Kilkerrin-Clonberne (Galway) 2-08 St Ergnat’s, Moneyglass (Antrim) 1-05<\/p>\n

Chloe Miskell and Lynsey Noone grabbed goals in either half at Croke Park on Saturday evening as Kilkerrin-Clonberne defeated St Ergnat’s, Moneyglass to earn their fifth AIB All-Ireland Senior Club Championship crown in succession.<\/p>\n

With 14 of last year’s starting line-up returning from the final win over Kilmacud Crokes, Kilkerrin-Clonberne initially found it difficult to break down a stern Moneyglass defence.<\/p>\n

Olivia Divilly and Eva Noone eventually kicked a point apiece from frees in the ninth and 10th minutes respectively, before ex-Antrim stalwart Cathy Carey split the posts in fine style at the opposite end.<\/p>\n

Team captain Louise Ward fired over an excellent point from play for the title holders after a later attack, but it wasn\u2019t until the closing 10 minutes of the opening period that the game truly sparked into life.<\/p>\n

While Moneyglass reduced the gap to a single point through Leah Stewart, Kilkerrin-Clonberne immediately responded with a clinically-taken goal from Chloe Miskell – following excellent approach work from Hannah Noone and Nicola Ward.<\/p>\n

\nChloe Miskell contributed a goal in the 22nd minute<\/p>\n

This looked like being a significant blow for St Ergnat\u2019s, but they came roaring back into contention when Stewart palmed to the net in the 24th minute after a Carey shot for a point had hit the post.<\/p>\n

Yet a second free from Olivia Divilly ensured Kilkerrin-Clonberne were two points in front (1-04 to 1-02) at the break and the westerners increased their advantage on the restart with back-to-back scores from midfielder Aisling Madden and Eva Noone.<\/p>\n

Miskell added to her earlier goal with a point from close-range as Kilkerrin-Clonberne slowly asserted their authority on this showpiece affair.<\/p>\n

First-time finalists St Ergnat\u2019s had come into this game on the back of an outstanding semi-final victory against Kilmacud Crokes, but they found themselves eight points in arrears when Niamh Divilly fed Lynsey Noone inside for a 44th minute goal.<\/p>\n

Another score courtesy of Noone\u2019s sister Eva had Kilkerrin-Clonberne nine points ahead moving into the final-quarter, though St Ergnat\u2019s finally interrupted this devastating blitz from their opponents with a fine effort by Maria O\u2019Neill.<\/p>\n

Stewart and substitute Bronagh Devlin also found the range for the industrious Ulster side, but Kilkerrin-Clonberne subsequently dominated possession in the closing moments to retain the Dolores Tyrrell Memorial Cup.<\/p>\n
