Bray opened well with an unanswered goal and two points all from
Siofra Heffernan, but Roundwood fought back to stay in touch and
managed to exploit the space afforded by a 10 a side game on a
full-size pitch to grab two goals late in the first half to
go in at the break with their noses just in front, 2-7 to 2-6.
Bray came out fighting after half-time, however, and racked up
the scores. Sorcha Crimmins was particularly lethal, scoring three
goals and two points and Siofra Heffernan added to her tally.
Orlaith Whelan put the ball in the net after a long dribbling run
that would have pleased Giovanni Trappatoni, whilst Danika Goulding
soloed most of the pitch from a kick-out to put the ball past the
Roundwood goalkeeper. Jennifer Ryan, falling back to a more
defensive role, played a leading part in blocking the Roundwood
counter-attacks while Emily Richardson was outstanding in
midfield.
