Our Minor ladies reignited their league campaign at a wet and windy Ahiohill on Wednesday evening with a comprehensive win over Keelnameela.

Having not played since their victory over Bandon way back on May , the girls in blue picked up where they left off in what proved to be a comfortable win against a spirited Keelnameela side.

Bantry started the game at lightning pace and had 1.1 on the scoreboard inside two minutes courtesy of a Meadhbh Sammon point and a well taken goal from the lively Lainey Barry.Bantry tagged on two more points from the impressive Holly Sheehan before Keelnameela registered their first point after ten minutes.

Keelnameela goaled after thirteen minutes which seemed to spur the Bantry girls on.The half back line of Daisy o Donoghue,Cliodhna o Shea and Faye Hurley started to dominate and with Molly o Sullivan and Meadhbh Sammon at midfield supplying great ball into the forwards,Bantry were now playing some great football.

Points from Aoidhe Murphy,Lauren o Connell,Katie Russell and Lainey Barry saw the girls in blue leading on a scoreline of 1.10 to 1.2 at half time.

The second half again saw Bantry well in charge of this game.

The full back line of Ciara Barry,Kelly Daly and Cathy Kennan were completely in control and this limited the Keelnameela forwards to just two points in the second half.

The Bantry forwards continued to thrive from early ball and a cracking Meadhbh Sammon goal followed up with further points from Holly Sheehan,Katie Russell,Daisy o Donoghue and Ciara Kelly saw Bantry run out comfortable winners on this occasion on a scoreline of 2.15 to 1.4.

Bantry will no doubt face stiffer tests ahead but this group of girls are playing some lovely football so we look forward to their next outing against Ibane ladies.

Well done to all the girls.
