Clanmaurice took the game to an additional period with a dramatic late point.

Clanmaurice 0-10

Raharney 1-5

Raharney suffered heartbreak in extra-time after a hard fought contest against Kerry's Clanmaurice. 

Paudric Connaghton's team conceded a late point in normal time through the stick of Patrice Diggin, to force extra-time in Banagher. 

It will have been a major blow to their morale after putting in a very solid performance in horrendous conditions against their fierce rivals. 

A low scoring affair started with a bang when Amelia Shaw raised an early green flag before the Kerry side settled into a better rhythm. The two sides know one another very well and some of the most interesting play on the day came in the form of the chess match that was playing out on the sideline. 

A number of positional changes and nuances at play from both sides. 

On a day which white flags were at a premium, Raharney may rue a host of frees in scorable positions when playing against the breeze. Jackie Horgan proved deadly accurate for Clanmaurice with the placed ball.

 

Amelia Shaw top scored for Raharney with 1-2 of their 1-5 total. 

Ultimately they have lost nothing in defeat and it brings to end a remarkable run for the North Westmeath side. There'll be no rest for a host of these players as they return to inter-county action with Westmeath over the coming weeks.

Raharney: Amelia Shaw 1-2, Aoife Doherty 0-2, Maria Kelly 0-1.

Clanmaurice: Jackie Horgan 0-8, Patrice Diggin and Aoife Behan 0-1 each.
