As Saturday draws ever closer to the Junior Ladies Final,
tonight we look at Carrickmacross Emmets route to the All-Ireland.
Like their senior men the ladies from Monaghan sailed
through their group games unbeaten and beat Emo of Laois in the semi-final in a
titanic battle.
Carrick started their campaign against the Meath side
Dunderry and were impressive through out the game and laid down an early marker
winning 15-1.
The same day the Monaghan women faced another Meath side in
Skyrne and ran out impressive winners on a scoreline of 26-7 with having two
batting innings in hand.
Next up was the ladies first home game of the season and
after the first few games they were now playing with a great deal of
confidence. They welcomed Dublin Mets to Monaghan which ended up been a top of
the table clash. They made it three wins from three with another impressive
win.
Their last game of the group stage was against neighbours
Drumhowan knowing a win would secure top place in the group and setting up a
clash with Emo, they delivered dispatching Drumhowan keeping them scoreless and
registering an 11-0 scoreline.
Carrick travelled to Clonguish last weekend high in
confidence but knew they faced their toughest game of the season against an
upcoming Emo side. For long stages it looked like Emo would knock the Monaghan
side out but, in the end, Carrick came up thrumps making a stunning comeback,
as they were 10 runs down but finished eventual winners 22-21 booking a place against Castletown Liam Mellows in the final.
