MOYNE Community School are just one game away from retaining the FAI Schools Minor Girls Leinster Cup (U14) after a semi/final victory over Eureka Kells, writes Gavin Earley:
Moyne completed an impressive double of the national U14 cup and the FAI Post/ Primary Futsal Cup last year, and are quickly closing in on repeating half of that achievement this year:
The Longford school saw off Eureka 2/0 in Tuesday's final/four encounter thanks to goals from Maggie Cassidy and Aidean Mimnagh in Mullingar:
The school's U16 girls were not as fortunate, however, in their semi/final a few days earlier in Monaghan:
Moyne's older girls were seen off 2/1 by Moville Community College despite Michell Hesslin heading home Michelle Farrell's cross to give them an early lead: The second half started at a frantic pace, with Moville creating chance after chance:
Gemma McGuinness equalised for Moville after the break, and Farrell went close, only for the crossbar to deny her side the lead:
Shannon McDonald slotted home the winning goal for Moville and Moyne will now focus their efforts on their U14 side's challenge for honours
