U11s rebound with a win

by Jerry de Gryse
The Girls Under 11s bounced back from a humbling 0-5 loss last week to defeat Fahan White 6-nil. An impenetrable defence (Alouisa and Sophie), good control of the ball and aggressive tackling in the mid- field (Grace and Tearliah) kept the pressure on the Fahan goal for the full 40 minutes. The only threat all day coming in the closing seconds of play with the ball finally being cleared after a long scramble at the goal mouth.

Anna, Jessica Hepburn, Niahm, Alison and Sophie (her first this year) all scored goals in an impressive display of teamwork. Well done girls.
