We let the opposition steal a march on us in the first half when they scored two goals which proved decisive. The second half was a much closer contest and the defensive efforts from both sides was immense but Éire Óg could not get the scores to close the gap. The match finished 2.6 to 0.4.
There were first senior appearances for Jennifer Treacy, Samantha Howard and Cassandra Jones. Well done to all our players and thanks to Silvermines for such a good match. The next match for the seniors is another home game against Drom and Inch at 11a.m next Saturday the 9th of April in McDonagh Park. All support welcome.
