Austin Stacks u14 girls lit up Connolly Park on a glorious Summers evening with some splendid football to earn the County Div2 Shield, with a fine victory over Finuge/ St Senans.
A strong opening quarter saw the Stacks girls establish an early lead, however Finuge / St Senans showed their quality to leave just the bare minimum between the teams at half time.
The visitors leveled early in the 2nd half but with an enthusiastic crowd behind them the girls from the Rock found another gear to wrest back control with some excellent team interplay, fine scores and ferocious defending to take the honours.
Thanks to Finuge / St Senans and referee Mike for a great game to befit any final.
The fantastic support the girls got from the start with a guard of honour from the Stacks Academy girls, right through to the final whistle from friends, family and club mates meant an awful lot and helped the girls get over the line.
The girls are deserved County Champions for their continued improvement over the last few weeks and can look forward in confidence to the rest of the season.
