A toughened Kilkenny side managed by Frank Begley visited us yesterday for a friendly and it turned out to be a good run out for both sides.

Both sides had chances in the first half with Grace O Toole doing really well on goal for ourselves but it was Kilkenny who took the lead with a long range effort on the stroke of half time. We dug in at the start of the second half and created a few chances before a brilliant passage of play between 6 players saw Ella Brennan finish with a bullet of a shot at the near post.

Some scrappy defending from us and tired legs saw us concede a couple of soft goals and two penalties to see Kilkenny run out winners. Good run out for all 16 girls on duty.
