Giles Cup Mary I Ladies


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.
