NY GAA: Rainy season in Gaelic Park

Fermanagh 0-2 Kerry/Donegal 5-08

The first game of this rainy day began without much of a bang.  Six minutes in Kerry/Donegal was on the board with a point, put over handily by Louise McMahon.  

That effort was quickly canceled out by a Marie Dunlevey score. Kerry/Donegal continued the pressure, creating a goal chance for Denise Dunnion, which was put wide and a free, which was put wide by Sue Bennett.  

It wasn’t until six minutes later that another point was added to the tally, this time by Denise Dunnion for KD, again only to be canceled by Nicola King.  

21 minutes in, KD went into cruise control, scoring two goals off the boots of Denise Dunnion and Allie Kelly in quick succession.  

Then, off a long free by Sue Bennett, an unlucky bounce off the full back’s hands and the ball was in the back of the net for a third goal in five minutes.  

Fermanagh kept trying to retaliate, but their efforts were thwarted repeatedly.  KD finished the half with another two scores from Allie Kelly and Michelle McVann to end the half ahead 3-04 to 0-2.

The second half began much the same as the first ended, with KD taking control again and not relenting.  

KD opened the scoring with a pair of points in the 11th and 12th minutes of the half by Denise Dunnion and Louise McMahon.  

They managed to keep constant pressure, giving Sue Bennett the chance to score another goal, making the final result even more predictable.  

Kerry/Donegal’s dominance was emphasized with a finish by Allie Kelly, once more shaking the net with a goal.  

Benny Touhy put another point over the bar, followed by a Sue Bennett free finishing the game 5-08 to 0-2 in favor of Kerry/Donegal.
