The final round of the U16 girls’ group games proved to be a tough encounter against our neighbours, AVS Donegal, on their new pitch facilities.
CCBS got off to a great start, with Lucie McGrath driving the ball between the posts and putting us in front. AVS took a little time to settle into the game, but once they did, they found their rhythm and kicked some lovely scores from play. Jenna Britton, Emily Gallagher and Tiah Kane kept Coláiste Cholmcille in front, going in at half-time with a two-point lead.
AVS came out determined to push ahead and started the second half with a well-taken goal. The Coláiste Cholmcille back line of Ella McGoldrick, Katie Lipsett and Kate McGrath worked hard to limit AVS’s scoring opportunities.
With 15 minutes remaining, AVS had moved four points ahead. CCBS needed to regroup and find another gear. Jenna Britton stepped up with her accurate left foot, scoring three points in a row from play – exactly what the girls needed! Emily Gallagher, Lexi Mai Roper and Leah O’Malley also added a point each before Katie Ferguson sealed the victory with a well-taken goal.
A fantastic game of skill, determination and excitement! Final score
1:12 to 1:8
