A decisive 6-1 victory over understrength St Catherines team

St Catherines lined out 2 players short for their match against Castleknock. However, the St Catherines players who did show up gave a great performance and it was clear why they were top of the league from the fixtures before Christmas.

Casteknock played with the wind in the first half and they started strongly. The match was only one minute old when Emma opened the scoring with a well taken score. Both Ellie and Holly came close to scoring before Aoibheann stretched the lead to 2-0 after 10 minutes. Two minutes later player-of-the-match Emma crossed the ball into Ellie who made the score 3-0.

Castleknock continued to attack strongly for the rest of the half, but the St Catherine's pulled off a number of dramatic saves and the score stayed at 3-0 when the half-time whistle blew. However, the 2nd half was only a few minutes underway when Aoibheann dribbled the length of the picth and scored a beautiful goal to stretch the lead to 4-0.

St Catherines tried hard to narrow the lead, but Niamh made a number of good saves and after 16 minutes it was Ellie who scored her second goal to strecth the Castleknock lead to 5-0. As the match was nearly over, St Catherines finally scored a goal. The match was not yet over however and Leah got a goal just before the final whistle to leave the score at 6-1.
