Niamh Carr helps Kilmacud Crokes to another Leinster title


Kilmacud Crokes won the Leinster title for the fourth consecutive year, with Cranford native Niamh Carr starting and hitting a point in the win over Tinahely
Niamh Carr helped her Kilmacud Crokes side to another Leinster title with a convincing win over Tinahely in the final on Sunday.
The Cranford native, who previously lined out for Milford, kicked a point in the 5-13 to 1-8 win over the Wicklow side at Glenisk O’Connor Park in Tullamore as the Dublin side eased to the provincial four-in-a-row.
Niamh Cotter top scored with 1-6, while two goals each from Eabha Rutledge and Amy Conroy ensured the Stillorgan based side would go on to win the title once again.
The Crokes will face the Ulster champions in the All-Ireland semi-final, which will be contested between St Ergnat’s, Moneyglass and Errigal Ciaran, who defeated Termon in the quarter-finals.
The Ulster final takes place this Sunday, November 16, in Brewster Park.
