Another win for Banbridge Seconds in league

Phoenix unable to score any goals in the second quarter allowed Banbridge to make changes at half time. Banbridge confidence grew resulting in a very fast game with outstanding shooting from both shooters. Final score: Banbridge 33–10 Phoenix

Team: GS Mona Lewis, GA Lisa Docherty, WA Mary Weir, C Claire McCullough, WD Elaine Henry, GD Amanda Johnston, GK Christine Cartmill, Leanne Burns, Kate Farson, Niamh McNally

After a nervous start from the shooters Banbridge led the first half by 16 goals. At half time Banbridge made a few changes allowing some of the younger players to take the court. After a slow start Banbridge continued to stretch their lead and final whistle saw Banbridge win by 23 goals. Banbridge 38–15 Antrim
