A later kick off at Campbell College, coupled with lane closures on the Outer Ring meant that I arrived at Deramore Park at the end of the 1st<\/sup> quarter of the Women\u2019s Junior 2 fixture, between Belfast Harlequins III and Ulster Elks II.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1st<\/sup> quarter was goalless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quins started the 2nd<\/sup> quarter with urgency, closing down the Elks midfield and starving their forwards of possession. Pressure told when Rose Bradley<\/strong> opened the scoring for Quins after 21 minutes. Quins continued to press and it was no surprise when Quins doubled their lead, from a Joanne Currie<\/strong> strike on 26 minutes. Quins led 2-0 at halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the heavy rain Quins continued to press but gradually the tide turned. Elks won more ball and began to string moves together, testing the Quins keeper. Justine Dickie<\/strong> pulled a goal back for Elks after 40 minutes. Quins led 2-1 at the end of the 3rd<\/sup> quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deluge of rain continued into the 4th<\/sup>\u00a0quarter. Now it was Elks putting press on Quins. On 55 minutes\u00a0Aoibheanne McDonnell <\/strong>equalised for Elks. Suddenly it was game on as both teams sought a winning goal. With moments left Hannah McCleary<\/strong>\u2019s strike completed, at one stage an unlikely comeback for Elks, who leave Deramore with 3 league points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
