An under-strength 5th team travelled to Antrim Forum to play Randalstown 5th XI on Saturday. With only 10 players and no goal-keeper, the Greenisland team showed determination to nevertheless fulfil the game rather than scratch the fixture.
Rhonda Ross bravely stepped into the keeper kit and was immediately put under pressure by the Randalstown attack. The defence worked well with some superb clearances from Laura Cole finding Greenisland’s forwards. At half-time the score was 3-0 to Randalstown.
The opposition had a full-strength team as well as reserve players, and in the second half, tired legs in Greenisland’s midfield found the pace of the game overwhelming. Player of the Match, Rhonda Ross, saved many a shot on goal and but for her efforts the 10-0 scoreline could have been much worse for Greenisland.
Team: Laura Cole, Laura Cowan, Jan Doherty, Olivia Field, Laura Johnston,
Tinita Nolan (Capt), Jeanna Robb, Rhonda Ross, Rachael Spencely and Barbra
Webber.
