Prior continued to move the ball well and more goals followed, from Emma Allen, Jill Kennedy and Hannah Walker, leaving it 4-0 to Prior at half-time.

Limavady stepped up a gear in the second half, and played some good hockey but not enough to trouble goalkeeper Alice O’Neill who didn’t have to make a save.

Two more goals followed in the second half from Annette Wilson and Jill Kennedy to seal the victory and ensure Priorians got off to a great start to the season.

The well-deserved player of the match was Nicola Lowrey.

Priorians: Alice O’Neill, Coral Lapsley, Rhonda Curry, Kristel Brown, Nicola Lowrey, Bronagh Doherty, Annette Wilson, Rachael McSparron, Jill Kennedy, Emma Allen (C), Michelle Riddles, Hannah Walker, Hannah McCollum, Demi Harper, Karen Fryer, Rebekah Ferry.
