Eire Og Greystones Ladies Defeat Baltinglass
Junior "B" Championship Final
Eire Og Greystones 5 - 9 Baltinglass 0 - 11
The Junior "B" Championship final, played last Sunday in Aughrim, resulted in a fine win for the ladies for Greystones. However the score line does not reflect the closeness of the affair. With a mere seven minutes remaining Eire Og were clinging to a 3 points lead but a flurry of goals finished the gallant fight back by the lassies from the west to leave Eire Og champions.
The match, played in a sporting manner by both teams started with Anne Marie Doran on fire for Baltinglass and points by herself (2) and Geraldine Norton gave Baltinglass the start they need and they led by 3 points before Eire Og scored. That score engineered by Player of the final Caoilfhionn Deeney put Lesley Anne Long through on goal and she gave Niamh Moore in the Baltinglass goal no chance from close range. The match ebbed and flowed from that point to half time with points from Anne Marie Doran, and Norton for Baltinglass replied by Tracey O'Halloran and Deeney leaving the half time score Baltinglass 0-6 to Eire Og's 1- 4.
However Eire Og's Tracy O'Halloran at this stage had been sin binned just before the break and supporters wondered the effect the sin bin would have on their team. But the tireless work of Mide Ni Suilleabhain, who curbed the effectiveness of Anne Marie Doran, and Deeney kept the Baltinglass forwards at bay,. Indeed by the time O'Halloran returned Eire Og's lead had been extended to 2-5 to 0-7 with the goal resulting from the direct running Laurie Ahern. When Tracy O'Halloran pointed it looked like curtains for the Baltinglass girls but the stuck to their task and Sinead Fisher who had been introduced as a second half substitute and fine play by Louise Byrne started the revival with a point and this was followed by points by Anne Marie Doran and Karen Cardiff brought the deficit to 3.
But the Eire Og girls then should their mettle and with Lorna Fuscardi and Tracy O'Halloran, who scored 2 fine frees, dominating the centre the ship was steadied when Denney, Long and Keely Ryder goaled leaving the final score Eire Og 5-9 to Baltinglass 0-11.
The cup was presented by Dominic Leech to the Eire Og captain Mide Ni Suilleabhain and he thanked the Men's County Board for the use of Aughrim, the sporting teams and their fine mentors and players and also the team of officials who took charge of the match - principally the Referee Liam Cullen (Hollywood).

Press Release - 4th May 2005
Éire Óg Greystones GAA Club turned the sod on their new clubhouse development which will cost in excess of one million
euro. Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government Dick Roche was present to do the honours with club chairman
Oliver Leonard, club presidents Patsy Vickers and Des Mitchell, with Nellie Vickers, Ray Barry and Eleanor Roche also present.
When completed the clubhouse will have approx 600 sq metres of facilities which will incorporate a sports hall/function
room, a new large kitchen, new meeting room, office room, stores, new dressing rooms which will be self contained
and the referee will have his or her own self contained suite to enjoy. To date the club has a track record of providing
sporting facilities for the young people of Greystones and the general area. It has two playing pitches in operation and
needs more ground to cater for the explosion of population that's taking place in Greystones right now. A small
piece of land that is lying idle and derelict adjoins the club and they hope to aquire that as it is the only piece of
ground left that adjoins the club.
The club is in its high season at the moment and has approx 800 members, male and female, hurlers and footballers. For
