It was a Tuesday morning in the plots. Pres Carlow took on Tullow in a highly anticipated game. Sophie Moran took the lead for Pres early on with a nice finish inside 5 minutes. Pres continued to dominate and were soon rewarded with a second goal tucked away by Clara Banjo who had a great performance for the blue, red and green of Pres. Tullow pushed valiantly to get back in the game but to no avail thanks to great defending by Chloe Ryan. Aisling Connolly was causing severe for Tullow down the left hand side. Pres kept Tullow scoreless at the break. Second half started with Tullow pushing on looking to reduce the deficit but Joanne Cranny pulled out multiple great saves. The captain Sarah Duffy was leading by example on the wing. The defence held Tullow out and the game finished 2-0 to Pres.Best players for Pres were Aisling Connolly, Erika Hennessy and Grainne Thompson. It was a great overall team performance for Tullow and it was a great game for the mutuals.
