Milford make it four on the bounce

Milford (Cork) 5-18 Newmarket-on-Fergus (Clare) 1-9: Milford maintained their firm grip on the Munster Senior Camogie Club Championship with a comprehensive victory over Newmarket-on-Fergus to complete a four-in-a-row of titles in Ballyagran, Limerick on Sunday.

With the fixture being postponed by 24 hours due to the inclement weather, the holders wasted no more time in putting the newcomers to the sword as Maria O’Neill’s brace of goals pushed her side into a third minute lead that they would never look like relinquishing.

The eight--time Clare champions did hit back with a goal through Ann Marie Hayes three minutes later but it was only a brief reprieve as Emer Watson added 1-6 to ensure that the Cork champions held a 3-10 to 1-5 advantage by the break, despite playing against the wind.
