Donaghadee Ladies 2-0 Newry Ladies
Newry Ladies travelled to wet and windy Bangor to play Donaghadee which resulted in a 2-0 defeat. Newry started strong and created some good linkages but were unable to get past the Donaghadee’s solid defence. It wasn’t long before Donaghadee played the ball into Newry’s circle scoring their first goal of the match. Newry continued to work hard and sweeper Chrissie McAuley played some great hit outs clearing the ball well out of Newry’s half. Unfortunately, with only minutes from half time, Donaghadee scored their second goal. Newry managed to get a few chances in the second half but it just wasn’t their day. With super defending from the Newry ladies who fought to the final whistle no further goals were conceded.
Team: Kathryn Baird (captain), Laverne Inns, Katie McCullough, Chrissie McAuley, Zara Moffett, Rebecca Murdock, Stephanie Smart, Jodie Freeman, Rhianna Hale, Suzanne Gilmore, Stacey Kidd, Sara Adams, Abbey Haire
Newry 1’s 1-3 South Antrim 1’s
High-flying South Antrim were the visitors for Newry on Saturday in the latest round of league fixtures. They came away with a well deserved 3-1 win.
After an edgy first quarter South Antrim took the lead through a smartly worked short corner, however the lead was short lived as Newry managed to get back on level terms with a short corner of their own with David England the scorer.
South continued to dominate possession in the second half as they scored after a rapid counter attack in the third quarter, before Newry could sort themselves out South quickly got their third knocking the stuffing out of the home side. As much as Newry tried to get back into the game in the final quarter they could not muster up an clear cut chances as the game finished 3-1.
Team: R. McGivern, D. England, N. McKnight, A. Baird, G. Moffett, J. Porter, J. Greer, K. Fletcher, S. Blakely, C. Large, A. Shekleton, J. Gregg, S. McCafferty, M. Murdock
