A rip roaring contest to get the older girls going with impressive displays from all girls from both clubs. Villa raced into a 3 goal lead with our girls getting to grip with the game but back they came with Ciara O’Keeffe burying a free kick before half time.

The second half started slow but goals from Ciara O’Keeffe and Emily Blackmore to level things up but the Villa nicked a winner in the last five minutes.

A brilliant refereeing performance from the great Falla Wall who helped both teams through the contest when required.

A defeat in the end but the smiles afterwards made it seem like a victory. The first step taken in what we are sure will be a great season. Brilliant support on the line for a brilliant performance from all the girls.
