Bunratty U16 Girls v Corofin
U16 girls put in a huge effort against a very tough Corofin side. The girls started strongly with Ella Woods looking sharp ahead of an industrious midfield of Kate Jones, Meia Carroll, Kate Kennedy and Ailish O'Grady.
The girls had their fair share of possession but could not create dangerous opportunities. Unfortunately, Corofin asserted themselves quickly and scored after 100 mins. A clever throughball splitting the defence, forcing Emma Jones into a fantastic save, but a Corofin player was on hand to finish the rebound.
Corofin kept the pressure up, heavily targeting the flanks forcing full backs Anna McMahon and Cara Power to put in a serious effort to hold their own. Unfortunately, the pressure eventually told and Corofin scored two quick goals. The girls kept their heads up and got some reward for their efforts when super work from Kate Kennedy and Ella Woods set up Ailish O'Grady to fire home from the middle of the box before half time.
A renewed intensity in the second half from Bunratty forced a couple of chances, notably with Muireann Early hitting the post from distance. Unfortunately, with legs tiring, Corofin wrested control of the game back and extended their lead further.
