Greenisland Ladies 1st XI 0
Knock Ladies 1st XI 4
Wed 17th September 2008
Greenisland 1st XI, sponsored by 3fivetwo Healthcare, played their second
match of the Winemark Shield facing the Premier team Knock. The match was
played at Shawsbridge on a newly built waterbase astroturf. The Greenisland
team knew it would be a very tough and competitive match and would be going
in as the underdogs. The match began at a very high pace, however the game
itself was very open.
Greenisland soon adapted to the unfamiliar water surface with super hitting
from Audrey MaCorquodale and Ruth Creaney relieving the pressure for the defence.
Knock's Julie Doake managed to control the game with her skill and ball distribution
leading to her scoring three of Knock's four goals. However Greenisland where
denied a penalty flick after a drag flick from Nikki Cairns was stopped on
the line by a defender's foot. Final score Greenisland 0 Knock 4.
Greenisland 1st XI Squad – R Hewitt, R Creaney, A MaCorquodale, L Archibald,
N Cairns, J Winning, C McCracken, G Kane, D Montgomery, CA Bennett, E McMaw,
