Div2 U16 Cuala v Lucan Sarsfields

  • Apr 07,2008

The first outing of the revamped Cuala U16 side under Stephen McGovern and his team took to the field in Meadowvale on a windy Sunday. To say that it was windy is putting it mildly - the gale rushed down the pitch from the north. And that helped Cuala in the first half as the Lucan girls struggled to get the ball up the pitch. But the opening score in the first 3 minutes was a goal to Lucan, struck home as the Cuala girls were getting a feel for the game. . After that the ball seldom came keeper Sally Kiernans way but when it did Lucan made a very good effort but were denied by Cliodhna Gillen and Aisling McGoverns solid defense.

Round two was a battle against a very strong Lucan side..... and the wind! Again the defense stood its ground and the Lucan girls threw everything they had at the Tennis Club End.

But the gains of the first half were too much for the Lucan girls to overcome and Cuala came out the winners 4-5 to 2-8.
