Armagh ladies lose to Kerry in Division One Final
Armagh's hopes of back-to-back Ladies National Football League Division One titles were dashed in a 4-14 to 0-11 defeat by All-Ireland champions Kerry in the decider at Croke lost out to Armagh in last year's top-tier decider – a few months before their All-Ireland triumph – the Kingdom emphatically reclaimed a trophy they had most recently won in Carmody hit Kerry's opening goal in the seventh minute with a shot that looped over Armagh keeper Anna corner-forward Danielle O'Leary notched Kerry's second major six minutes later after a Siofra O'Shea goal attempt had come back off the Kerry's lightning start, a Lauren McConville point finally got Armagh off the mark which was quickly added to by a brace of Eve Lavery points for the Ulster champions. As Niamh Henderson and Niamh Reel kicked further Armagh points, the Orchard County women seemed to be finally getting a foothold into the contest but they were then rocked by another Kerry goal just half-time as Jadyn Lucey 3-4 to 0-5 at the break, an Armagh comeback looked a big McCoy and Niamh Henderson went close to rattling the Kingdom net after the resumption but any small hopes they had of getting back into the contest were ended when a speculative shot by Lucey ended up in the Armagh net on 37 kept the scoreboard ticking over with four points without reply courtesy of Carmody, O'Shea, Niamh Ni Chonchuir and O' Armagh's credit, they did persevere with their challenge during the closing quarter of the game with substitutes Caoimhe McNally and Kelly Mallon finding the target to supplement four additional points from Reel. But with O'Leary (two), O'Shea and Rachel Dwyer all firing over scores of their own, Kerry eased towards a deserved victory.
