The Donegal Women’s League U14 side will play in the Gaynor Cup Plate Final today where they will meet last year’s winners Limerick District.
Brid McGinty and Daniel Doherty’s Donegal defeated Clare 2-1 yesterday.
A first half goal from Alison Mbuli saw Donegal take the lead after a brilliant team move on ten minutes. Donegal continued to press with Eilis O’Connell and Orla Maguire threatening from wide positions. Ayva Boyle, Islagh Patton and Aoise Diver all worked hard in midfield winning a lot of ball.
In the second half Donegal were up hill and against the wind. Five minutes after the interval Alice Gibbons doubled Donegal’s lead after a brilliant chip over the out rushing keeper. Clare pulled one back late on but Donegal held on.
Another excellent team performance from the girls from Donegal sees them earn a place in the Plate Final (5th/6th place) today at 1pm.
