MOUNTBELLEW-MOYLOUGH’S hopes of a league and championship double came unstuck in Loughrea on Saturday as three third-quarter goals gave Eyrecourt the Duane’s Daybreak & Hardware Intermediate Camogie title.
When Catherine Finnerty found the net in the first minute of the second half, Vinny Griffin’s team were back in the mix but their south-east Galway opponents restored the balance as Cora McEvoy and Laura Loughnane added to first half majors for Paula Kenny and Molly Dunne. With the half-time score 2-6 to 0-8 in an entertaining tie, those two quality goals had given Eyrecourt an advantage they held to the finish.
The contest started at a rapid pace with both sides coming close to majors.
