Newry Olympic Ladies 0-1 Mossley Ladies
On Saturday, 1st March, Newry Olympic Hockey Ladies 1st XI played MOssley 1st XI Ladies at home.
Newry pressed on Mossley from the start. Both sides played hard and play was fast for the first twenty minutes. Mossley were on the attack when they slipped the ball past the Newry keeper to make the score one nil. Towards the end of the first half Mossley were awarded numerous corners but failed to score.
At the beginning of the second half both teams came out strong, battling for every pass but neither side conceding any goals. Towards the end of the second half Newry were awarded numerous corners as well but failed to equalise.
Newry Olympic Hockey Ladies 1st XI have now finished in third position over all in the Ulster Hockey Senior 4 League.
Training will begin again at the beginning of August and further details can be found on the website and face book page at the beginning of the 2014/15 season.
Laverne Inns, Captain and Laura Simpson, Vice-Captain would like to thank the RAF, Sainsburys and Canal Court Hotel and Spa for sponsoring the ladies this season with new kit. A special thanks has to go to Tara Mc Shane, Umpire and Norman Toombs, Coach for all their dedication and hard work this past season.

Newry 3's 3-1 South Antrim 3's
Newry hosted South Antrim on Saturday and carried on their recent good run of form with another home win. Jonny McWilliams opened the scoring early in the first half with a well placed short corner. Newry could not add to this lead as they dominated possession for large parts of the half.
Soon after the restart South Antrim made Newry pay as they got back on level terms, only for the home side to respond quickly through another Jonny McWillaims short corner. The away side did not give up and had a goal disallowed before Newry put the game to bed When David Sterritt popped up in the box and a scuffed effort managed to find its way into the Antrim goal.
Team: P. Elmore, K. Best, J. Lawson, D. Lawson, C. Rooney, A. McMinn, D. Sterritt, A. Foster, G. Elias, J. Niblock, M. McCullough, J. McWilliams
