Girls U11 (2014) - Sallins Celtic

On a not so sunny evening in Sallins, our U11 girls continued their fantastic season with another brilliant performance against a strong Sallins team.

With a resilient Sallins defense Naas struggle to break them down in the 1st half despite playing most of the attacking football.

The deadlock was broken early in the 2nd half with Naas constant pressure paying off. Once the first goal went in 3 more followed quickly with some brilliant passing and movement from all the girls. Sallins got a consolation in the last few minutes but made not impact on the result or the performance from the Girls in Pink⚽💪🏻🩷.

1. Lauren O'Reilly:

Our super shot stopper never lets the team down. Made some crucial saves when called up on and her distribution kept the team going forward through the whole game. The team is lucky to have her.

2. Kitty Hill:

Came into the defense and stood up to everything Sallins throw at her in the first half. Moved into midfield in the 2nd half and never stopped from beginning to end. A player who continues to improve every week.

Julia was a rock in defense and is developing into an all round player. Carried the ball out from the back and got a well deserved goal in the 2nd half. Continues to get better & stronger every week.
