The girls played Abbeydorney at home in phase 2 of the county league last Monday evening the 11th of June & recorded another good win. Despite a slow start the girls gradually fought their way back into the game & aided by a strong breeze & some good finishing we were ahead at halftime. We started the second half with another quick goal but Abbeydorney were now coming more into the game & with the strong wind now at their backs they pushed us all the way to the finish but our backs held out with some great defending.
