Senior Ladies
On Saturday evening our Senior Ladies travelled to Coalisland to take on Coalisland in round 7 of the league. Galbally’s tight defensive line as per previous games contributed greatly to both halves. Up front Maeve McGlinchey and Eimear Tally scoring 3 points each, with Claire McKeown getting the last of the first half scores. The first half was a tight affair with Coalisland scoring a late goal to make it a draw 1-4 til Galbally’s 0-7
Half time : Galbally 0-7 Coalisland 1-4
The Second Half was to be Galbally’s as it continues to be the most effective periods in our games and was to be a repeat performance of that as the defence continue their impeccable play conceding 0-3 in 2nd half. Though the forwards made up for wasted chances in first half with a first attack of the second half by Justina Mulgrew which wasn’t to be her last, contributing to a second 10mins from time with Galbally’s both goals. Eimear Tally was to get the only point in the second half for the Pearse’s to complete the night! A great team performance, as the Pearse’s ladies continue their unbeaten record.
Final Score:- Galbally Pearse’s 2-8 Coalisland Fianna 1-8
