Ladies football v Milltownpass

Our adult ladies footballers overcame Milltownpass’ second team by 3-15 to 1-4 in Round 3 of their Division 5 League campaign in Milltownpass last Sunday.

Two goals from Aoibhinn Jackson and another from the youthful Grace Maloney were supplemented by points from Anna Wrafter, Becky Scally, Aíne Pettit, Aleisa Fitzgerald, Maloney and Jackson. After losing to Clann Gaels in the first round and receiving a walkover from Ballycomoyle in the second round, this was the team’s first win on the field of play since reforming at the start of the year, and will hopefully be the first of many.

Team: Narelle Saward; Olivia Wrafter, Orla Brennan, Ellie Fitzpatrick; Abbie Coffey, Fiona Dixon, Jane Colton; Ava Rochford, Aideen Pettit; Aíne Pettit, Aleisha Fitzgerald, Anna Wrafter; Grace Maloney, Aoibhinn Jackson, Becky Scally. Subs: Gillian Heeney, Chloe Ruane, Carol McCabe, Ailbhe Rabbitte, Susan Carey, Chloe Gannon, Aoife Finn, Róisín Coffey, Sharon Doonan.
