Fermanagh In Convincing Win Over Louth Suzuki National Football League Fermanagh 2.12 Louth 1.1 Fermanagh opened their League campaign with a convincing win over Louth in Irvinestown on Sunday. Fermanagh played with out a number of their first team regulars but the young and inexperienced girls proved they were worthy of their selection. Fermanagh opened the scoring but a goal and point was all that Louth could mange in the opening half. Fermanagh quickly stamped their dominance on the game and had scored 1.7 in the opening half. Louth were kept scoreless in the second half by a hard working Fermanagh defence. Fermanagh continued to dominate the second half and ran out comfortable winners. A point by Caroline Little opened the scoring for Fermanagh in the first minute of the game; however a point from Sharon Drumgole and a goal from Mairead Brennan in quick succession stunned Fermanagh into playing. Points quickly followed from Terri Cassidy, Caroline Little (Free) and Donna Maguire to draw the game. Fermanagh continued to work hard and pressurise the Louth defence and were rewarded with points from Eimir Martin, Carries Mooney and Terri Cassidy. Cassidy latched on to a long ball played in by Martin and she finished it into the net and this left Fermanagh going in with a six point lead at half time. Half Time: Fermanagh 1.7 Louth 1.1 It took Fermanagh ten minutes to opening the scoring in the second half, with points from Caroline Little and Carrie Mooney. A through ball played in by Eimir Martin left Terri Cassidy with the task of finishing the ball to the Louth net which she expertly did. The pressure continued from Fermanagh and a brace of points followed from Marcella Connolly, Sharon Little (free) and Terri Cassidy to leave Fermanagh with a convincing win. There were good displays from Edel McGovern, Aine McBrien and Glenda Fitzpatrick in the defence by keeping Louth scoreless in the second half and Tara Hughes dominated midfield. The forwards proved to be a constant thorn in the Louth defence and in particular Terri Cassidy, Eimir Martin and Caroline and Sharon Little Final Score: Fermanagh 2.12 Louth 1.1 Fermanagh’s next league game is against Carlow next Sunday, venue to be announced yet.
