It was 2C on a cold clear Saturday evening for the 4.15pm push back for the All Ireland League Fixture between Pegasus and Corinthian from south Dublin. This was a must win game for both teams with Corinthian languishing in bottom and Pegasus, one place above them.

In a goalless 1st quarter both teams were tentative, sounding each other out. Final passes went astray, and few chances were created.

In the 2nd quarter Pegasus played more confidently creating chances. Eventually Pegasus broke the deadlock, after forcing a penalty stroke from Corinthian. Shirley McCay sent the ball into the roof of the net for a 1-0 lead after 22 minutes. Despite both sides creating chances there was no further scoring, and Pegasus led 1-0 at halftime . . .
