Lidl Ladies NFL Division 1 Round 6 Report

Cork 1-17

Kerry 2-6

By ANTHONY NEWMAN

A goal from Hannah Looney helped Cork to a derby victory over Kerry in their Lidl NFL Division 1 clash at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

The home side had to withstand a second-half comeback from the table-toppers to inflict a first league defeat on Kerry this season.

Orlaith Cahalane opened the scoring for Cork in the second minute, picking up the loose ball after Katie Quirke’s shot on goal had been blocked. Eimear Kiely added a second from the restart as Cork pushed up to try and put pressure on the Kerry kick-outs.

Four minutes in, and from their first attack, Hannah O’Donoghue pointed for the Kingdom to make it 0-2 to 0-1. O’Donoghue thought she had levelled it, but her effort was ruled out for taking too many steps.

Quirke combined with Sarah Leahy for the former to get Cork’s third point before O’Donoghue missed a good opportunity to reduce the gap.

Rachel Dwyer made it 0-3 to 0-2 as Kerry started to settle into the game. Kiely and Ciara O’Sullivan both scored to keep Cork ahead before they too had a goal chance ruled out for overcarrying.

Libby Coppinger added a point, before Ciara O’Sullivan set up Hannah Looney for the game’s opening goal, to make it 1-6 to 0-2 with 19 minutes played.

O’Donoghue and Dwyer, from a free, responded for Kerry with Cahalane replying at the other end. Two more from Kiely saw Cork lead by 1-9 to 0-4 at half-time.

Kiely started the second half as she finished the first, with two pointed frees to push the Rebels further in front. Cork were denied a second goal when Ciara Butler saved brilliant from Dara Kiniry’s effort.

Abigail Ring, on as sub at half-time, increased Cork’s lead to make it 1-12 to 0-4. But Kerry weren’t going to go away easily and Síofra O’Shea goaled for them to bring the visitors back into contention.

Kiely and O’Shea exchanged scores as Cork led 1-13 to 1-5 with 15 minutes left. Three minutes later O’Shea got her, and Kerry’s, second goal to make it 1-15 to 2-5 as the visitors showed why they had been undefeated in the league to this point.

Shauna Kelly scored again for Cork with O’Shea replying for Kerry as time ran out and Cork took the points on offer.

1st Year #serioussupport program

Dear 1st Year teacher,

Firstly thank you so much for everything you do for the first year students entering your school, many of which are also members of the Ladies Gaelic Football Association. We have spoken to a number of teachers and they have highlighted the importance of role models for girls at this age as they transition into post primary schools and with this in mind we have teamed up with our sponsor and retail partner Lidl to offer a four-part series of free recorded webinar sessions for you to access for your school.

The purpose of these sessions is to increase retention rates in sport for this age cohort and to make the students aware that they do not only have to be players to remain involved in sport. We have four excellent sessions recorded from some of our top players and these are not just aimed at our sport but sport in general. Details of these sessions are listed below and the dates each one will be released.

Session 1 – Tuesday 1st March

Importance of Sport in Transition to Post Primary School and Pitfalls to Avoid for Dropout – Carla Rowe (Dublin)

Session 2 – Tuesday 8th March

Sport and Positive Wellbeing – Cora Staunton (Mayo)

Session 3 – Tuesday 15th March

School and Sport Balance: Getting the Best from Both – Emer Gallagher (Donegal)

Session 4 – Tuesday 22nd March

Avenues to get involved in sport within your school or club – Orlagh Farmer (Cork)

These will be inspiring talks as the players involved share their experiences on these topics to help the first year students in your schools. The sessions are 30 minutes approximately ensuring they will slot perfectly into a class timetable with 10-15 minutes remaining to discuss the questions posed at the end of each recording within the classroom setting.

The sessions will go live on the dates above through a private link on the LGFA YouTube accessible only to the teachers who have registered their interest using the link on attached poster or you can CLICK HERE. The recordings can then be played in the classroom through YouTube on screen for the group to watch together and are not available for individual students.

We look forward to hearing from you all and please feel free to share with other teachers of 1st year classes and we hope the talks will assist the students in your school.

Thank you in advance,

Regards

Lyn Savage

National Development Manager
