Money seal strong win over Queens

In the first 10 minutes Queens had the upper hand having settled quicker than Money but could not gain any advantage from their quick break out opportunities.

In the tenth minute Ballymoney broke quickly down the right and a great ball across the circle found Emma Lynch who coolly slotted the ball home.

Queens replied two mintues later but a short corner was well saved by keeper Jenna Holmes.

In the 24th minute B’money score their second goal.

A short corner was moved left to Julie Nelson who swept the ball to Nikki Parke on the right hand post which she deflected to score.

Two minutes into the second half Jess Lynch broke down the right wing and crossed to sister Emma who drew the defence before releasing to Aine Kearney who finished off for a third goal.

By now Money were well on top and after 21 minutes Nikki Parke scored her second and Money’s fourth goal.

The Queens keeper initially saved well but Nikki then confidently flicked the free ball high into the top left hand corner. Money defended strongly for the remainder of the second half and a 4-0 result does not reflect the effort from the young Queens team which included former Ballymoney player Julie Allison.

A good all-round performance from the team which augurs well for the visit of Armagh next week in IHL.

Thank you to the good turnout of supporters as this tremendously encourages the team. So see you next week at 2.30pm for what promises to be a top class game.

The seconds match is yet to be confirmed and the thirds head to Ballymena.
