Great show from our U13 girls in their division 8 shield final today. We were expecting it to be a tough day out but we started brightly scoring 3 points in quick succession, but Mearnog came back into it scoring 2 nice points themselves. We began to dominate the game after the first water break and got some nice scores from outside the D. Our defense were kept very busy at times but thankfully we kept them at bay for the remainder of the period and finished the half 0-6 0-2. The 2nd half started much like the first half had ended, our defense were brilliant, they gave them nothing, any ball that came in was sent stratight back out, our midfielders were feeding ball into the attackers, who were busy keeping the scoreboard ticking over. We scored a brilliant team goal in the 3rd quarter,

But unfortunately we seemed to run out of steam in the last quarter, mearnog came back into it and In the last few minutes of the game scored 2 goals and a point to take the victory.

Final score

Westmanstown 1-7

Naomh Mearnog 2-6

What an excellent team performance, these girls should be so proud of themselves today.

Parents: thanks very much for sticking with it this year, I know that it hasn’t been easy at times….but I hope that you can see it’s worth it from the show they put on for us today.
