Roinn 3 Camogie Shield 

Clough NS 9-2 

Killadooley NS 2-1 

CLOUGH NS captured the Division 3 Camogie Shield title after producing a dominant display to defeat Killadooley NS by 15 points.

From the opening whistle, Clough looked sharp and energetic, with Abi Boyhan leading the charge in outstanding fashion. Boyhan was the standout performer on the day, finishing with a remarkable personal tally of 5-1 as she inspired her side to victory.

Clough made the perfect start when Boyhan struck for a goal inside the opening minute of the contest. Killadooley responded through a fine point from Jessica Bergin, but Clough quickly took control and never looked back.

Boyhan completed a first-half hat-trick and also added a point, continuing to cause huge problems for the Killadooley defence. Further goals from Maebh O’Shea, Mila Maher and Ava Coffey helped Clough build a commanding advantage, leaving them 7-1 to 0-1 ahead at the interval.

The second half followed a similar pattern, with Clough maintaining their intensity and attacking threat throughout. Boyhan added her fifth goal shortly after the restart to further strengthen her side’s grip on the game.

To their credit, Killadooley continued battling and created a number of opportunities, but Clough goalkeeper Maeve Baldwin was in excellent form and repeatedly denied them with a series of impressive saves.

Jessica Bergin eventually got reward for Killadooley’s persistence when she fired home a superb goal, before adding another impressive long-range strike later on.

However, Clough never allowed any real momentum to build against them, with Maebh O’Shea netting her second goal to put the result beyond doubt. O’Shea also had the final score of the game with a point as Clough sealed an emphatic and well-deserved victory.
