Combined Edenderry schools edge out Ferbane students

Allianz Cumann na mBunscol 2026 Camogie F Final

St Mary’s and St Patrick’s NS Edenderry 1-2

St Cynoc's NS, Ferbane 1-1

(Goals worth 2 points)

The early lunch time clash saw the meeting of St Cynocs of Ferbane and a combined outfit of St Mary’s and St Patrick’s from Edenderry in the Camoige F Final at Glenisk O’Connor Park on Thursday.

This was a fascinating clash from two very well drilled and organized teams and it was clear scores were going to be at a premium from the off here.

It was the seventh minute before the opening score came through an Emilija Daugelaite free. The next score wasn’t to come for another twelve minutes, this time at the opposite end of the park from a Ava Clancy free leaving the sides all square at the mid way stage.

The games first goal came five minutes into the second half of this one and it came from the Edenderry ladies when Grace Dowdall got on the attack before kicking the sliother into the back of the net.

Five minutes later we were all square again when Ava Clancy broke through and played a lovely pass across the Edenderry goals and the ball was volleyed well into the back of the net from the stick of Lara Cullinan with two minutes remaining.

The games crucial score came as the clock ticked into second half injury time when the Edenderry ladies won a forty-five which was superbly converted from Aoife Forde to see her side crowned champions for 2026.
