Kilmessan’s domination of the county camogie scene shows no sign of waning as they claimed a fantastic fivein-a-row of senior titles after defeating Trim by 3-7 to 2-4 in this year’s decider at Longwood. Three first half goals laid the foundations for the win with Kilmessan ahead by nine-points at one stage in the first half. Aisling McLoughlin’s goal was sandwiched by two from Kelly Gorman as Kilmessan went 3-2 to 0-2 in front, but Trim grabbed a lifeline when Shona White fired to the net before the break to reduce the deficit to 1-3 to 3-2. Aileen Donnelly stretched the lead on the resumption but Trim hit back with a Christine Fagan goal to leave just three points between the sides. Kilmessan defended like their lives depended on it and after a long scoreless patch, Katie Ni Choileann scored a fantastic point before Donnelly was hand with a couple of placed balls to stretch the lead out once more. Trim couldn’t close the gap and as the final whistle went, Kilmessan’s place at the top of Meath camogie was further cemented.
