Alphie Rodgers charges will contest the Munster Senior Camogie Final for the second campaign in a row after the East Clare Ladies defeated Sarsfields of Cork in the Munster Senior Camogie Semi-Final today at Dr.Stuart Park, Ogonnelloe.
The reigning county and provincial champions were pressed all the way in Ogonnelloe as a haul of three first half points from Aoife Power and the unerring accuracy of Maireád Scanlon from placed balls helped the Clare representatives on their way to an 0-08 to 0-06 advantage at the break.
Not long after the restart however the Cork finalists had levelled matters with Maeve McCarthy notching 1-01 in the space of five minutes.
However the champions issued a defiant response with Maireád Scanlon, Aoife Power, Abby Walsh & substitute Aisling Corbett hitting the next four scores in a row coupled with the staunch resistance of Amy Barrett, Ciara Doyle and Laoibhse O’Donnell in defence propelling the North East Clare ladies on their way to victory.
Scariff-Ogonnelloe will now meet Tipperary champions Drom & Inch in the Munster decider after edging out Sarsfields of Cork on a full time score of 0-16 to 1-11 in Dr.Stuart Park
