Women: AIL Week 4 Catch Up

There was only one game this weekend, and that was a catch up game for a previously arranged fixture between Enniskillen and Garda in AIL 2N

On a surprisingly sunny Saturday afternoon, Enniskillen took home the win 17 – 15 in a close match against Garda. The Enniskillen scores came from Etna Flanagan (2), and Paula Cadden with Ashling Maguire adding the all important conversion.

The first half defense on both sides created a hard wall to break through, keeping the game between the 22s. It was around the 25 minute mark when Garda scored the first try taking the lead 5 – 0. Enniskillen hit back with a trademark run from Flanagan who weaved her way through to score between the posts. Maguire converted and Enniskillen took the lead 7 – 5, the score remaining unchanged until the break.

It must have been the cloud cover which hovered over the pitch that brought some more energy to the second half. Enniskillen held most possession during the second 40, but both . . .
