Austin Stacks 3-6 Burren Gaels 2-8 

In the Munster Intermediate Championship quarter final Austin Stacks made the journey across the ferry to take on Clare champions Burren Gaels last Sunday. Driving winds and rain made for very testing conditions, but the Tralee side showed toughness and resilience to claim victory. Mollie O’Carroll was the hero of the hour when her last minute goal snatched victory from the jaws of defeat to claim a 1 victory for the Rock Street girls. It was O’Carroll’s second goal of the encounter, with the former Kerry All Ireland winning underage star also hitting the net on the stroke of half time to leave Austin Stacks with a slender 1-5 to 0-6 half time lead. Veteran star Marina Barry added another goal midway through the second period, and further points from Megan O’Brien and Ellen O’Connell left the black and amber just 2 behind. O’Carroll then struck in the final minute to break the Burren hearts and leave the Austin Stacks players and supporters in raptures of excitement. Next up for Austin Stacks is a Munster Intermediate semi final against Kinsale of Cork next weekend, with the time and venue tbc. 

Austin Stacks scorers; Mollie O’Carroll 2 goals, Marina Barry 1-1, Megan O’Brien 0-2, Ellen O’Connell 0-1, Maeve McKivergan 0-1, Karina Quilter 0-1.
