Senior Ladies Championship Semi-Final vs. St. Marys, Saturday September 5th Our seniors bowed out of the championship at the semifinals stage where they lost out to St Mary’s by 4 points.

This game was played in The Downs under Covid restrictions with a small crowd and slippy underfoot conditions. While Garrycastle had the upper hand for most of the 1st half a Downs goal just after the water break had them lagging by just one point at the break. Garrycastle started the second half lively and 2 goals put us well ahead. However until the final whistle went it was a pressure game all the way for Garrycastle but won out in the end 2-10 to 1-7. 2019 Senior Championship vs The Downs, May 19th Garrycastle 3-07, The Downs 2-05 Our senior girls played The Downs in the first round of the championship in Garrycastle in perfect conditions.

Senior League Div. 3 : March 9th Mullingar Shamrocks 0-07, Garrycastle 4-08 The ladies season kicked off on Sunday with our Division 3 side playing an away game against Mullingar. Garrycastle faced a stiff breeze in the first half so needed to be firm in defence and this they did with Megan Mc Cormack controlling fullback and Rebecca Norris pulling off some fine saves when called on. Orla Breathnach made a welcome return and was a great support to our young defenders who stood firm and held Mullingar to 0-5 points in the first half. With Lisa Fitzpatrick and Katie McDonnell working extremely hard and pushing forward Ciara McManus found the net to leave us just 2 points down at the break. With the wind to our backs Garrycastle put on the pressure early in the second half and AnneMarie Donoghue made no mistake finding the net to edge us ahead.

Garrycastle had a tough task ahead as they faced Milltown, the title holders and the All-Ireland club champions. From the throw in the Garrycastle girls made their mark and pressed on the Milltown goals from early on and notched up two early points and fine attacking work lead to a goal in the opening quarter. Shortly afterwards Garrycastle were reduced to 14 following a sin bin but they didn’t allow Milltown to capitalize during this period and held their own to go in a goal up at the break. The opening minutes of the second half saw Milltown emerge with more vigour and they eventually managed to raise the green flag. Garrycastle didn’t panic and responded with three quick points to keep them ahead. In the dying minutes Milltown were awarded a penalty which they duly converted to leave the minimum between the sides however time ran out and Garrycastle have claimed a place in the county final where they will meet St Lomans on Saturday 1st October. Overall Garrycastle can be happy with their performance; they fought hard all through and never gave up, the defence were solid particularly in the last quarter.

Garrycastle were reduced to fourteen after a yellow card and were further reduced to thirteen with a second yellow dished out. The remaining thirteen dug deep during this period and worked very hard.
