A great 1-nil win for the Newry Ladies as they played Cookstown Ladies in a home fixture on Saturday 14 January. Newry started the match strong and kept Cookstown in their own half with super tackling and passing putting their defense under pressure early on.Newry was close to a goal when the ball was played by centre forward Stephanie Smart across Cookstown’s circle to Sarah McNeilly on the right wing who took a shot on goal but was saved by the keeper. A goal was coming for Newry as they continued to kept the pressure on and created many more chances in the first half.
Newry came out in the second half determined to get a goal. Cookstown had a few early chances but were fantastically saved by keeper Katie McCullough. With less than 10 minutes to go Newry secured the winning goal when Stacey Moffett passed the ball onto Laverne Inns inside the circle whose shot went towards the right post where Sarah Brookes tapped it into the goal.
A brilliant performance and a very well-deserved win for the Olympic side who fought to the final whistle.
Final Score: Newry Ladies 1-0 Cookstown Ladies
Team: Kathryn Baird (Captain), Laverne Inns, Katie McCullough, Chrissie McAuley, Stacey Moffett, Sarah McNeilly, Sarah Brookes, Abbey Haire, Stephanie Smart, Rebecca Murdock, Zara Moffett, Rhianna Hale, Lisa Murdock, Rose Clarke
