St Nathy’s lose close All-Ireland football semi-final



There was disappointment for St Nathy’s of Sligo in Sunday’s women’s All-Ireland intermediate football semi-final in Belfast as they lose an closely-fought contest to the Antrim and Ulster champions St Paul’s by a single point, on a final scoreline of 1-7 to 1-6.

Listen back to how Ocean FM Sport’s commentary team of Cathal Mullaney and Kathleen Kane described a dramatic second-half:

The sides were level at half-time but Kathleen Coleman’s early second-half goal gave Nathy’s real impetus.

However, St Paul’s always stayed in the hunt and they finished marginally the stronger with a string of points securing them a one-point win.

This was the postmatch assessment of St Nathy’s manager George Leetch, who spoke with Ocean FM Sport’s Cathal Mullaney:

Women’s All-Ireland intermediate football semi-finals
St Paul’s (Antrim) 1-7 St Nathy’s (Sligo) 1-6
Naomh Ciarán (Offaly) 3-15 Inch Rovers (Cork) 1-11 AET.
