South U12B Football Final Replay
Clerihan met Kilsheelan in the long awaited replay of the U12 South Football championship Final. After a cracker of a game in Clogheen a few weeks ago when the sides could not be separated after extra time, expectations were high that there would be a similar game this time out. However the day belonged to the Kilsheelan lads who finished the game strongest and ran out four point winners. All credit to the Clerihan lads who matched their opponents throughout the game. The lead changed hands on a number of occasions and Clerihan were in the game up to the final whistle. Congratulations to Kilsheelan on winning and those connected to the team. Well done to Clerihan and thanks for entertaining those who followed them with a great brand of football. Well done and thanks to all connected to the team. Thanks to everyone associated with the team.

Everyone in Clerihan GAA Club is proud of your achievement. Roll on the hurling championship.

The second half was a different ball game altogether after scoring an opening goal Commercials were to see their lead drift away from them when Clerihan upped their game with a fantastic performance in midfield from Kate Corcoran and Emma Hennessy and full backs Lisa Walsh, Mia Cooney, and Fiona McGrath who were impenetrable and a super performance from Orla O”Donnell in goal. Centre backs Catriona Rice scored one goal and two points and gave an outstanding performance,  Mairead Browne and Romy Mc Carthy were superb. The forwards line out as follows Hannah Phelan scored one goal , Chloe Lawerence, Chelsea O Mahony, Ashling Morrissey,  Ashling Gillman and Danielle Foley and super subs Kayleigh Flannery who scored two points and Caoimhe Mulcahy who scored a goal and Megan O Donnell.
