CHC Ladies 1sts make winning start to EYHL2 Campaign

The CHC Ladies 1st had a 3-2 win today at home against Cork C of I in their opening match of the EYHL2 campaign.

In an even first quarter CHC created the better chances with shots on goal by both Lynne Pomeroy and Jodie Douglas. The first goal came in the 13th minute and was scored by Lauren McGrane.

C of I made a better start to the second quarter, piling on a lot of pressure which resulted in an equaliser in the 32nd minute by Abi O’Mahony. Corinthians responded with a period of good play resulting in a short corner which unfortunately they were unable to convert

C of I took the lead at the start of the second half with a goal by Amy Roberts in the 39th minute. Corinthians then stepped up the tempo with persistent play by Jodie and Lynne forcing a goal-line clearance. They were rewarded for this period of pressure when Jessica McGrane scored a great individual goal to leave the teams level at the end of the 3rd quarter.

The final quarter saw Corinthians continue to dominate and they were rewarded for their efforts when Lauren McGrane tapped in the 3rd goal in the 64th minute. following a strong drive by Millie Lynch down the left and across the baseline. The remaining 6 minutes were tense but CHC managed to hold on for the win.

Thanks to all for the great support. See you all next week for Irish Senior Cup SF against Pegasus on Saturday at 3pm.
