Greenfields 1sts 2 – 1 Galway 1sts
Greenfields had a shaky start, making several errors, which resulted in Galway hitting the back-board after 10 minutes. With five minutes to half-time in this fiercely competitive match, Galway were reduced to ten players, & it seemed like Greenfields might capitalise on this advantage, but with the score remaining one-nil at half-time, Greenfields badly needed to regroup.
After an inspirational half-time talk from Coaches Bryan Madden & Paul McGettigan, Greenfields came out very strong from the whistle. Five minutes into the 2nd half, Mary Healy scored for Greenfields, putting them back in the game again. The squad dug deep & piled on the pressure, which was rewarded with another goal by Mary Healy, five minutes from the end.
There were ecstatic scenes on the side-line when the full-time whistle blew – with Greenfields winning 2-1. Manager Imelda Brennan praised the squad for turning their play around, giving them the victory.
