U16 Girls enjoy trip to Dublin

GIRLS U16

Mastergeeha 1 Portmarnock AFC 0.

Last weekend Mastergeeha girls went on tour with an away trip to Portmornock AFC Dublin on their first trip outside the county. The girls recorded a good victory over strong opponents. In the opening quarter playing against the wind on the Malihide pitch the girls defended well, with Emer Casey and Noreen O’Sullivan dominating.  In the 20th minute Mastergeeha goal keeper Ann O’Keeffe made an excellent save to keep the score level. After this the girls upped the pace with good link up play by Marie Sheehan and Miriam Healy.  In the 25th minute a free kick taken by Ciara Nagle from just outside the box was well controlled by Tracy Coffey and finished to the net. In the closing minutes of the half, the home side threatened again, but the score remained 1-0.  In the second half Mastergeeha continued to play and Miriam Healy dominating their positions. In this even half both sides created good scoring chances with Miriam Healy going close for the visitors. In the closing stages Portmarnock were unlucky not to score when they again hit the post. However the Mastergeeha girls defended to record a memorable victory. This victory was based on the good play and hard work of all involved. Panel: Ann O’Keeffe, Miriam Looney, Noreen O’Sullivan, Emer Casey, Aoife Doyle, Aine Riordan, Miriam Healy, Ciara Nagle, Orla Bruton, Tracy Coffey, Marie Sheehan, Asling O’Leary, Amanda Lyne, Joanne Looney, Gillian Fitzgerald, Marie McSweeney, Shaunagh O’Connell. The girls and all that travelled greatly enjoyed this away trip and overnight stay. This was a great social outing with all enjoying Bowling, Qunzar, Pool and Snooker.
