A brace from Abbie McHenry and a goal from Holly Otter were enough to secure the three points.

Carnmoney Girls’ manager Steven Lowry said: “Our girls were super today, not just in the U13 section, but in all the groups we are competing in. The Concentrix Small Sided Leagues are a great opportunity for our players to have fun and enjoyment in a well-structured learning environment and we are extremely grateful to the IFA and NIWFA for delivering such a well organised league.”
