Match Report   

Ladies Soccer Poll

In a thrilling, sporting and earnestly contested semi-final, played at a blistering pace,  Leixlip United Girls managed to hold on to a one goal lead for most of the second half thanks in no small way to a well drilled team effort and brilliant safe goal-keeping.  This victory epitomized the importance of an overall team effort.

Leixlip took an early lead in the first half with a very well taken goal.  After sustained pressure Peamount equalised just before half time.  

Again, early in the second half Leixlip took the initiative and scored a second quality goal.  Peamount came back very strongly and their forays kept the Leixlip defence under pressure resulting in some brilliant saves by the Leixlip goalkeeper.  Peamount did find the net once but unfortunately from an offside position.  Leixlip were dangerous on the break and could have gone further ahead on at least two occasions.

The setting in Newcastle for this semi-final was ideal.  Both teams were well turned out and disciplined.  The pitch was in excellent condition and the evening was dry and sunny.  Fair and faultless officials supervised the match.  The Referee and his sideline officials are to be commended.  The ground staffs in Newcastle can certainly be proud of their efforts.  

The team Managers, their official's and supporters are a great credit to their respective areas.  For taking the time and the interest to help foster develop and maintain such an excellent, interesting, character-building and beneficial sporting ideals, they deserve the highest credit.  This is certainly an area that should receive more financial support.
