Moylagh’s late goals ensure win against Walterstown Ladies
Meath Ladies Jnr A Championship Rd 1
Moylagh V Walterstown
Wed 9th May
The rain cleared on Wednesday evening as the Walterstown ladies made the trip to Moylagh for the first round of the championship. It was a young Walterstown team taking to the field and a team bereft of some of the regular starters, in fact only six or seven from the 2016 corresponding encounter with Moylagh started the game for Walterstown.
Moylagh had the slightly better start notching up the first score, but neither side really stretched ahead as the defences for both side were on top. However 13 minutes in the first goal of the game was registered, from the boot of Mollie Brown. Moylagh responded with two points of their own, before points from Mollie Brown and Edel McGrane before half time saw Walterstown head into the break with a slender 1 point advantage.
Half Time Moylagh 0:05 Walterstown 1:03
Moylagh came out flying in the second half, registering four consecutive points, in the opening four minutes. Moylagh were starting to get a hold of the game, but a surging run from Walterstown Kate McCarthy , aided by Edel McGrane saw Kate find the net again for Walterstown, halfway through the second half. Heading into the final few minutes Moylagh had a two point cushion. After a brief downpour of hail stones, Moylagh struck with their first goal on 27minutes, followed two minutes later by their second which secured the win for them.
Final Score Moylagh 2:13 Walterstown 2:05

Front Trio too strong for Blackhall Gaels
Walterstown vs Black Hall Gaels A League Div 2
May 5th 2018 in Kilcloon
Walterstown travelled to sunny Kilcloon on Saturday evening, to take on Black Hall Gaels in this 7th Round Div 2 encounter. Walterstown with only one win in the league so far were hoping for a good performance here and the much needed 2 League points. This was indeed an entertaining, high scoring game. Walterstown got off to a good start and when Robbie McDonnell put Cormac Madden through for a well taken goal after 7 minutes, it put them into a 3point lead. By half-time the Blacks were 1-9 to 0-6 ahead.
In the second half though Walterstown had the first point from Cormac Madden after 3 minutes, Black Hall scored a goal almost immediately to put 4 points between the teams. Conor O Sullivan caught the resultant kick out and found Robbie McDonnell who finished neatly to the net. Walterstown were now 7 points ahead again. However in what was a dramatic second half, Black Hall scored another goal 10 minutes into the half to narrow the gap to 2-11 to 2-07. Then in the 20th minute, Black Hall scored a goal direct from a free kick to put only 2 points between the teams.
Walterstown however were undaunted and thanks to some good shooting from play scored 5 more points, before Referee Hugo Whoriskey blew the final whistle, eventually winning on a score line of 2-19 to 3-09
Walterstown’s full forward line of Robbie McDonnell, Brian O Connell and Cormac Madden were in top form and contributed 2-14 of Walterstown’s winning tally between them. Manager Eoin Carroll must be pleased with how the whole team played and will now be looking forward to the next round.
