Feile na nGael Camogie Competition - D1

Lough Lene Gaels was one of five teams that participated in the Division 1 Group phase of the Westmeath Feile na nGael Camogie competition along four other teams.

The four teams alongside Lough Lene Gaels consisted of, St Munnas/Ringtown, Clonkill, Castletown Geoghegan and Drumraney. Fixtures were played on a single round basis at McCabe Park, Turin on Sunday April 12th. Lough Lene Gaels and St Munnas/Ringtown qualified to contest the Division 1 Feile na nGael Camogie Cup final, that was played at Decotek Park, Collinstown on Monday evening, April 13th.
Lough Lene Gaels and St Munnas/Ringtown served up a high standard match of Camogie, played with a large number of spectators in attendance, whose presence created a magnificent atmosphere. The teams were on level terms at half time, Lough Lene Gaels 1.01 St Munnas 1.01. Aimee O’Neill 1.00 and Sarah Louise Murtagh 0.01 were the Lough Lene Gaels first half scorers. A second Aimee O’Neill goal put Lough Lene Gaels 2.01 to 1.01 ahead six minutes into the second half.

St Munnas responded in the closing quarter of play by scoring a point, and then a goal, gaining possession of the match lead by a one point margin as a consequence as the end of normal playing time. Lough Lene Gaels seemed to be heading towards a defeat, as the momentum of match play was certainly now in favour of St Munnas/Ringtown. Lough Lene Gaels proceeded then to draw though on the traits in their possession of resilience and self belief, levelling the match scoreline via a Aimee O’Neill point (45m award), before team captain Sarah Louise Murtagh scored what was fated to be the match winning point for the Purple and Golds.

Amidst an aura of both delight and to be frank and sincere, also  relief from a Lough Lene Gaels perspective, Lough Lene Gaels team captain Sarah Louise Murtagh was presented with the Division 1 Feile na nGael Camogie Cup by Westmeath Camogie Board Chairperson Deirdre Clarke. Lough Lene Gaels Camogie Club warmly and sincerely congratulates its U15 panel of players and team management, and acknowledges the magnificent and positive contribution made to this match by St Munnas/Ringtown.
