It was a lovely clear winters day for the start of the cup campaign. The girls were keen to see some action after a long series of postponed matches due to the poor weather.
The match was only underway for a few moments when Emma Boyle got the game off to a flying start with a well taken goal. Castleknock continued to put pressure on the Maynooth goal and Niamh O'Donovan had three shots saved in quick succession. Maynooth made occasional attampts to counter attack, but our captain Lucy Hanlon had the defense well under control.
However, we didn't have to wait too long before Ciara Brady stretched the lead to 2-0. We continued to dominate the game, but it was not until just before half time when Sara Brady clinched the game with a third goal.
As the second half got underway, Castleknock continued to pile on the pressure. The Maynooth keeper managed to get a hand to a strong corss shot from Emma Boyle but Ciara Brady was on hand to tap it in. Sara Brady was forced to come off with a bleeding nose and shortly afterwards, Niamh O'Donovan scored with a scorcher of a shot from the edge of the box. As the match progressed, Castleknock began to dominate even more and Emma Boyle got two more goals to make the socred 7-0 and to earn the person-of-the-match title.
