We welcomed Lakewood from Cork to Suir Crescent for a Munster semi final and an absolute cracker of a match was played out.

15 seconds on the clock and Lakewood were celebrating the opener. Our girls quickly settled and started getting on top and were rewarded when Emily Blackmore hit a superb half volley from 25 yards out on the 15 minute mark.

Half time came with the score staying the same thanks to a wonder save from Alannah Tobin just on half time. Lakewood broke early in the second period and scored a good goal to steal ahead but back came our girls when Ella Brennan headed home the equaliser to wild celebrations. Extra time looked likely with little between the two sides but a long ball out of defence sent the lakewood number 9 clear and she slipped in a 3rd goal with 2 minutes left on the clock.

On the full time whistle, a corner was poked home to send Lakewood through to the Munster final. Hugely disappointing result but what a brilliant performance from all 11 on duty with outstanding games put in by all. Best of luck to Lakewood in the final.
