Leinster Final Here We Come - 2023 Wicklow Camogie Intermediate Championship
Great write up by the Wicklow People’s Kevin Stapleton (16Oct2023)
Classy Ciara Lancaster guides Arklow Rocks to stunning victory over Glenealy in Wicklow Intermediate camogie final
Arklow side jump from Junior to Senior in two seasons
Arklow Rocks 1-9
Glenealy 0-11
Two frees from Ciara Lancaster deep into injury-time snatched victory from the jaws of defeat for Arklow Rocks in the 2023 Intermediate camogie final at Pearse’s Park. Arklow, on Sunday.
Leading for the majority of the game, Lancaster was unnerved as her side fell behind in the 57th minute and split the posts with accurate precision to cap a remarkable 12 months for her club.
In 2022, the Rocks captured Junior honours and just over 12 months later they are celebrating a further championship title and Senior status for 2024.
The final game of the triple header in Arklow, this decider was the best battle on show for the day with Laura Manley and Ciara Lancaster going toe-to-toe for their sides.
In the opening half, the Arklow girls looked very athletic with Lizzie Bourke showing threat with direct runs at speed at the Glenealy defence. Lancaster opened the scoring in this bout in the seventh minute with a free and added another in the 12th.
Glenealy had goalkeeper Jessica Driver to thank for preventing a disastrous opening 15 minutes when she somehow managed to keep an Arklow effort out and prevented a goal.
For Arklow and for Ciara Lancaster, sometimes things seem to go your way. Lancaster generated a bit of space to get a shot away that was excellently blocked but the ball rebounded straight back into Lancaster’s hand who made certain the second time around and opened a three-point lead for her side. Aoife Weir almost opened Glenealy’s account with a goal chance saved by Íde Ryan and Kelly Somers blocking the rebound. Jessica Driver was equal to Arklow’s effort at the other end with the Glenealy stopper thwarting Elizabeth Bourke in the 15th minute. Laura Manley finally got Glenealy up and running with 17 minutes on the clock with a well taken free.
Manley was to play a huge role for her side from placed balls and her accuracy over the course of the hour was another plot line in this encounter.
The Glkenealy ace brought the gap back to a single point with another fine free in the 23rd minute but Arklow’s free-taker Ciara Lancaster was equally adept from placed balls and responded with a free of her own two minutes later.
Glenealy were finding it hard to break down a crowded defence with Arklow’s Emma Breen and Jessica Mellon providing tight coverage around the Arklow goal and defending valiantly in the game. A 45 from Laura Manley brought it back to a single score coming up to the break but an excellent score from play from Ciara Lancaster made it 0-5 to 0-3 at the interval.
Laura Manley was just as capable at finding her teammates with long-range frees as she was at splitting the post and the Glenealy captain found Erynn O’Brien on one such occasion in the fifth minute of the half to split the posts.
Manley followed up with a levelling score with another trademark free and the tide was looking to be turning in Glenealy’s favour. However, the game’s only major arrived in the 10th minute with Glenealy desperately unfortunate to concede.
Jessica Driver again made a fantastic save to prevent a Ciara Lancaster goal but the rebound off the save resulted in a small ruck forming just away from the goal. When the ball was touched out of the crowd of bodies, it was Catherine Bourke who got on the end of the loose ball and charged down on the Glenealy goal and fired a powerful effort to the back of the net.
Glenealy had the perfect response to this with three unanswered points coming from Leah Condell, and a double from Manley.
Both sides should be credited with playing the game at a great pace with Doireann Killoran and Lizzie Bourke establishing a platform with quick play for Arklow and Laura Manley and Lottie Cullen providing the ammunition for Glenealy around the middle of the park.
Ciara Lancaster was the beneficiary of good work from Killoran to put the Rocks back in front in the 50th minute but another Manley free restored parity only minutes later.
A fantastic Arklow score came from the puckout with Íde Ryan finding Lizzie Bourke, who in turn fired a long-range pass down to Roisin Murphy. Murphy showed a deft touch to control the ball on the hurl and turn and fire over a fantastic score.
Another goal chance came Glenealy’s way with Aoife Weir unlucky to see her effort turned wide for a 45 with Manley firing over the leveller.
Laura Manley was in powerful form and anything from 65 yards was well within her range. She showed exactly how lethal she is with a free from just outside the 65 line sailing over the bar to give Glenealy the lead in the 57th minute.
This score was a fantastic strike and probably should have seen Glenealy kick on from this point and see the game out, but this was not in Arklow’s make up.
Lancaster stood tall to fire over a leveller in the first minute of additional time and with time almost up, and a very difficult angle facing her, the Arklow sharpshooter fired over an equally impressive score much to the delight of the Arklow crowd on the roadside of the ground.
Glenealy had time to launch one final attack, but Arklow turned over the ball, drew a free and ran out the clock to come out deserving winners and bounce into Senior ranks for 2024. With many young, athletic players in their ranks, they can really look forward to a bright future.
Arklow: Íde Ryan; Chloe Dobson, Jessica Mellon, Kelly Somers; Niamh Killoran, Emma Breen, Doireann Kavanagh; Doireann Killoran, Elizabeth Bourke; Aine Byrne, Roisin Murphy (0-1), Ciara Lancaster (0-8, 6f). Subs: Aife O’Brien, Maisie Mellon, Catherine Bourke (1-0); Aoife Kavanagh for A O’Brien
Glenealy: Jessica Driver; Grace Drumgoole, Ailbhe Dowling, Nicola Souster; Naoise O’Neill, Lisa Hogan, Niamh O’Brien; Laura Manley (0-9, 6f, 2 45s), Lottie Cullen; Kelly O’Neill, Abi Farrell, Erynn O’Brien (0-1); Shauna Kelly, Aoife Weir, April Dickenson.

