A strong first half display by our Minor girls saw them entering the second half 1-0 to a very strong St. Josephs Rochfortbridge team. The girls held a lot of possession in the first half but found it hard to break down the opponent's defence. Our defence of Lauren Kenny, Sinéad Thompson, Clare Miller and Erin McElligott maintained their focus and determination for the first half. Unfortunately, in the second half, three more goals were scored and the girls lost 4-0. Aoife Kelly and Orla Woods were unlucky to have shots saved in the second half. However, the team worked hard for the entire ninety minutes and will have gained a lot of experience from the game. Players who stood out on the day were Lauren Kenny and Tegan O'Sullivan. Presentation College vs St. Josephs Rochfortbridge - Final score: 0-4
A five goal thriller saw the Presentation girls overcome a strong Scoil Chríost Rís team. A fumble on the goal line saw Katie Ingram slot away the first goal for the girls. Soon afterwards a well-executed free kick taken by Orla Woods found the top corner of the goal leaving the girls 2-0 up at half time. A penalty shot taken by Scoil Chríost Rís was slotted past Ciara Kelly, despite her best attempts to reach the ball in time. Presentation girls quickly made it back up the field and a lovely run by Aoife Kelly, Orla Woods and a pass in by Niamh Murphy led Emer O'Hanlon in on goal and she slotted the ball past the keeper to make it 3-1. Scoil Chríost Rí refused to lie down and scored ten minutes before the end which made it 3-2. The Presentation girls defended well and came out 3-2 winners in the end. Players that stood out on the day were Aoife Kelly, Chloe Rice and Emer O'Hanlon. Presentation College vs Scoil Chríost Rís - Final score: 3-2
