U-14 Girls Division 2 Round 1

Seneschalstown 6-05 Ratoath 0-00

Seneschalstown have a proud tradition of producing excellent Ladies teams and it looks like they could have another special group after their U-14 girls got their Division 2 League campaign off to a fantastic winning start, in a game they entered nervously against last year’s Division 1 team.

However their nerves soon disappeared as they grew in confidence throughout the game, playing with a lovely style of attacking and passing football allied with some excellent finishing. They took to the full size pitch as 13 a side with lots of running required and got off to the perfect start when Sinéad McLarney hit the net after great outfield work from Caragh, Aoibhe Monaghan and Lauren Donnelly. Caragh Monaghan then notched a good point which was soon followed by another lovely point from Mallaidh Breen. The very talented Ms Breen was on fire and soon grabbed another quick point with good assistance from Lauren Donnelly.

The girls grew in confidence and played some great passing football resulting in Sinead McLarney hitting the back of the net again to leave the score at 2-03 to 0-00. The defenders were in excellent form with Leanne Clarke covering superbly and Aoife Mulvany proving very adept at reading the game. McLarney added another point just before a sublime crossfield pass from Sorcha Gough to Lauren Donnelly who caught it on the run and buried to the net. Áine Nangle was clearing her lines superbly at full back and the team was really setting a great platform to build on such an outstanding start.

The second half began with Lauren McCarthy, Ava Garland and Ava Jane Ryan introduced to the fray. A great run from midfield and point from Caragh Monaghan sent the girls on their way again and this was followed by a succession of goals with Gough, Donnelly and Ava Jane Ryan all raising the green flag.

This was a superb start to the season for this promising young team and a great display holding a strong Ratoath team scoreless.
