Donaghmoyne reach final

MONAGHAN champions Donaghmoyne ended Ballyboden St Enda’s three-in-a-row dream yesterday when they defeated the Dublin side in the VHI Healthcare All-Ireland Ladies SFC club semi-final, (0-12 to 0-7).

Ballyboden, who had home advantage, were gunning for a third successive All-Ireland SFC club title this year but there will be no hat-trick after Donaghmoyne’s powerful display in this semi-final.

It was also a case of sweet revenge for Donaghmoyne as they had lost to Ballyboden in last year’s All-Ireland decider. They will now meet Carnacon in this year’s final after the Mayo champions accounted for Cork’s Donoughmore in the other semi-final, 2-11 to 0-8.
