Leinster made a positive start to proceedings with an opening day victory over a hard working Connacht side.
It was even going for much of the first half but a superb goal from St. Leo’s College starlet Ciara MILTON ensured a slight advantage at the break.
Leinster doubled their tally through a 30 yard free-kick from St. Wolstan’s CS student Alice BUGGLE that deceived the Connacht defence to bounce into the back of the net.
Connacht were unlucky not to get one back through Ava Hallinan (Jesus & Mary SS, Enniscrone) as her strike hit the side-netting with five minutes remaining.
In the other game of the evening, reigning Champions Munster enjoyed a convincing win over Ulster. Molly KIRWAN of Presentation SS, Thurles struck a brace inside the first half while Madison McGUANE added a third before the break.
Paddy McDaid’s Ulster side conceded a fourth eight minutes into the restart which was a sucker punch to their endeavours to get back into proceedings.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Former Schools International Aoife KELLY (Presentation College, Carlow) was on hand to name the Player of the Match recipients.
Ciara MILTON (St. Leo’s College, Carlow) was rewarded for her sterling performance for Leinster against Connacht in the opening game while Madison McGUANE (Ardscoil Mhuire, Corbally) was selected for Munster in their victory over Ulster. Déjá vu for the young Limerick scholar as she received the same accolade last season in the same fixture.
