FBD Insurance Senior Championship - Group 1 - Round 1

Clonoulty Rossmore 2-11

Thurles Sarsfileds 1-19

Saturday evening saw the much-anticipated clash of 2023 county finalists Clonoulty Rossmore and Thurles Sarsfields.

Clonoulty had home advantage and eager to get their 2024 campaign off to a good start as they set their sights once again on the Bernie O'Dowd cup and that they did with the opening score coming from the West women.

Caoimhe Stakelum responded one minute later with a point to settle the Sarsfields team wholooked nervous inthe opening stages.

Clonoulty looked to have the better of the Sarsfields back line in the first 15 minutes with reliable Eimear Bourke, Cait Devane, and Cora Hennessy all looking dangerous in attack.

Sarsfields looked once again to county minor Caoimhe Stakelum as she pointed the ball from play to put Sarsfields in the lead halfway through thefirst half, from here the Sars pushed on winning a penalty which could have increased their lead further but Caoimhe Stakelum selectedto pointthe opportunity.

However, soon after Tipperary and Thurles captain Karen Kennedy rattled the Clonoulty net as Thurles secured a comfortable lead of 1-11 to 0-5 at half time.

Sarah Fryday, Casey Hennessy, and Courtney Ryan came out in the second half to right the wrongs of the first half but it was not made easy with a fine display from Lucy Purcell at centreforward as she scored four long-range points from play. Fryday took her opportunities when they arose and scored a great goal in the second half to bring Clonoulty back into the game.

Sarsfieldsremained calm and collected and continued to keep the scoreboard ticking over with points from Kennedy, Stakelum, Cummins and Purcell. Clonoulty’s Cait Devane put the ball past Sarsfields keeper one final time with 28 minutes on the clock but Sarsfields had created enough of a lead to come away with a win.

Clonoulty will look forward to their bye weekend to regroup while Sarsfields will face Shannon Rovers at home on Saturday the 31st of August in the second round of group one.
