Our Ladies team travelled to Tramore this evening for our second to last game of Womens Winter League .

In a beautiful gesture , Tramore presented our club with a pennant . Given in friendship and in memory of our player The Late Kate Corcoran .

This young team gave one of their best performances in the winter league this evening . And although the score was 3-1 to the home side , the score line doesn’t in anyway reflect the game as a whole .

We started the game strongly and made some very good passes . We were getting our heads up and picking out players and passes . Our back four led by one of our Captains Amy Lehane stood firm and worked hard together to extinguish any imminent Tramore danger .
Bathany and Hannah Carroll played some excellent football in the centre of the Park breaking down play and getting ball foward . Our youngest player Ella Brennan was a thorn in the side of the opposition this evening and proved her worth on the field of play . Emily Blackmore and Rebecca Derwin were our ladies up front and battled hard for 90 minutes this evening.
We took the lead on the 25 minute mark , when Ella Brennan broke free of a tackle and put the ball down the line for Emily Blackmore , who took a touch and seeing the Tramore keeper off her line , took a shot from just outside the box the sailed to the back of the net . On the 40 minute mark a Tramore player found themselves one on one with Our Keeper Abbie Hassett and what looked to be a sure fire goal was saved by the determined keeper .
At the break we led 0-1
Tramore pulled a goal back ten minutes into the second half . But our heads didn’t drop . Added a second 15 from the finish . We had a couple of chances but didn’t capitalise on them . Tramore netted a third with a couple of minutes on the clock . Putting daylight between the teams .
The result didn’t go our way this evening . But there was so many positives from our performance, that it’s hard to be too disheartened. Many thanks to all who travelled to support us .
