Lakewood Athletic 4 – 1 Lakewood Rangers, CWSSL Senior League.
A well contested game with high quality football from both teams. Laura Coughlan’s hat-trick was the difference on the scoreboard. A tight affair in the first half, athletic lead by 1-0 at half time. The Rangers team worked hard throughout the game and made it very difficult to create clear cut chances. As the heat took it’s toll, Coughlan adding 2 more mid way in the second half before Aoife Kelliher strike from distance sealed the win.
Zoe O’Rourke pulled one back for the Rangers team with a beautiful dipping strike from outside the box before full time.
It is the first time in the Cork Women’s league that a Senior club has entered 2 teams. Through entering the second team, the club has welcomed back players who had taken a break from football, given an opportunity for underage players to continue playing in the senior league and also welcome players who are taking up competitive football for the first time.
