The North Down U15 girls performance squad travelled to Dromore on Sunday for the next round of the Plate. \u00a0It was great to actually get a game in with so many games in Northern Ireland being cancelled due to frozen pitches over the weekend.<\/p>\n

North Down started dominantly with Sophie Hoey attacking strongly down the right and crossing lovely balls into the circle. Unfortunately North Down despite having lots of pressure could not find the back of the net. \u00a0Kate McConnell, Kenzi Fisher and Leah Drysdale made strong runs supporting the attack. \u00a0Emma Cochrane, Neve Armstrong and Cara Murray had many attempts on target and were so unlucky not to score. Their keeper was forced into making numerous saves.\u00a0 At the back our girls were unusually shaky to begin with, the high press from Dromore causing them difficultly. They dug deep, found their rhythm and the half time score was 0-0 with North Down looking the stronger side.<\/p>\n

The second half saw the defence settle and more attacks from the frontline but despite this Dromore managed to nick a scrappy goal early in the half to leave North Down chasing for the remainder of the game. Goalie Hannah Cunningham made some very important clearances and kept a cool head.\u00a0\u00a0 Great play from Connie Magee and Tilly Neild, supported well by Charlotte Walker and Sarah Taylor, kept the ball moving forward. A lovely break from Katie Migan narrowly missed the target and a shot from Emma Cochrane just inched wide in the final minutes.
\nNorth Down were so unlucky not to equalise.<\/p>\n

The final score was 1-0 to Dromore in a match that could have gone either way. Better luck next time girls your team spirit and determination will result in a top result soon!<\/p>\n

PMB Player of the Match: Sophie Hoey<\/p>\n