- 2023 Leinster Junior B Semi-final
A great write up from the Wicklow People’s Liam O’Loughlin (14Nov2023)
An extraordinary Leinster debut for Arklow Rocks as they secure place in provincial final
Late Bardon goal sends Wicklow Intermediate champions through to Junior ‘B’ decider.
Arklow Rocks 1-6
Burren Rangers 2-1
Wicklow Intermediate camogie champions Arklow Rock Parnells made an extraordinary debut in the Leinster Junior ‘B’ camogie championship when they played host to Carlow champions Burren Rangers at Pearse’s Park in Arklow on Saturday last, November 11. The Arklow side, who trailed their Carlow opponents for the entire game from the seventh minute onwards, only got their noses in front one minute into added time when Erin Bardon got the crucial touch in a goalmouth scramble to give her side the lead for the first time in the game as the finishing post approached. And they held on for a thrilling victory by 1-6 to 2-1.
While it’s difficult to be ungrateful for the good fortune to move ahead at just the right moment, in truth it was a break that ARP richly deserved. They dominated the second half, enjoying at least 60 per cent of possession, as they battled to overturn a deficit of two goals at half-time. Burren Rangers had got off to the better start in the opening half and half-forward Lynsey Ward put them in front on the scoreboard with a good point after two minutes. Play was evenly contested at this stage and Ciara Lancaster brought the sides level at 0-1 apiece when she pointed a free. Lady Luck appeared to have a vendetta against the Rocks side and the first instance of this occurred after eight minutes. Rangers’ Emer Deacon shot for a point from the right wing, but the ball dropped short. Ida Ryan appeared to have things in control, but the ball deflected to the net just inside her left post to leave the visitors 1-1 to 0-1 ahead. Rangers were growing in confidence and Helena Cranny, Niamh Cox and Aoife Carroll were prominent as they began to vigorously contest. The Arklow side, through Niamh and Doireann Killoran, Lizzie and Catherine Bourke, Aine Byrne, Ciara Lancaster and Maisie Mellon were more than holding their own, but the scores were not coming. Lady Luck struck another blow coming up to half-time. Rangers’ Sarah Cox was short with a free which dropped into the Rocks goalmouth, but the ball took a deflection off a defender’s hurley and finished in the net. This left Burren Rangers 2-1 to 0-1 ahead at the break. The Rocks began the second half in a very determined fashion. Ciara Lancaster pointed a free after three minutes and when Maisie Mellon batted home the rebound from a Marie O’Neill save in the visitors’ goal, Rocks thought they were back in business. But that old Lady Luck was still in foul mood and the goal was disallowed, presumably for a square infringement. The home side battled on and points from a Ciara Lancaster free and 45 left a goal between the sides as we went into the final quarter. Excitement was building as the Rocks kept up the pressure. In fairness to Burren Rangers, they weren’t exactly surrendering easily as they battled to hold on. Their goalie Marie O’Neill was proving to be a good shot stopper and invariably the ball kept coming back out of defence. The Rocks must have forced up to half a dozen fruitless 45s to no avail, but they kept battling on. Lizzie Bourke pointed from play and when Ciara Lancaster pointed a free the gap was down to the minimum with 10 minutes to go.
Burren Rangers continued to defend heroically and must have felt that they might just hold on as the game moved into four minutes of added time. However, it was then that Lady Luck eventually relented, and Erin Bardon rescued the game with her goal. The Rocks held on for a famous win. It was no more than they deserved. Burren Rangers defended gamely in the second half but failed to add to their half-time score. ARP: Ide Ryan; Aoife Kavanagh, Jessica Mellon, Kelly Somers; Niamh Killoran, Emma Breen, Chloe Dobson; Doireann Killoran, Lizzie Bourke (0-1); Aine Byrne, Catherine Bourke, Ciara Lancaster (0-5, 4f, 45); Aoife O’Brien, Maisie Mellon, Erin Bardon (1-0). Sub: Zara Fennell. Burren Rangers: Marie O’Neill; Edelle Morrissey, Amy Maloney, Helena Cranny; Caoimhe Byrne, Niamh Cox, Aibhe Kiernan; Aoife Carroll, Mia Collier; Sarah Cox (1-0, f), Roisin Connolly, Lynsey Ward (0-1); Sami Salter Bermingham, Eimear Ralleigh, Eimear Deacon (1-0).

The loss of Miley has been a devastating blow for our family as we know it has been for many of you.

Miley was a proud life long member of the Arklow Rocks. We know that we don’t need to tell you all how much he enjoyed his trips to The Field, the matches and the pub for a sing song and some craic. Miley valued the many many friends that he made as part of the club. As he so often said ‘Up the Rocks’ 💚🤍💚🤍
