Gorey started play taking the tip against Enniscorthy Ladies' Second hockey team in the Southeast League last Sunday. A quick paced game followed with the home side making some lovely runs up the field. Serena Hatton kept the ball travelling in the right direction with strong clearances down the field. Gorey hit back and won a free outside the home circle, but defenders Róisín Ó Muirí and Ilsa Flynn were ready for it. Gorey then won a short corner but gained nothing from it as the defense team stayed strong. Ball was cleared by Róisín Ó Muirí but Gorey won another short corner. They gained nothing from this one either thanks to an impressive save by Aoife Foran. Gorey gained another 2 shorts but were unable to score thanks to the Enniscorthy defense team.
The ball was cleared and took up by Avril Buttle who made a fabulous run. A Gorey free saw the ball make it's way back up the field again and another short corner ensued. Serena Hatton saved a shot on goal to keep the sides level. Kim O'Connor worked with Alice Doyle and Fiona Breen to move play quickly up the field. Avril Buttle got a lovely shot on goal.
Another short corner earned Gorey a goal. Enniscorthy responded, Alice Doyle and Eleanor Bolger moving the ball well. Enniscorthy won a short corner as play came to a close. The homeside played out two short corners but were unsuccessful in scoring. Match ended 4-0 to the away side.
