Sarsfields Bow Out in Stormy Conditions
Thurles Sarsfields (Tipperary) 0-5
Erins Own (Waterford) 3-1
Thurles Sarsfields bowed out in the quarter final of the Munster Club championships on Sunday afternoon last October 4th in Fraher Field, Dungarvan when they lost to Waterford’s Erin’s Own.
The recently crowned Tipperary Intermediate Champions lined out were without a number of their starting 15 from their County Final win most notably their top scorer from that game Eimear McGrath. Stormy conditions and a cross field wind on Sunday afternoon did not help the game with the opening score coming just before the water break with a goal from Erin’s Own captain Becky Conroy. Sarsfields got their first score of the game an Aoife Dwyer point in 26th minute of the opening half. Erin’s Own had the upperhand and went in at the break 2-1 their second goal also coming from Becky Conroy to Sarsfields 0-2. Sars second point from Sarah McKevitt.
On resumption of play Sarsfields fought hard and by the second waterbreak had managed to hold Erins Own scoreless while Sarah McKevitt had added two points to Sarsfields tally. However a late goal by Erin’s Own substitute Libby Ryan put the game beyond doubt to leave the final score Erin’s Own 3-1 Thurles Sarsfield 0-5.
