Our Lady's PS Tullysaran Girls made the County Final. An amazing achievement in itself. The girls were thoroughly looking forward to the day out, played in the Box It Athletic Grounds. It was defintitely championship conditions, the sun blazing down and girls were in the zone, determined to make history.
The game started with serious intensity and never let up. The game was up and down, helter skelter. The ref even struggled to keep up. Every girl ran until their legs were numb. Madden were formiddable opponents and went ahead early in the game, leaving us lots to do. The girls stuck in and kept pace with Madden for much of the game, with only 2 points the gap at half time. Madden certainly got the rub of the green on the day and kept chipping points and goals to hold their lead throughout the game.
It was a unbelieveable effort by our girls, however the Madden girls matched them all the way and certainly were able to get the scores at key times that they needed to pull away in the closing stages and clinch the coveted prize of county champions.
We're proud of every single player on our girls football team. They have been exceptional all year and didn't let themselves down on the big day. What an experience playing in front of friends and family at the home of football in Armagh. Second in the county is something to be proud about! Well done girls!
