Queens Ladies 1st XI 1
Greenisland Ladies 1st XI 1
Sat 20th September 2008
Greenisland 1st XI, sponsored by 3fivetwo Healthcare, came to face their
third opponents of the Winemark Shield competition, playing the Senior 1 side
Queens University. The team went out with a point to prove following two defeats
and were determined to get a positive result knowing that the opposition were
in the same league. The match began with a Greenisland pass back in the hot
sunshine and quickly Queens made a break scoring the first goal of the match
from a penalty corner. This was a wake up call to Greenisland who then upped
the pace of their game leading to several attacks of the Queens circle. Greenisland
were unfortunate not to be level at the break after winning many attacking
corners and being denied two goals.
After an encouraging talk from coach Mark Webber the second half began with
a bang and the Greenisland team won an attacking penalty corner which was
nicely slotted away by the brute force of Erin McMaw. The match itself was
very even with similar statistics of attacking and defending corners and possession.
However neither team could manage to score again leaving the final score at
one each. This is an encouraging result for the Greenisland 1st XI for the
season ahead.
Greenisland 1st XI Squad – R Hewitt, R Creaney, C McManus, A MaCorquodale,
L Archibald, N Cairns, J Winning, C McCracken, G Kane, CA Bennett, E McMaw,
R Johnston, G Cathcart, N Deering.
