Fr McNamara Park:
Kilkishen/Bodyke 2-7 Inagh Kilnamona 1-16
Kilkishen/Bodyke looked like causing an upset in Fr McNamara Park and had the 2018 Champions on the rack for the first twenty minutes. However, Inagh Kilnamona composed themselves and ran out winners by 1-16 to 2-7.
Kilkishen/Bodyke started the game strong with a brace of points from Kate Lynch before Niamh O’Gorman drove through the Inagh Kilnamona defence and finished strongly to the back of the net, with her sister Kate following up with a brace of points.
At the other end Roisin Minogue, Alannah Ryan and Ava Quigley were thwarting the Inagh Kilnamona attack, and there were twenty minutes on the clock when Andrea O’Keeffe pointed to open the title holders tally.
Lynch added from play for the amalgamated side before the O’Keeffe twins and Aoibhin Ryan found the black spot with accuracy to leave the half time score Kilkishen/Bodyke 1-5 Inagh Kilnamona 0-5.
The second half started with an exchange of points from both sides. Kilkishen/Bodyke were unlucky with two goal chances by Niamh O’Gorman and Orla O’Brien denied by Rebecca Keating. Kilkishen/Bodyke made their first player change with Cara Close replacing Niamh O’Gorman in the forward line.
Points from Patricia Coote, Teresa O’Keeffe and Ryan had the sides level before Kate O’Gorman edged the amalgamation back in front. In a cat and mouse affair Andrea O’Keeffe levelled matters from play before an Amy Keating free put Inagh Kilnamona ahead for the first time with forty-two minutes on the clock.
Kilkishen/Bodyke responded through Kate O’Gorman to see the sides tied up again. Inagh Kilnamona finally gained a foothold in the game over the next ten minutes as points from Teresa O’Keeffe, Fiona Lafferty and Keating were followed by a goal from Hazel O’Connor to put some distance between the sides.
Keating added a further three points, one from a free, before Cara Close goaled for Kilkishen/Bodyke. Keating added another for Inagh Kilnamona before the final whistle, leaving the title holders still in the race for the McMahon Cup.

Fr McNamara Park:
Clooney Quin 0-14 Newmarket on Fergus 3-17
It was a case of winner takes all in this final group stage match with a semi-final place on offer for the winner.
It was Newmarket on Fergus that were first out of the blocks with a score from Jenny Kelly, with follow up points from free taker Aine O’Brien. The stick of Deirdre Murphy kept Clooney Quin within striking distance. However, mid-way through the first half Newmarket’s Ann Marie Hayes hit the net for first time.
The Blues were now in full flow and added points from Zoe McInerney, Carol O’Leary and Niki Kaiser. ClooneyQuin responded with points from Orlaith Duggan, Aoibhinn Duggan and frees from Deirdre Murphy. However, Newmarket pounced again on 20th minute with a well worked move that was finished to the net by Carol O’Leary.
This was followed up with two further points to leave score at half time of 2-7 to 0-9 points in favour of the girls in blue.
The gun metal skies which had threatened all day finally decided to empty at the restart, though with aid of the wind it was Newmarket who kicked on with scores from Jenny Kelly, Rachel Kelleher and Aine O’Brien.
With night closing in and torrential rain, mid-way through the second half Ann Marie Hayes hit for her second goal of game, putting the game beyond reach of Clooney Quin. Deirdre Murphy and Orlaith Duggan tried hard for Clooney whilst Newmarket had strong performances throughout the field.
