County 4-Wall League Division 11 Final: Progressive Ellie Murphy-O’Gorman is one of the future

Review by AOB

At 15 years of age she was the youngest entrant in the competition, but when she qualified for the semi final stages, having already tasted defeat in one of her league games, Ellie Murphy-O’Gorman, St. Josephs showed the maturity of  a veteran to go on and take the division 11 title with an impressive 15-9, 15-4 win over Leanne Boland, Coolgreany.

Leanne had just managed to make the knockout stages in 4th place, but then produced her best performance of the competition to knock out her hitherto unbeaten club mate Lucia Merrigan in the semi final.
