Malone goal crucial as Flannan’s edge home

St Flannan’s, Ennis 1-4 Coachford College 0-3: Munster Colleges Senior A camogie final: St Flannan’s College secured a second consecutive Munster Colleges Senior A camogie title after a bruising encounter on Saturday in Cloughduv.

That wind advantage was so significant that only one score was recorded against it; the crucial goal from Aoibheann Malone with five minutes of normal time remaining.

It said a lot about the Clare girls’ fitness to sustain a period of attacking play before getting their reward when Malone grabbed Zoe McInerney’s 45 and goaled from close range. That was the killer blow for Coachford who otherwise had the best of the goal chances in Cloughduv.
