Seneschalstown 4-5   Skryne 2-10

Seneschalstown made it three wins from three when the narrowly defeated Skryne at Fr Tully Park.

This was the proverbial game of two halves as Seneschalstown dominated the first half and had to withstand and great comeback by the visitors in the second half to hold on for a one point win.

The opening exchanges were tight and competitive and both teams squandered good scoring chances.  The first score arrived on nine minutes for the home team when Kelly Smith showed her soccer skills to score the opening goal.  Skryne responded with a point on eleven minutes. The Furze girls went on a scoring spree over the next six minutes with goals from Sinead McLarney on twelve and fourteen minutes and points from Smith, Leanne Clarke (2) and McLarney.  Skryne did respond with a goal in the sixteenth minute and also tagged on two further points before the break.  However Smith scored her second goal just before the break to give the home team a 4-04 to 1-03 halftime lead.

The early exchanges of the second half were tight but slowly Skryne began to get the upper hand and cut the deficit down to three points.  Aoibhe Monaghan relieved the home teams anxiety a little with a point from play but the Skryne girls kept the coming.  Three further points from Skryne and some resolute defending resulted in the home team holding on to keep their 100% start to the league campaign intact.
