GIRLS UNDER 12 LEAGUE: STRAND CELTIC 5 CALRY BOHS 0
Kevinsfort.
Both Katie & Ellen Monaghan score twice in final league game of the season. Goals also from Carla Kivlehan, Ellie McCole & Claire Hanney give Strand U12's a five goal victory to end season on a winning note.
A little disappointed not to have finished in the top four of the league Strand Celtic U12 girls gave a great performance to end the season on a winning note. Strand opponents this evening were Calry and they proved they were no push over even though it is their first year in the league. Strand's players were tremendous from the very start and were one goal up in the first 5 minutes when Carla Kivlehan got onto the end of a cross from Katie Monaghan to put the ball in the back of the net. The score remained at 1 - 0 until half time and this was due in part to the great Calry defence.
Strand Celtic started the second half the same as the first with an early goal from Ellie McCole. Strand kept the pressure on and were rewarded when Katie Monaghan got the third goal. Strand made several changes and now with Katie Osborne and Ellen Monaghan at centre forward the Calry defenders had a battle on their hands. Ellen added a fourth goal and this was followed by a fifth by a ever hard working Claire Hanney.
This was a great performance by the whole team and it showed how much the girls have improved over the season.
