Greencastle Ladies 2     Carndonagh Ladies  0 Greencastle dragged themselves back into the league race with a good battling team performance against Carn at chapel lane. 
They opened the scoring after seven minutes when good work down the left by Annette Mc Laughlin set up Danielle Logue and her pass was picked up by Karen Henry who moved it on to Shona Kelly. She stepped pass the defender and fired in a rocket from 20 yards to the top corner giving Adele Mc Elroy in the Carn goal no chance. Carn prompted by Anita Doherty came back into the game but the Greencastle defence, well marshalled by Geraldine Harkin and Danielle Barr, were giving nothing away. Greencastle went two up after 33 minutes when Shauna Mc Laughlin won a tackle in the middle of the field. She fed Loirin Melarky and her through ball put Karen Henry clear of the Carn defence. She steadied herself and fired low to the bottom corner from ten yards.Carn pinned Greencastle back at the start of the second half forcing a couple of corners which the Greencastle defence cleared. Anita Doherty’s cross from the left struck the post and was cleared. Greencastle were still dangerous on the break with Henry’s pace causing hasty from the Carn defence. Carn’s top scorer Zoe Doherty was being well shackled by Niamh Hannon and Catriona Cavanagh was giving nothing away at left back. Carn were being forced into playing long balls that were being over hit. They upped the pressure with ten minutes left and Evelyn Dougal had to get down well to save a header from Anita Doherty from Trasa Doherty’s cross. Carn made three changes but Greencastle’s pressure on the ball and sheer work rate was leaving them with no options.Carn did not give up easy but Greencastle defended well and seen the game out for a deserved victory on the night. This was a great team performance for this young Greencastle side in a game they could not afford to lose. If they can approach the rest of the games with the same attitude they stand a good chance of being in the final shake up for the league
