As the countdown continues to the Junior Ladies final on
Saturday in Abbotstown we take a look back on Castletown Liam Mellows season to
date.
Castletown Liam Mellows in their 2nd year of
rounders are following in the steps of Glynn/Barntown, Adamstown regards
success from Wexford clubs after qualifying for their first ever All-Ireland
final in rounders the Junior Ladies competition.
Castletown have been very impressive so far and we take a
look back on their route to the final. First up for the Wexford side was
against Myshall of Carlow and got their campaign off to the perfect start
winning 10-2 in a closely fought contest.
Next up was a Wexford derby against Glynn/Barntown and they
recorded their second win of the group stages with a very impressive display
winning 20-7 to keep their unbeaten record intact.
In their third match they came unstuck and lost to St
Kierans of Limerick after fighting hard but came out on the wrong end of the
result. Then their final game of the group stages were against Emo of Laois and
this would turn out to be a top of the table clash and they put their defeat
behind them and just overcame Emo winning 12-10 to top the table and set up a
semi-final clash with Dublin Mets.
Last Saturday in Clonguish Castletown Liam Mellows produced
a stunning comeback in the fifth innings they were on the verge of exiting the
championship as Mets were winning 14-9 but the Wexford side had other ideas and
claimed the win to set up a clash with Carrickmacross Emmets which takes place
at 1pm on Saturday.
