Our young ladies side came very close this morning to causing a little upset.

A very tight game was edged out in the last few minutes after a right ding doing battle. A soft effort resulted in an early lead for Carrick but our girls stuck to their task and forced a defensive mistake and an OG to pull level. 1 all at half time.

We took an early lead in the second half through the excellent Laura Power knocking home after a scramble in defence. From here we battled away holding carrick out and also creating numerous chances throughout the second half. A corner was to result in Carrick’s equaliser being knocked home with 6 minutes left and within minutes they broke away to knock home the winner after we went close ourselves.

A cruel end to an entertaining game where all our girls gave everything. Pick of the bunch today were Becky Connaughton, Sarah Corcoran and Laura Power.
