It was an early start for the u14 girls as they travelled to Railway Union for their first match of the season, as they took on the challenge of the home team, over three twenty minute games. These games were played on half a pitch with 8 players aside. The Enniscorthy girls were not phased by facing such a strong opponent and straight from the tip off they took on the opposition with Hannah Sweeney, Lily Mahon and Laura Smith to the four. With Sophie Gillot and Katie Sutton solid in defence and Aoife Mernagh and Emer Doyle creative in midfield, they caused Railway Union all sorts of problems. With Alice Medcalf in goal making some outstanding saves, they held Railway Union to a 0-0 draw.
In the second game, we introduced Claire Mcgarry, Emer O'Doherty, Roisín Tracey and Aoife Mahon. They brought fresh legs to the game, resulting in a fantastic goal being scored by Claire Mcgarry. With all players contributing to a magnificent defensive performance, and with their passing and movement in attack, they ran out 1-0 winners. This was a magnificent result against one of the top clubs in the country.
For the final twenty minute game, coach Alan Smith, assisted by Eamon Sweeney and David Mahon, it was decided to mix up both teams and play a friendly game for the final twenty minutes.
The day was a great success for the u14's who are looking forward to having plenty of games in the months to come. And one final word of thanks to our team mascot and water boy, Brian Smith who kept all the team hydrated during the day
