Naas come into the final having toppled the prem champions Sallins in the semi final. Meanwhile Moone beat prem side Kilcock and are on a 15 game winning streak.
1st Half – Moone started the game on the front foot and looked to put Naas under pressure from the off. Naas started the game slightly nervous but dug in well defending. Moone had a chance with free kick outside the box that went wide of Lauren’s goal. Naas tried to play out the back but were closed down quickly from Moone.
Naas then started to play there way into the game with playmaker Kate getting on the ball and dictating the play. Rosie made some good runs down the right. Alana was putting in the tackles to get the Naas girls going. Kate was feeding through balls to Aoife who was unlucky to be caught off side a couple of times. Some great play from Aoife setup Amelia who went through on the left to slot home 1-0. Brillant finish from Amelia who has been in impressive form lately.
Second Half
2nd Half: Naas rang the changes with Sara and Katie replacing Alana and Rosie who ran themselves into the ground first half. Naas started more settled in second half. Sara showed her usual composure to break up play in middle and setup attacks.
Katie was lively on the right wing breaking forward and finding Aoife. Amelia had another chance to double Naas’s lead but was unlucky to see her attempt to go wide.
Faye took a bang to the face and never put a foot wrong all afternoon. Moone began to turn the screw in search of an equaliser with captain Kate back defending. Both Alex and Aine were brilliant at the back ensuring that Moone were kept at bay from Naas goal. Lauren was solid in goals as she has been all season. Naas brought on Lauren and Evie late on to help close out the game and keep the ball in oppositons half. Naas hung for the first ever girl cup win.
Naas achieved history for the club beating both the major and prem champions to lift the cup. A couple of special mentions with Amelia with her great goal and player of the match Aoife who is a real special player. For such a young age she played with no nerves all afternoon, incredible.
Amazing performance from an incredible bunch of girls. They dug in and got their rewards.
