Irish Hockey Challenge: Bangor (3) 6 Kilkeel (3) 5 AR Women’s Final

I caught up with the Irish Hockey Women’s Challenge Final between Bangor and Kilkeel at Comber Road on a sunny Saturday morning.

Bangor started brightly and had the better of the first quarter. They were able to capitalise on their possession with a 15th minute goal from Hannah Lawden, who turned in a Brooke Stranaghan shot, to give Bangor a 1 – 0 lead which they took into the second quarter.

Kilkeel came more into the game but Bangor continued to make chances and they extended their lead to 2 – 0 after a sharp backstick shot from the edge of the D by Ruby Monaghan on the 28th minute.
