Aodh Ruadh win Intermediate title

Intermediate Camogie Championship Final
21 September 1990
Aodh Ruadh 6-3
Four Masters 3-2
Father Tierney Park

Aodh Ruadh captured their first ever Intermediate camogie county title on Friday evening last when they overcame a very strong and determined Four Masters side in Father Tierney Park — the first time ever a camogie final was played there.

Despite the galeforce wind, the two teams served up a great contest for the spectators with the Ballyshannon side building up a lead in the first half playing with the wind and then having to withstand a spirited Four Masters side in the second half.

Frances Kane opened the scoring with a point for Aodh Ruadh after four minutes and added a second in the 7th minute. A minute later Four Masters hit back with a goal from Annette McCauley, but then arrived an Aodh Ruadh goal barrage between the 9th and 22nd minute which proved vital in the end. The goals came from Andrea Barrett (4), Grainne Buggy and Caroline Sheerin. Four Masters had the last score of the half, a goal in the 24th minute from Annette McCauleu.

Half-time score. Four Masters 2-0. Aodh Ruadh 6-2.

The second half saw Aodh Ruadh adding only one point to their tally, but Four Masters were limited to a goal by Annette McCauley and two points from Marie Brennan.

In a good team effort for Aodh Ruadh, Marita Maguire and Rosemary McKeaney were sound in defence; Sinead Donagher and Frances Kane at midfield while up front Nollaig McNelis and Andrea Barrett were impressive.

For Four Masters Annette McCauley, Siobhan Kelly, Marie Brennan and Christina Ward were best.
