Rounders Teams do Club Proud
On Sunday August 30th, our Intermediate Ladies kitted out and made the journey to Abbotstown, Dublin, for the All-Ireland Final, where we faced a strong Galway City Raparees side.
From the very first ball, Elphin showed incredible determination and composure. It was a tense, tightly contested game, with both teams battling hard to keep the scoreboard ticking over. Our fielding was outstanding, keeping Galway under serious pressure and not allowing them to take home a single run from their 2nd, 3rd or 4th innings.
Elphin kept chipping away, staying right with Galway throughout the game and ensuring there was very little between the sides.
Then came Elphin’s final batting innings — and what a moment it was! The team dug deep, finding the runs when it mattered most and taking the lead heading into Galway’s final bat.
Galway entered their final innings needing just two runs to win.
The tension was unreal. Every ball mattered. Every player gave absolutely everything.
It was a final that went right down to the wire and showcased everything that makes rounders so special, teamwork, determination, skill, resilience and never giving up until the very last ball.
A huge congratulations to both teams on an incredible All-Ireland Final, and to our Elphin ladies, who can be so proud of the fight and heart they showed on the biggest stage.
Congratulations and well done to our amazing group of u12 Go Games Rounders players who played in their last Go Games blitz in Lisnamult last Saturday. Elphin played Kilmore and Michael Glaveys, displaying some great running, batting and catching. The future of Elphin Rounders Club looks bright
