DCU 3-06
MIC 4-6
After a pulsating quarter final, the away side (MIC)
have qualified for the Giles Cup semifinal.
MIC took control of the game right from the opening
whistle with their opening point of the game through full forward Emma Dineen. The
away then took complete control of the game with two quick fire with goals
these coming from Grainne Regan and Aisling Healy to extend there first half
lead. DCU hit a point in reply before Brid Ryan responded in kind for the away
side. With the game edging to the half time whistle DCU fired in a late goal to
narrow the gap even further.
The 2nd half was a much tenser affair with
both defences coming out on top in the opening phases of play. Despite defences been on top MIC hit points from Aoife
Murray, Eimear Kiely, Aisling Healy and Kate Leneghan, before a late rally from
DCU, which levelled the game before DCU were awarded a late penalty which gave
them a very late 3-point lead. This didn’t phase the MIC girls who managed to
keep their heads with Leneghan burying a goal from a tight angle before Laura
Cleary gathered the ball after a fine flowing move and fired the ball into the
net to end the game with MIC leading by 3 at the final whistle
The girls will play the semi-final which will be in
the Kerry GAA Centre of Excellence on Friday March 13th V TUD or MU.
