Elks were caught cold in the opening minutes, when Frankie Brown<\/strong> latched on to a through ball and guided it past keeper, Gemma Ferguson<\/strong>, to take a 1-0 lead after only 2 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the lead did not last long. Elks won a corner and from a cross shot Jess McMaster<\/strong> was on hand with the vital flick to equalise, after 4 minutes. It was 1-1 at the end of the 1st<\/sup> quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elks held the sway in territory and possession but couldn\u2019t crack a stubborn Ards defence in a scoreless 2nd<\/sup>quarter. It was 1-1 at halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Shannon Atkinson put Elks 2-1 up<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Elks continued to dominate, and pressure told when Shannon Atkinson<\/strong> scored after 37 minutes, to put Elks 2-1 up. Ards absorbed more pressure and created chances for themselves but couldn\u2019t pierce the Elks defence. Elks led 2-1 at the end of the 3rd<\/sup> quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A defensive error allowed McMaster a one on one with the keeper, which she took, to put Elks 3-1 up, after 47 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emma Ferguson saved a 4th quarter penalty stroke<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ards created chances and were awarded a penalty stroke, which was well saved by Ferguson, in the Elks goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was no further scoring, and Elks ran out 3-1, convincing winners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
