Age Group: U18 Ladies
Teams: Mayobridge v Cumann Pheadair Naofa.
Warrenpoint’s U18 ladies travelled to Mayobridge for their second league match of the campaign on the evening of April 6. With a strong wind blowing straight down the field, the match was a stereotypical “game of two halves”. The home team had the wind at their backs in the first half and made good use of it, heading into half-time with a 5-point advantage. With the turnaround for the second half, it was the visitors’ turn to make the wind count. Fine defensive work from the Blues’ back lines limited scoring opportunities for Mayobridge, whilst the forward lines overhauled the score deficit & more, ensuring that the visitors went home the happier of the two teams, having taken a hard-fought win.
Well done to both sets of players, who had to work hard in challenging conditions.
Best wishes to Ella from Mayobridge, who sustained an injury in the second half & had to leave the field of play.
Final score: Mayobridge 3-7 (16) Cumann Pheadair Naofa 4-11 (23)

U14 Ladies
Cumann Pheadair Naofa v Dundrum – Sunday 10th April, league match
The Warrenpoint u14 ladies got off to a winning start with their first league fixture, away to Dundrum, today. With blustery conditions the Blues played against the wind with an impressive 1 goal and 4 points from Katie Poland bringing us up to half time 1-4 apiece. The second half began brightly with Katie Quinn adding a goal and 2 points to keep us in front, before Dundrum hit a purple patch and took some good scores of their own to keep the contest tight. Further scores from Katie McGivern (1-0), Lilly Sloan (1-2) and Rachel craven (0-1) sealed a 4-09 to 3-70 victory. Stellar work by Hollie Rice in goal and Teagan Carvill in midfield plus some tenacious defending across the entire pitch helped keep a very competitive Dundrum team at bay until the final whistle. Thanks to all at Dundrum for a great game.
