Ladies League Result: Park Rangers 3 – 2 Mooncoin Celtic

These two sides may be sitting bottom of the league but they served up a cracker in Faithlegg and unfortunately we came out the wrong end of it.

A cagey first half hour saw no goals with Park Rangers on top and they broke the deadlock just after the half hour mark capitalising on sloppy defending.

We did create two great chances before half time with Sarah Walsh and Laura Power going close.

The second half was a tight battle but again some slack defending saw Park Rangers stretch their lead and we thought that was it but this young side dug in and got right back in it with Laura Power scoring from distance to get us back in the game.

Park Rangers got a good 3rd goal to put breathing space between the teams again but back came our girls and a corner that was swung in brilliantly by Sommer Grant, was poked home by Becky Derwin.

What looked like a stone wall penalty to everyone in the ground was turned down when Sommer Grant was hacked down right on the edge of the box but a free kick is all was given. Grace O’Toole then pulled off a brilliant save from a penalty and this spurred the girls on to pile on the pressure right until the final whistle with wave after wave of attack not yielding an equaliser.

Some brilliant deliveries by Becky Derwin could not get past a brilliant Park Rangers goalkeeper in the last 10 minutes.


Defeat but brilliant entertainment and well done to Park Rangers on their win.


Great performance by all in the squad with special mention this evening to Laura Power who got a deserved goal and worked tirelessly throughout.
