AIL 2N: Cavan 5 Carrickfergus 0

by

, , ,

A controversial try gave Cavan the edge in this bottom of the table clash against a gritty Carrickfergus on Sunday afternoon with the home side winning by 5 – 0.

Carrick were determined to put up a good showing after their large defeat last weekend against Navan and they started strongly making several excursions into the Cavan half with Suzie Cavan and Hilary Cawood prominent.

The Co. Antrim side came close on several occasion but the Cavan defence were able to hold their line and eventually the home side worked their way into the game with No 8 Brigid Reynolds making several bruising runs.

Thanks to strong defence from both sides an entertaining first half ended scoreless.

Cavan started the second half  well and soon had the visitors defending their own line but again defence dominated with Carrick making crucial turnovers and the seasiders  were able to work their way clear.

The home side continued . . .

    Hi Veronica,

    Hope your shoulder heals quickly for you, I broke a bone in my hand during the match and I’m now in a cast 🙁

    Like you said it was a great match, I really enjoyed my time on the pitch as did the rest of carrick ladies. Hopefully we’ll get to play against you again.

    As Veronica stated above, we have a fantastic team for this, our 2nd, season and have improved dramatically since our 1 year in developmental.

    All the best to Carrickfergus, they were a nice bunch of girls to play.

    i was one of the cavan players in sundays game and i must say the injury i got dislocated shoulder was well worth it. our cavan girls are fantastic players and carrickfergus gave us a run for our win but we pulled it off. our new ouhalf Anna Coyle done us really proud first time in that position and lucky for us she enjoyed it and is staying as our out half. i wish carrick and all others teams best of luck with their games and i hope to meet ye
