Christopher Byrnes, the manager of the hotel helped to launch the bag and wished the club continued success. The Club appreciates the tasty food that was provided on the night from the Celtic Ross.

Medals were then presented to our victorious girls. Before this, the trainers involved at all levels were thanked for their tireless commitment to the club. This year all our underage teams received a West Cork medal, this achievement reflects that Rosscarbery Ladies Football Club are one of the best underage clubs in West Cork. The U 12 A and B team received medals as well as the U 14 and U 16 teams. In fact, the medals given out were designed by club member Sarah Hayes, who won the ‘Design a Medal’ competition last year The Junior C girls received a county medal for winning the County C League. There were some special presentations made to outgoing chairperson Susan Coakley for her diligent work over the last four years. Pa O Connor also received a token for his dedication and tie to the club.

           The Junior A team were in action last Wednesday night against Nemo Rangers in the Nemo pitch. The forwards really shone in this encounter with some great passing and fine scores. The Ross girls led  8 points to 1 at the break, but the Nemo girls put on some impact subs in the second half which really intensified the game. After three unanswered points from Nemo, Fiona O’ Callaghan found the back of the net taking some of the pressure off Rosscarbery. Marian Murphy then blasted a great shot past the Nemo keeper to really put daylight between the teams. At this stage, the backs closed down the Nemo attack and great blocks were made at attempts on goal.  Ross maintained their lead throughout and the defence had the honour of holding a clean sheet from goals until the 28th minute when goalkeeper Aine Kelly was deemed to have stepped over the line after catching a high ball lobbed into the goalmouth. However, some great saves from her throughout the match really helped the Ross girls secure the match. Rosscarbery 2-12, Nemo Rangers 1-6. Team: Aine Kelly, Sarah Coakley, Kate Hourihane, Deirdre Murphy, Sinead O‘ Brien, Noreen O’ Brien, Cait Mennis, Vicky Hennessey, Fiona O’ Callaghan (1-0) ,Aine Hayes (0-1), Marian Murphy (1-3), Megan O’ Riordan, ,Aileen Kearns  (0-1). Máire O’ Brien (0-5) Aoife Coakley (0-1) Subs: Donna O’ Regan (0-1)

            The Junior B team played championship in Ballincollig on Monday evening against Glanworth. All the breaks seemed to go against the Ross girls as an early penalty  was sent wide. Glanworth really showed their skill with some well taken points. Linda Hayes kept the Ross team in touch with a powerful goal five minutes into the first half. Tireless work by the Ross midfield ensured the ball was sent into the Ross forwards, however, the Glanworth backs blocked several Ross attacks on goal. Ross conceded a couple of goals in the first half, leaving it all to do in the second half. The Ross girls gave it everything in the second half as Anne Cussen was denied a goal from the penalty spot, thanks to the Glanworth goalie and Sinead O’ Brien was unlucky not to hit the back of the net when her shot came off the crossbar. The Ross girls were beaten by one of the best teams in the championship, who will more then likely go on to contest the final. Well done to all involved. Team: Mary Connolly, Orla Kelly, Noreen McCarthy, Moira Walsh, Grainne O’ Sullivan, Eilis O’ Brien, Eimear Hayes, Hannah Butler, Sinead O’ Brien, Amy Hayes, Elaine Wholley, Denise Collins, Linda Hayes, Helen Whyte, Anne Cussen. Subs: Megan Hayes, Hannah Shanahan, Deirdre O Donovan, Carol Bateman, Niamh Tobin.

Playing against a strong breeze in the first half, Glanworth were the first to score, while the Ross girls opened their scoring with a penalty, perfectly executed by Aileen Kearns in the eight minute of play. Scores from Tara Maguire and Máire O’ Brien helped settle the Ross girls while Glanworth picked off several good scores from play, the Glanworth girls going in ahead at the break, 0-9  to 1-3.  It was Glanworth who started the second half with a point from play which was replied by an Orla O’Sullivan point.  This period of play summed up much of the second half as both teams swapped points for points with some great scores coming from both sides.  A great drive midway through the second half by wing back Aine Hayes resulted in a point leaving the Ross girls just 2 points down with ten minutes to go, However, three unanswered points from Glanworth really swung the match in their favour. Ross made a late comeback with some super points from Maguire and O’ Sullivan , leaving the Glanworth girls with a dangerous lead of just three points deep into injury time. The final whistle coming as some relief as Glanworth emerged victorious on a score line of 0-16 to 1-10. The Ross girls put in a gallant effort but were beaten by the better team on the day.
