winning the county and we were so focussed on that. We lost by three points at this stage last year and they went on to win the Munster title We felt coming off the pitch that day that we had the beating of them. This year there was absolute belief and we are delighted now”.
Winning in front of their home support in Clonlara was a special feeling, she admitted. “It’s magic playing and winning in front of your home support. Everyone here has been brilliant, helping with preparations at the pitch and putting bunting up down the village. The roar of the crowd today dragged us over the line. This week it’s about getting the bodies right for next week’s final. We are really looking forward to it”.
They face Waterford side Gaultier in Sunday’s final which takes place in Fethard Town Park at 15:00.
