A wet day in Stillorgan saw Enniscorthy Seconds Ladies take on Genesis in the Leinster Cup. They knew it was going to be a tough game from the get go, as the home side started strong, but the Wexford side remained strong. The game was quick to start with Genesis attacking Enniscorthy’s goal. O’Muiri was strong in defence, but the home team were eager to gain short corners and quickly secured a goal. Genesis got several more penalty corners, skilfully saved by ‘keeper Medcalf. Good play up the wing saw Buttle and Hannah Sweeney take excellent shots on goal. As half time neared the Enniscorthy ladies began to settle, however they seceded a goal before the half time whistle.
The second half began with strong play from both teams. Captain Neville assisted Murphy on an unlucky near goal opportunity. The Enniscorthy defence that featuring Power, O’Muiri, Hatton, Graham and Mernagh faced tough competition with Genesis obtaining three more goals in quick succession.
Despite this defeat the Enniscorthy women will learn from the though day at the office and will take on Clontarf next week, where they will be determined to emerge on top.
Squad: Hannah Graham, Laura Redmond, Elaine Hickey, Avril Buttle, Hannah Sweeney, Róisín Ó'Muirí, Saoirse Power, Alice Medcalf, Serena Hatton, Orlaith Breen, Aoife Mernagh, Eleanor Bolger, Megan Dempsey, Ciara Murphy, Mairead Neville
