Fermanagh 5-7 Antrim 5-16

Antrim U16s came out on top in a high scoring game at Roslea. The Saffs started well and an opening blitz of scores including a stunning 2-3 from a resurgent Lisa Wilson setting them on their way. 

At the other end a determined and improving Erne ladies put over a number of well taken points kept the game interesting. Benefitting from two opportunist goals tightened the game at the half. 2-7 to 4-8 in the Saffs favour. 

The second have continued to flow and the home side continued to battle scoring 3 goals spread across the half. 

Antrim were always in control and continued to score from flowing moves. Anna McGarry added to her 2 first half goals with an exceptional individual point. Emer O’Connor scored Antrim’s final goal while Aoibhean Monaghan slotted over a few late frees.
