Sarsfields 1-17 Truagh/Clonlara 0-6 SIOBHAN McGRATH BROKE broke the game wide open and her sister Niamh provided the flourishes with some stupendous shooting, as Sarsfields , managed by their father Michael, secured a fourth All-Ireland club senior camogie title.
Skipper Laura Ward, Maria Cooney and Klara Donohue were others to stand out but in truth Sarsfields were on a different plane to Truagh/Clonlara, gutsy though they were to the final whistle.They seemed nervous early on and too often failed to gather possession cleanly. They more than held their own in the physical exchanges but operated more on an individual basis, with few supporting runners to the player in possession and a reluctance to use them if they did materialise.
This was in spite of Truagh/Clonlara having the lead twice early on, first through a pointed free by their chief scoregetter Áine O’Loughlin, and then via Eimear Kelly, after McGrath had equalised. A lovely point by Hannah Horgan was a much needed score for the Clare crew but in the blink of an eye, Siobhán McGrath was clear of the cover and adding to her phenomenal goal scoring record in All-Irelands for club and county.
With the introduction of Laoise and Ciara McGrath, here were six siblings on the pitch at one stage, before Siobhán was withdrawn late on.
