Shanahoe Return To Ladies Senior Ranks With Late Fight Back

They were three points down entering the last ten minutes.

Shanahoe will return to the senior ladies ranks in Laois.

They claimed the Intermediate title with a hard fought one point victory over Park/Ratheniska last night, 1-9 to 1-8.

A first half goal from Aoife Finlay and five frees from the boot of Mary Griffen, including with the last kick of the contest, led Shanahoe back from a three point deficit in the closing stages.

Park/Ratheniksa will rue two late yellow cards, which gave their opposition the momentum for the comeback.

Earlier this week, Graiguecullen took home the Junior title, defeating Ballyfin by 7 points, 2-13 to 2-6.

Graiguecullen were led by 1-6 from corner forward Kelly O'Neill against a gallant Ballyfin side who had goals from Rachel Walsh and Edel Finn and five points from Chloe Scanlon that ultimately wasn't enough to keep pace with the winners.
