A big thank you to all the home support and coaches William, DD and Beth for organising and supporting from the sidelines.

Meanwhile the Thirds made the long journey to Ballynahinch.

Coleraine started strongly with Aurora, Ellie and Anna all going close.

Ballynahinch hit back with a breakaway attack and managed to be awarded a penalty corner. The corner was taken quickly and Ursula did manage to get a great tackle in at the edge of the circle, however the ball was hit with some force that it shot into the air and managed to clear every defender and sneak into the top of the net.

Into the second half and Coleraine continued to take the game to their opponents and it paid off as Rachael scored what turned out to be the winner.
