Our girls took to the pitch this morning for our first game of 2024 against Ballyduff. It was cold but conditions were perfect for the game. We set out our side to stifle the opposition and it worked out from the kick off. We had 3 or 4 good chances to score before Ella Brennan broke the deadlock on 13 minutes. We continued to create chances and we doubled our lead through Aoibhe Rees scored on 20 minutes. Because of our attacking game plan we almost got caught before halftime.
The second half started much like the first with our girls pushing on. And about 10 minutes into the second half Ella Brennan popped up to score her second. Midway through the half Saoirse Corcoran fell awkwardly and had to be taken off due to injury.
All of the 19 girls who were there got game time and every single one of them played their part in Mooncoin’s 3 0 victory. A very good performance by all against a Ballyduff side that never gave up and showed a great attitude throughout the game.
Only downside is Saoirse’s injury and hopefully she will be back in a couple of weeks.
