Seaview enjoyed the better possession in the first half but were unable to increase their advantage and went in still a goal up at half time. East End were more attack minded in the second half but found Seaview more than capable of keeping them at bay and despite a hectic final fifteen minutes, Seaview held on to book their place in the fina;

Wexford and District Womens and Schoolgirls League 01-02-2015
By Peter Doyle

Under Twelve Cup First Round
Shelburne and All Blacks Red both booked their place in the last sixteen when the two outstanding under twelve cup games were played last Saturday. Shelburne travelled to Tombrack and two goals from Katie Murphy saw them win 2-0 and progress to a second round meeting with premier side Kilmore United. All Blacks and St Cormacs had to go to extra time before the Mayglass side eventually went through 2-1. Holly Meehan was on target for the Boolavogue girls but goals from Katelyn Boggan and Zoe Butler saw All Blacks division three side progress

Under Twelve Premier Division
Only one point divide the top three in this very competitive division as leaders Courtown Hibs fell to their first defeat of the season at home to Kilmore United. In a thrilling game, the visitors ran out 2-1 winners to go joint top thanks to two goals from Shauna Kooloff while Alex Lynch was on target for Hibs. Ballindaggin joined Kilmore at the top of the table when they travelled to Cloughbawn and came away with all three points after a 2-0 win. Goals from Aoife Codd ad Orlaith Kehoe gave the Ballindaggin girls their fourth win of the season. Campile travelled to Curracloe and collected all three points in a 3-1 victory, a win that will most likely go a long way in confirming their place in the top division next season. Caoimhe Parker was on target for the home side but goals from Amy Ennis (2) and Sarah Foley gave the visitors their win

Under Twelve Division One
This division is also very competitive with one point dividing the top three with St Josephs edging to the top after their 1-0 win over St Leonards, inflicting the first defeat of the season on the Ballycullane side. Gorey Rangers overcame New Ross Town 4-0 with Siun murdiff and Rachel MacArthur both scoring two goals each to give Rangers their second win of the season. Seaview United pushed Wexford Youths to the bottom of the table when beating them 3-1 in Mersheen on Saturday. Molly Donohoe scored for Youths but goals from Ciaradh Connolly (2) and Ava White Keating gave the home side all three points

Under Twelve Division Two A
Moyne Rangers moved to the top of the division when they beat Bunclody 3-0 in the Showgrounds with the home sides ability to take their chances being the difference between the sides. Amy Shannon (2) and Chloe Brown were both on target for Rangers. Taghmon moved into a challenging position in the division when they travelled to Bridge Rovers and came away 2-0 winners.

Under Twelve Division Two B
North End moved closer to leaders All Blacks when overcoming second placed Adamstown 3-0 on Saturday. Katie Law (2) and Sarah Carroll were on target for the impressive home side who now play the leaders on Wednesday in what will be a crucial match in this division.

Under Twelve Division Three
New Ross Celtic recorded their fourth win of the season and look to be hot favourites to win this division when they travelled to leaders Seaview United and came away 5-0 winners. Aine McDonald (3) and Kate Lyng (2) were both on target for the unbeaten Celtic who are looking very impressive in their debut season. Courtown Hibs second team proved to be too good for St Leonards second team and ran out comfortable 10-0 winners with Amy Robertson (4), Abi Spencer (2), Amy Costello (2), Shannon Fleming and Ruby Annesley Doyle all on target

Under Sixteen Premier Division
Curracloe moved clear at the top of this division when recording a comfortable 9-0 win over a young New Ross Town side. Goals from Siobhan Doolan (4), Jessica Harding Kenny (2), Gemma Corrigan (2) and Derbhla Doyle gave the home side their fifth win of the season. Kilmore picked up their first win of the season when hosting Bunclody and running out 4-1 winners. Britney Conroy scored for the visitors but goals from Kira Bates Crosbie, Sophie Boxwell, Cora Miller and Megan Doyle gave the home side a vital three points in their battle against relegation

Under Sixteen Division One
St Leonards continue to lead the way in this division when they overcame All Blacks 4-0 and as well as being five points clear of second, they are a whopping eleven points clear of third. Second placed Gorey Rangers collected an easier than expected three points when they travelled to Moyne Rangers but the home side were unable to field a team and conceded the game to the visitors.

