HIGHLIGHTS | Kenneally at the double again as Limerick seal Ladies Football League semi-final place

Last year’s League runners up are back in the semi-finals following a comprehensive result in Owenbeg on Sunday afternoon.

Limerick sealed their place in the last four of Division 4 of the National Ladies Football League with a comfortable 2-7 to 0-4 win over Derry in Owenbeg.

Iris Kenneally, as she did in the previous outing, bagged a pair of goals, one in either half to see off the hosts who kicked three of their four points in the final minutes after Limerick had opened a 12-point advantage.

Karen O’Leary handpassed Limerick into the lead early on and they wouldn’t relinquish that for the remainder of the contest. Derry did get within one following Cathy Mee’s first score but the Ballylander’s woman made it a two-point game with her second before Kenneally struck her first.

Mee added to her tally with Clare O’Meara rounding out the first-half score at 1-5 to 0-1 in favour of the visitors.

With the result all but guaranteed, the second was played at a slower pace, Deborah Murphy hitting over a pair of frees before Kenneally found the top corner for her second green flag. Derry had the final three points of the afternoon as Limerick progressed to the League semi-finals alongside Leitrim with both sides finishing on 10 points.

Fermanagh and Antrim progressed from the other group in Division 4 with the semi-finals to be played on Sunday March 26.
