The girls played their second leinster junior school girls league match at UCD in the local derby against Our Lady of Mercy. It was always going to be a difficult match against a school with 4 times the amount of 5th &6th girls playing hockey than BNS and conceding a goal in the second minute made the task at hand even more difficult.

OLM were dominant throughout despite valiant efforts from Zoe Gilchrist and Chloe Hiles who were resolute and it was only at 4-0 early in the second half when they took off their main player the match was much more even and after that Booterstown won 1-0 with Zoe scoring the goal after an assist from Alice Postma, Katie Hiles had a goal disallowed for being just outside the circle and we had several other chances to close the gap, the match ended at 4-1.

The girls have now played the two strongest teams in the division who are both three wins out of three and next match is Friday 13th 3pm start at Railway Union against Sandford Parish so hopefully Friday 13th brings us some good luck!
