Hurling
Our Minor Hurlers had a pulsating 1 point victory over Kilmcud Crokes in their championship semi-final on Sunday morning in Silver Park. The game was nip and tuck throughout, but Lucan's never say die attitude and impact from the bench saw them through and they now gear up for a county final against St Jude's on Sunday 30th November.
Ladies Football
The Minor A Ladies football team secured their second trophy of the year winning the Division 1 Shield Final v St. Maurs, after securing the Division 1 league title earlier in the year.
A slow start saw the girls conceding 2 early goals, but calm heads prevailed and with solid kicking from goalkeeper Caoilfhionn Ni Bhriain, the girls scored some lovely points to bring the match back to a one-point game by half time, with Eva Collis, Reka Kiss Kallo, Rachel Johnson and Juliette Harford all putting points on the board. Unfortunately, Reka suffered a calf injury at half time and was replaced by Grian Galligan Byrne.
A nip and tuck second half saw us trading points with St. Maurs, and the lead changed hands several times, with Lucan hitting the woodwork on more than one occasion (a trademark of this team!). Sadhbh Lynch and Laura O'Reilly ran themselves into the ground from midfield in the second half, with the back 6, including Anya Dunne, Niamh Lamon, Niamh O'Brien and Siena Harford turning over the ball on several occasions. Lucan trailed by one point heading for the final whistle, but a bold move saw corner back Zarah Casey Lancaster moved up to the full forward line, with great results as she blazed over the leveller with seconds to go.
With a result required on the day, extra time was on the cards. This team have trained tirelessly all year, with many, many hard running sessions to gain what Cathal Lynch calls 'Money in the bank'. Well, he was on the money with that, as Lucan Sarsfields better fitness was massively evident in extra time. Juliette Harford scored the first point after 2 minutes and 3 minutes later Cara Coffey hit the back of the net in a well worked goal. From then on, there was only one winner as the opposition faded and the Lucan girl's fitness took them all the way to the end of extra time. Further points from Sadhbh Lynch, Zarah Casey Lancaster, Eva Collis and Rachel Johnson saw them win by 8 points, having outscored St. Maurs by 1-9 to 0-1 in extra time.
The Shield was presented by the referee Ronald Malone to the Lucan captain Rachel Johnson to cap a great year for the Minor A Ladies football team.
