Ireland U21 Women finished off the Uniphar U21 Series in style with a 4 – 1 win against Scotland U21 at Ulster University Jordanstown on Thursday morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Junior Green Army had edged ahead 2 – 1 in the series on Wednesday evening, thanks to a 1 – 0 win, and Thursday’s result saw the home side secure the series 3 – 1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was quite a turnaround for the Irish team, who were somewhat fortunate to take the win in the opening game<\/a> before going down 1 – 2 in the second<\/a>, however their conversion rate up front saw them through with Leah O’Shea, <\/strong>in particular, too hot to handle for the Scottish defence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scotland took the lead in this game with a first quarter goal from Zara Kennedy <\/strong>and it was a lead that they took into the second half in what was starting to look like another tight game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Ireland came roaring back in the second half with O’Shea converting two penalty corners to give Ireland a 2 – 1 lead in the third quarter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was all out attack from Scotland in the final quarter but a wonderful pass out of the Irish defence was latched on to by Jenna McCarlie<\/strong> who drew the keeper before passing to Tory Byrne<\/strong> for a simple tap in to take the score to 3 – 1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