Under Sixteen Division Two
Leaders Seaview United recorded their eight win of the season and moved eight points clear in the division when overcoming St Josephs 4-2. Sasha Walsh, Molly Power and Kayleigh Shannon (2) were all on target for the winners. Campile United and Gorey Rangers seconds played out a 1-1 draw with Chloe Banville on target for United while Eabha Cahill scored for Rangers. Cloughbawn seconds and Arklow Town also had to settle for a point each as they played out a 2-2 draw with Chelsey Somers and Niamh Higgins scoring for Cloughbawn while Doireann Kavanagh and Lauren Higgins on target for Town. Wexford Celtic hit form when recording a 3-0 win over Tombrack United with goals from Eve Hession, Ruth Hendrick and Aoife Kelly

Leinster Under Eighteen Cup Semi Final
Cloughbawn are through to the Leinster Under Eighteen final after overcoming Dundrum FC in difficult conditions on Saturday but in a game that the home team dominated and were well deserved winners. Playing with the wind in the first half, goals from Eimear Mernagh and Amy Banville had Cloughbawn 2-0 ahead and a solid second half performance saw them hold that lead as they restricted Dundrum to a few long range efforts. They now await the winners of Shelbourne or St Josephs Girls, who play next week, with the final looking likely to be at a Wexford venue in mid March.

Leinster Under Fourteen Cup Semi Final
Cloughbawn Under Fourteen side travelled to AUL on Sunday to take on MGL hotshots Shelbourne AFC but found the home side too hot to handle and found themselves 6-0 down at half time. The visitors second half performance was much stronger and goals from Anais Curran and Emma Clarke saw them get back into the game before eventually bowing out 9-2.

Womens Premier Division
Seaview United          1          East End United         3
East End kept alive their chances of catching leaders Ferns when a late burst of goals saw them take a vital three points. The game was scoreless with twenty minutes remaining with both sides creating several chances but defences dominating until Jenny Brennan eventually broke the deadlock and gave the Kilkenny side the lead. She doubled that advantage shortly after before Fiona Rowe pulled one back but Jenny completed her hat trick near the end to secure the three points

Killenagh Wanderers  1          North End United       4
North End travelled to Killenagh and came away with a vital three points and have left the home side with genuine relegation worries in what is proving to be a dogged battle to avoid the drop. The game was more even than the scoreline suggests but it was North End who were sharper in front of goal with Diane Leniston, Natalie Walsh, Sara Byrne and Shauna Carley all finding the net while Leanne Naughter scored for Killenagh

Womens Division One
Coolgreaney Celtic     9          St Josephs       0
Coolgreaney Celtic wrapped up the first league title of the season when getting the three points required to clinch the title when knocking nine past bottom club St Josephs. Stephanie Hallahan and Deirdre Healy scored a hat trick each with Karen Morris (2) and Sinead Byrne also finding the net. League Vice Chairman Barry Dempsey was on hand to present the trophy to the victorious squad.

Lisa Marie Doyle put the home side ahead but goals from Grainne Ryan and Sandra Murphy gave Town all three points

Womens Division Two A
St Leonards     1          Bree United    0
These two sides have produced some thrilling games in the past two seasons and this game was no exception with once again very little separating the sides. In a closely fought encounter, an Adrienne Parker penalty was the difference between the sides and St Leonards remain top of the table as we approach the title run in

All Blacks       5          Corach Ramblers         1
The home side kept their title ambitions alive with this 5-1 win over Corach Ramblers and if they win their games in hand they will join St Leonards at the top of the table.

Cloughbawn B            3          Bunclody AFC           1

Womens Division Two B
Moyne Rangers           2          Tombrack United        1

Rosslare Strand           1          Seaview United B       0
