Second Half
In the second half, Naas completely took control. The midfield duo of Sara and Kate dominated proceedings, with their interplay proving lethal. Grace put in an outstanding defensive shift, ensuring nothing got past her. Naas doubled their lead with a slick breakaway orchestrated by Kate, who found the back of the net with a tidy finish to make it 2-0.
As the match progressed, Naas continued to threaten, with Kate searching for her hat trick and both Evie and Rosie only narrowly missing the target. The Kilcock goalie made impressive stops to deny both Sara and Amelia, but the relentless Naas pressure finally paid off again.
