Newmarket 4-14 – Fergus Rovers 0-03 at Banner GAA

NEWMARKET recorded a comprehensive victory over an understrength Fergus Rovers on Thursday evening to keep them in the hunt for silverware.

The dual senior club, who captured the county intermediate title last year, were much sharper while seven of their players contributed scores. At half time they led 3-7 02 and maintained their firm grip on proceedings for the second period to ease up to victory. The Kaiser sisters, Ruth and Niki scored two goals each while team captain Carol O’Leary chipped in with four points.

The winners had fine performances from Roisin McMahon, Chloe Morey, Carol O’Leary, Laura McMahon and the Kaiser sisters. Carmel McGuane was outstanding for Fergus Rovers while Kelly Talty, Aoife Clohessy, Clare Hester and Laura Hanrahan all played well.

Newmarket are well in contention in this competition and will play Miltown in an outstanding fixture after the Clare v Tipperary match next Monday while Fergus Rovers are now out of the championship.
