Barry and Allen in fine form as Ashton edge out Bandon

Hockey

Ashton had Michelle Barry and Rebecca Allen to thank for a dramatic first Munster U21 Club Championships victory at Garryduff yesterday. In a tight final against Bandon, the duo produced vital interventions to secure a 1-0 victory.

Barry scored a cracker of a solo goal en route to a deserved award as tournament MVP, while Allen made a miraculous goal-line clearance with the game’s last play, the final whistle sounding as she scrambled the ball to safety.
