Ladies Retain League Title

Miltown 2-8 Cooraclare 2-2

Miltown led at half time at Hennessy Park, after playing with the aid of a very strong wind. Cooraclare had scored a goal against the run of play late in the half to leave 8 points between the sides 1-8 to 1-0. Niamh Coyne had scored Miltown's goal but only wayward shooting and good goalkeeping had kept Cooraclre in the game. The question at half time was would 8 points be enough.
Well it was expert defending and a Fiona Lafferty goal were enough for Miltown to be crowned Senior League Champions 2007.
It was a fitting end to what is probably DOB's last game in charge of the Ladies. After 5 years he is to step down, during this period he has won 1 Senior Championship , 2 Senior Leagues, 3 Minor Championships and a Junior championship.
After the game Aoife Healy accepted the cup from Ladies
