Junior Cup: Queen’s University IV 5 Castle II 0

On Saturday, at lunchtime, Castle II were the visitors to The Dub, to play Queen’s University IV, in a Women’s Junior Cup game.

In a scoreless 1^st quarter defences were on top, making for a congested midfield.

Play began to open up in the 2^nd quarter with both sides forcing penalty corners and troubling the keepers. The deadlock was broken in the 22^nd minutes when Pippa Drummond rifled a shot home from open play. Queen’s led 1-0 at halftime.

Queens hit their straps in the 3^rd quarter. Pressure resulted in goals from Zara Hannah, 35 minutes, Drummond, 40 minutes and Eilie Richmond, 42 minutes to give Queen’s a comfortable 4-0 lead at the end of the 3^rd quarter.

Though Castle responded with attacks in the 4^th quarter, Queen’s remained on top. Pressure yielded a 55^th minute goal from Leah Wilson.

Queen’s look forward to the next round on the back of an emphatic 5-0 victory.
