The under 15 girls put up a great performance against Loreto Kilkenny after their return from the Christmas break. The girls went 1-0 up when Sarah Nolan hit the back of the net after a through ball from Gráinne Thompson and some great passing with Lucy Gibson. Before half time the Loreto girls got past Presentation's defence and slotted the ball past Ciara Kelly. The score was 1-1 at half time. Ciara Kelly did well in the second half but a build-up of pressure in the back line saw the girls going 2-1 down within the last 15 minutes of the game. Aoife Kelly and Sarah Nolan were unfortunate not to put the ball into the back of the net with many narrow misses in the remaining minutes.
The girls finished their league campaign with a fantastic win against St. Leo's. The game got off to a great start with the teams level at 0-0 for a long time until Sarah Nolan got in on goal and scored a fantastic goal to set up the goal streak. Sarah punished the St.Leo's keeper 5 minutes before half time with another goal. The girls came out with a fighting spirit in the second half and Aoife Kelly performed very well in mid field by sending 3 goals to the back of the net. Lucy Gibson also added 2 goals to the score sheet. Sinéad Thompson was unfortunate not to score on the day but assisted greatly with the setup of many goals and ensuring the back line were well covered. Clodagh Hendy made a great impact in the second half when she came on and assisted with the creation of the goals. A combination of Maja Brennan and Gráinne Thompson ensured St. Leo's forwards did not get in on Ciara Kelly in the goal. The girls have enjoyed a successful season this year and they hope to progress to the Leinsters’ in the coming weeks.
