Senior camogie side edged out by Tipp

Mon, 15th July 2019

Dublin were edged out by Tipp by five points (1-11 to 0-9) in a hard-fought encounter at The Ragg on Saturday afternoon.

In a game where every score was hard-earned, Niamh Treacy put Tipp in front after 30 seconds but then Dublin pushed 0-2 to 0-1 ahead after ten minutes of action.

It could have been much more, after Caoimhe Burke pulled down Sinéad Wylde for a penalty, but the Dublin attacker – who was in superb form from frees throughout most of the game – pulled her effort wide of the post.

Tipperary edged in front and two monster scores from Mary Ryan from midfield helped them to lead by 0-7 to 0-4 at half-time.

They struck another point before the crucial score after 40 minutes set them on a winning path.

Grace O’Brien turned over a short Dublin puckout and the ball was worked to Eilish McDonald for the only goal of the game.

Late points from Laura Twomey and Gráinne Quinn kept Dublin it but Cáit Devane finished with 0-5 and McDonald with 1-2 for Tipp, while Caoimhe Burke made a superb late save to deny Wylde and preserve a 1-11 to 0-9 win for the Premier women.

Full Time Score: Tipperary 1.11 v Dublin 0.09 The final game of Dublin’s Senior Team will be against Clare on Saturday next July 20th, time and venue TBC.
