Con Magees Glenravel 2-7 St Teresa’s 0-0 (half-time)
Antrim LGFA Junior B Championship at Fr Maginn Park
Con Magees Glenravel produced an impressive display to record a comfortable Junior B Championship victory over St Teresa’s at Fr Maginn Park.
Fielding a youthful side, Glenravel controlled the contest from the opening whistle and established a commanding 2-7 to 0-0 advantage by half-time.
Aoibhin McKenna and Clíodhna McBride opened the scoring before Cara McKay landed two excellent points. McKenna added another before finishing a flowing move, involving Amber Anderson, with a well-taken goal.
Dervla Donaghy also got forward to score, while Caoimhe Higgins completed Glenravel’s first-half tally with a fine point following good work by Moya Mulholland and McKay. St Teresa’s battled hard throughout the half, with their goalkeeper making an excellent save and number nine unfortunate to see an effort drift wide.
Glenravel continued strongly after the restart, with McKenna adding a point before Moya Mulholland found the net. Ashley Anderson, Georgie Twigg, Erin Coulter, Amber Anderson and McKay were also among the second-half scorers as the home side maintained control.
To their credit, St Teresa’s never allowed their heads to drop. Orlagh McMenamin opened their account with a point and went on to register an excellent personal return of 1-2, providing deserved reward for the visitors’ determined second-half performance.
It was Glenravel’s night, however, with their energetic young team producing an assured display and a convincing championship victory.
