Whelton goal sets Clon girls on way to first All-Ireland

SACRED HEART COLLEGE, Clonakilty survived a tremendous rally by St Joseph’s to take the Pat the Baker All-Ireland Post Primary Schoolgirls ‘B’ SFC title at Cashel yesterday.

With both schools bidding to win their first national title at this level, it made for a marvellous match.

Amy Burke, Claire O’Mahony and Aine O’Leary were outstanding in a very busy Clon defence; the powerful running of Claire O’Leary at midfield ensured the West Cork attack got a good supply of ball, while Sharon Whelton and Marie O’Donovan were a constant threat up front.
