On Saturday 13th February Greenisland 1st XI took on Grosvenor in their first league game of 2010. Greenisland started slowly with a few errors in their initial passing game. Grosvenor did not capitalise during this time and Greenisland gradually edged their way into the game. As the pressure started to build on the Grosvenor defence Greenisland were awarded a penalty corner. From the push out Jenny Henry drag flicked the ball into the top left hand corner to give Greenisland the lead.
The game then became quite stale and as time came to 34 minutes of the 1st half Grosvenor were awarded a penalty corner. Superb closing down from the push out by Naomi Deering prevented any Grosvenor shot and half time was reached with Greenisland leading.
A few words at half time and Greenisland came out storming. Nikki Cairns was distributing the ball exquisitely and opened up the Grosvenor defence on several occasions but could not score. Eventually Nikki drove into the circle and hit a powerful shot that crashed into the back board giving Greenisland a 2-0 lead.
Grosvenor then had a short period of attack but the Greenisland defence held firm. Eventually Greenisland broke out and swift passing down the pitch allowed Erin McMaw to slot in the third goal from the left side of the circle. Good defending by the back four insured a clean sheet for Greenisland and as the final whistle arrived, Greenisland came out winners.
