Naas 2 v Ballymore – Eustace – Minor Final – Hawkfield

Date: 9^th December 2023

ET: Naas 2 (5 – 15) BME (5 – 10)

Commiserations to the Minor girls, who played the final, in tough, wet and windy conditions.  Both teams excelled on the day and the full-time score brought the teams level with Naas scoring a point from a free with the last kick of the game.  

An extra 20 minutes of play gave Naas the edge and they brought it over the line with 5 points to spare in extra time.  A nail-biting game to the end, played by all with such grit and determination made it anyone’s game until the final whistle.

This brings the year to a close for 2023.  Thanks to the girls from Naas for a great match.

Thanks to ours sponsors ballymore., the parents and supporters during the year, we greatly appreciate it.

Ár gcomhbhrón leis na gcailíní mionúr, d’imir siad an chraobh san aimsir fhliuch, ghaofar agus chrua a bhí ann ar an Satharn. Rinne an dá fhoireann a seacht n-dícheall ar an lá agus bhí siad ar chomhscór nuair a shéadadh an fheadóg dheiridh, le Nás ag cur an liathróid thar an trasnán ó chic píonóis sa nóiméad deireanach.

Bhí orthu 20 nóiméad breise a imirt agus bhí sin céard a bhí ag teastáil ó Nás, ag críochnú an cluiche le 5 chúilín sa bhreis san am breise. Cluiche lán teannais a bhí ann agus ní raibh an buaiteoir soiléir go dtí an fheadóg dheiridh.

Táimid tagtha le deireadh don tréimhse peile 2023. Ár mbuíochas le Nás na Ríogh don chluiche dhian.

Go raibh maith agaibh d’ár urraitheoir ballymore., na tuistí agus na tacaithe ar fad i rith na bliana, táimid an-bhuíoch asaibh.

Freisin, buíochas ó chroí d’Eileen, Beth agus Emer agus na cailíní do na gaiscí a bhaineadar amach an bhliain seo. Ar deireadh, go raibh míle maith agaibh do Noel & Julie Winder, The Ballymore Inn agus Vinnie & Sian Keary, dá ról i gcéiliúradh na cailíní tar éis an cluiche.
