A titanic battle took place in Suir Crescent this afternoon with very little between the two teams.

A rip roaring start by us saw Emily Blackmore cause a few problems and a penalty was awarded after Emily was upended. Unfortunately a super save by the Breaska Keeper kept the penalty out.

Breaska were dangerous all over the pitch and were rewarded with a penalty of their own after some slack defending which they converted despite the best efforts of Grace O Toole. A few minutes before half time we were punished for more slack defending and Breaska went in 2 nil to the good.
A stern talk at half time saw a resurgence in the girls and some excellent football was played before Ella Brennan buried one from 20 yards out on 70 minutes. Try as we might, that equaliser eluded us and Breaska scored from a corner with a few minutes remaining. Disappointing result but a heck of a performance from our young side.

Excellent performance throughout with stand out players being Grace O’Toole, Becky Connaughton, Beth Kelly and the star today Ella Brennan.
Best of luck to Breaska Rovers in the rest of the competition.
