Magheracoone dethroned Donaghmoyne in Monaghan.
IT SLIPPED SOMEWHAT under the radar at national level, but there was a huge story in ladies club football last weekend.Donaghamoyne saw their remarkable winning run ended by Magheracloone at the semi-final stage. Magheracloone triumphed on a scoreline of 0-9 to 0-4 and will now contest their first senior county final since 2002.
Advertisement “It’s been a long time since we have been in one, and for a lot of us, this is our first senior final. Growing up playing club football in Monaghan, getting to a county final is something I haven’t even dreamed about, because Donaghmoyne have been so dominant, and rightly so. A handful of those involved are coming full circle, though: Christina O’Reilly and Lorraine Freeman are still playing over two decades on, while management trio Niamh Kindlon, Fiona Kindlon and Susan McCahey were their team-mates in those fruitful years.
“We knew deep down that if we played well, it would be close. It wasn’t about, ‘If we win, then we’re in a county final.’ The final wasn’t even a thought. Standing in Magheracloone’s way is another heavyweight in Emyvale. The records aren’t widely available but it’s believed they have lost 18 finals to Donaghmoyne.
