1st XI Superleague: Grosvenor Grammar School 0 The Royal School Armagh 5

On a grey, but mild Saturday morning, The Royal School Armagh were the visitors to east Belfast to play Grosvenor Grammar School in a Superleague Tier A Group A fixture.

In their first attack Daisy Nicholson gave RSA the lead, after only a minute’s play. Despite the majority of territory and possession RSA couldn’t break a resolute GGS defence and it remained 1-0 at the end of the 1^stquarter.

RSA continued in the 2^nd quarter, as they had in the 1^st. They dominated midfield, consequently the GGS were starved of ball and only made occasional visits to the RSA half. RSA earned a plethora of penalty corners but couldn’t make any count. It remained 1-0 at halftime.

The RSA attack clicked in the 3^rd quarter. Hannah Redmond’s strike in the 33^rd minute gave RSA a 2-0 lead. A minute later Rebecca Crawford made it 3-0. RSA continued to press and were rewarded by Joni Cunningham’s 43^rd minute goal to lead 4-0 at the end of the 3^rd quarter.

In the closing moments of the 4^th quarter Mia Taylor’s goal completed a comprehensive 5-0 victory.
