Eglantine too hot for Beaumont in replay

NO mistake this time by the girls from Scoil Bhríde, Eglantine NS, who powered to victory over Beaumont NS in this Roinn GS Urban final replay at Páirc Uí Rinn yesterday to end the Allianz Sciath na Scol football programme.

Boosted by a sixth minute goal from Catriona Landers — her side’s top scorer with Lisa Smith — Eglantine held all the aces, especially when Beaumont lost Laura Wyse through injury.

With Kelly Diggin excellent in defence and Ellen Hayes a towering figure at midfield, Eglantine led 1-5 to 0-0 at the break and were well on their way.

A fortuitous second-half goal from Sarah Deasy, after a fine run, cemented their victory and with Rebecca Coughlan and Catriona Landers excellent up front they remained in control.

Sophie Varian and Katie Waterman were superb for Beaumont but it was not their day .
