Win for DWPC Snr women
In Carnegie LC our Snr women took on KKASC in their first home game of this season. With a mix of younger players complimented by the older more experienced ones, DWPC started brightly with Niamh scoring within 46 secs of the start however KKASC responded to draw level. The response was immediate with Julia restoring the lead just 20s later. 6 goals from Niamh, Julia, Hannah P and Alison gave the home team a good 8-1 lead at end of Q1.
KKASC were first to score in Q2 but DWPC responded with 4 goals from Julia, Erin and Niamh to extend their lead without reply. Good defending combined with some great blocks from Catriona prevented KKASC from getting on the scoresheet. Coach Calum rotated his team throughout with Sophie making her senior debut and the younger players stepping up to the challenge and working hard. 12-2 at half time.
Q3 was a tighter period as the younger players enjoyed plenty of Pooltime and despite goals from Caitlin, Hannah P and Julia, KKASC managed 4 goals to narrow the gap although DWPC were still in control. 3-4 to KKASC this quarter but 15-6 going into the final period.
The final period was exciting end to end and evenly played out at 3-3, Hannah P, Niamh and Aimee on the scoresheet for DWPC. The younger players adjusting to the higher tempo of senior games and managed well, Catriona in goals again played a key part in keeping the KKASC down with some stops at key moments of the game. An entertaining and competitive game finished with a late goal from Hannah P. Final score 18-9.
