DOUGLAS HALL LADIES
Douglas Hall Seniors (Dreams can come true)
Wednesday 31st. of July will be a date that many Douglas Hall
members will never forget. Senior ladies faced one of the biggest
matches yet. t was the last match of the season against Rathcoole.
A win would insure Douglas Hall the points they needed to win the
league. You could have cut the tension with a knife between the
player's Wednesday night. But when they went out on the pitch
they showed they could play football. Starting strong dominating
play and making some beautiful passes. Every player can hold
their hand up high and say they gave it their all. Two
spectacular goals from mid-fielder Judy Buckley and One from
supper forward Donna O'Leary gave Douglas Hall a three nil lead
at half time.
With great support on the line Douglas Hall went out in the
second half with still great determination, insuring there lead
wouldn't be taken from them. With the defence working at a unit
marshalled by Lynda Horgan. Douglas Hall were getting some
beautiful passes into the box, it wasn't long before Grace got a
well-deserved goal. Introducing some fresh legs in Louise Martin
and Kate Delaney to keep the pressure on to insure Douglas Halls
win. When the final whistle went it was like a dream come true
for all involved in Douglas Hall
The senior team would like to thank all involved in the team.
Manager Alfie McCarthy, Chairperson Una Moore and everyone who
help with the girls over the year Noreen Martin, Irene Mc Carthy,
Finbarr Delaney Anne Collins and all the supporters.
Every body looks forward as much success in the cup.

Two of the four divisions of the Cork Ladies Soccer
League have been decided. Firstly Douglas Hall were guaranteed
top spot when they beat Rathcoole Wednesday night in Douglas Hall.
Douglas Hall finished off their season in emphatic style. They
made sure of their victory by netting 3 goals against a
determined Rathcoole side. Both teams played very well on the
night but it was always obvious there was only going to be one
winner on the night.
In Division 3 Knockadea were crowned champions. On their way to
victory Knockadea did not lose a game and were deserved winners
of Division 3. Their final game and ultimately the decider saw
them defeat a strong EMC side 3-1. With great support on the line
for Knockadea the celebrations were immense and the Cork Ladies
Soccer League were delighted with the success of the new third
