Roscommon’s unbeaten start to their National Camogie League Division 3A campaign continued last Saturday when Mary Grehan’s charges drew with Kildare (Roscommon 0-13 Kildare 1-10) at Hawkfield.
It was a very competitive match all through. Roscommon started well and with Tara Naughton and Sarah Dooley playing well, the visitors forged ahead. They led by 0-6 to 0-1 after 20 minutes but late in the half the home side got into the game. At half-time Roscommon led by 0-7 to 0-5.
Roscommon continued to lead throughout the third quarter with Rachel Fitzmaurice and Sally Bolger also prominent.
Kildare got in for a goal inside the final ten minutes to edge ahead, but two points from Rachel Fitzmaurice saw Roscommon go in front close to the end of the game. Then a late converted free from Kildare’s Lara Sutton brought the sides level at the final whistle.
Roscommon’s next league fixture is away against Laois on March 22nd. Roscommon’s scorers were as follows: Tara Naughton (0-5, 1 free, ’45), Sarah Dooley (0-3), Rachel Fitzmaurice (0-3), Sally Bolger (0-2).
