Under 14 Girls

League Game - Sunday 20 May Saval 5-7 Teconnaught 0-5

The girls got their first win of the season with a fine victory over East Down side Teconnaught.

Saval were in control from start to finish with early goals from Rachel O’Hare, Maeve Mullen and Eimear Digney.

The second half was much the same with Annie Havern adding 2 goals.

This was a good performance by the young Saval side with 10 out of the panel of 20 all playing Under 12 football.

Dearbhlagh O’Hare was excellent goals, the defenders Rachel McNally, Emma Walsh, Niamh Turley, Gemma Cull, Adele Travers and Raychel McEvoy were superb, and the midfielders of Maeve Mullen and Catherine Bannon were just great. The young guns up front of Colleen Lennon, Lynette Dodds, Orlagh McLogan, Eimear Digney Annie Havern and left footer Rachel O’Hare all played well, also not forgetting the young players who came on Aishling Wylie, Ruth Havern, Marie Clare McNally and Leah Clare Lennon.

Senior Girls

League – Saturday 19 May – Downpatrick 3-11   Saval 6-4

Saval travelled to Downpatrick in confident mood following their fantastic win over Castlewellan the previous week. The team was much changed with Niamh Lennon stateside and Michele Fearon and Emma Madine on the Tour of Down. This meant that starting places for Anna Madine, Natashya Lennon and Lorraine Havern all members of the Under 16 team.

The first half Saval were slow to settle with Downpatrick racing into a two goal lead, points from Catherine McConville and  our Under 16 captain Niamh Millar kept Saval in contention . Downpatrick rarely missed a scoring opportunity whilst Saval was guilty of numerous misses. Two late goals from Natashya and a point from Niamh Millar left just 4 points between the sides at the interval. Half Time score: Downpatrick 2-7 Saval 2-3

The second half was a mirror image of the first with Downpatrick taking their scores which included a goal and Saval not. Catherine McConville hit a great goal to keep Saval in touch .Going into the last quarter Saval were behind and it looked like it was going to be a home victory. Quick thinking and a quick free-kick by Natashya Lennon rocketed to the back of the Downpatrick net. Saval was back in the game and the onslaught of the Downpatrick defence begun. A point by Natashya meant that Saval were just one behind, chance after chance was cleared by the home side until finally Natashya once again got through and she made no mistake burying the ball to the net, less than a minute later the referee blew the whistle Saval had won by two points. This was a gutsy performance and all credit to the team for their never say die attitude. Notably performers were Joanne Lively at full back; Lynsey Cunningham at midfield had a great “50” minutes and one of her best games in the Saval jersey.

 Catherine Digney and Lorraine Havern were livewires up front and caused havoc when in possession, and the experience of Catherine McConville in the forward line was an asset however it was Natashya Lennon who put in a five star performance and was the best player on view.
