BALLYMACARBRY LADIES REMAIN the undisputed champions in Waterford after capturing their 40th senior county crown in-a-row on Sunday.
The longtime holders of the title defeated Comeragh Rangers by 4-5 to 0-7, with former Waterford star Michelle Ryan hitting 2-2 for the winners. The other two Ballymacarbry goals came from Bríd McMaugh and Karen McGrath.
While the full-time scoreline suggests a one-sided affair, the opening half was tightly contested with Keeley Corbett Barry helping Comeragh Rnagers into a 0-4 to 1-0 lead at half-time.
But the experienced Ballymacarbry side assumed control on the restart after Mairéad Wall hit the equaliser.
The goals followed as Ballmacarbry stormed to victory and an incredible 40-in-a-row.
Meanwhile, All-Ireland-winning stars Vikki Wall and Emma Duggan were part of the St Peter’s Dunboyne side that defended their senior championship title in Meath.
