The Harps Camogie Club

The girls are through to their third All-Ireland final in a row after they beat Lavey of Derry in the semi final by 1-10 to 1-8 in Casement Park in Belfast.

Louise Mahony hit 1-9 including 1-4 from play and sister Elaine weighed in with the other point after her return from travelling.

The Harps put in a powerful first half as they dominated the game and led 1-7 to 1-2 at the break. Lavey came more into the game in the second half and threatened to score a crucial goal on several occasions but solid keeping from Maeve Brophy and dogged defending from the full back line held them out.

The final whistle was greeted with joy and the team were cheered off the field by the large band of travelling support. There’s one game left now, the All Ireland Final against Kilmaley of Clare on November 16th.
