A fantastic start back for the Newry Ladies after the Christmas break as they travelled to Ballyclare to play Parkview Ladies on Friday evening finishing the game with a 2-2 draw.
Newry started strong and were quick to get their first goal when the ball was picked up by center mid Kathryn Baird who played a crash ball into Parkview’s circle winning a short corner. The ball was injected out to Laverne Inns at the top of the circle whose strike was rebounded off the keeper to be picked up by right winger Sarah McNeilly putting the ball in the back of the net. For the rest of the first half, Newry maintained procession, creating some great play and numerous opportunities driving the ball forward. Not long before the half time whistle, Parkview managed to equalise.
Newry were determined to get another goal and it wasn’t long before they went two nil up after winning a short corner. The ball was passed to Sarah McNeilly on the right post who slipped the ball across the goal to Kathryn Baird at the other post who slapped the ball into the net. Newry fought hard to keep the score line 2-1 but with only minutes to go Parkview managed to get a second goal, ending the game 2-2. It was a great performance by the Newry ladies who played really well as a team and dominated the majority of the game.
Team: Kathryn Baird (captain), Laverne Inns, Katie McCullough, Chrissie McAuley, Sarah McNeilly, Zara Moffett, Lisa Murdock, Emma-Jayne Moffett, Jodie Freeman, Rhianna Hale, Suzanne Gilmore, Sara Adams, Rebecca Murdock, Stephanie Smart
