THREE IN A ROW FOR THE UNDER 16 GIRLS

Ballymartin 0-8 Saval 6-7

Last Sunday made the long journey to undefeated Ballymartin and came away with another 2 league points.
It was a game which Saval dominated throughout and got off to a great start with a Lorraine Havern goal. Midfielder Viki Lennon quickly added another. Further goals from Claudia Cole, Niamh Millar and Lorraine Havern again put Saval in the comfort zone. Our Down Under 14 star Niamh Millar finished the first half scoring spree with two classy long range points to leave Saval with a half time lead of 5-4 to 0-3.
The second half saw Saval squander many scoring chances much due to the brilliance of the Ballymartin keeper. Natashya Lennon and Ashleen McEvoy added minor scores to Saval total. The highlight of the second half was a well taken goal by Karen Convery who worked hard throughout. All 5 subs were given a decent run out in the second half.
Overall the team put in a solid performance however a special mention has to go to defence where Christine, Brenda, Grace, Laura, Rachel, Susan and Claudia were just brilliant.
This Under 16 side is a class act .The girls are working well in training, team spirit is good and the attitude is right.
On Sunday the girls will meet a vastly improved Newry Shamrocks side at Nan Sands Park which will be Saval’s first home game since August 2003.
