best of luck girls.
Best of luck to players and management
Best of luck to the Ladies and Michael in his first championship
Hope our ladies play well and win today. There’s about 4 changes to the team that started against Dublin so obviously Moyles is still giving players a chance to claim a place on the first fifteen. An experimental team again today, it’ll be interesting to see how it goes, hope they all justify his faith in them.
1-9 to 0-5 in front after a very solid first half. Rachel Kearns got the goal – she won a long ball in, burst clear and shot low to the corner of the net. Mayo well on top at this stage.
Mayo ladies have won by 1-18 to 0-15. Good performance, never in danger of not getting the win.
