Gaynor Cup – 13th/14th Place Play-Off Result
Carlow 2 (Bianka Frydlewicz, Abbie O’Gorman)
North East Regional League 1
Carlow signed off from this year’s Gaynor Cup in impressive fashion, securing a highly respectable 13th-place finish out of 30 teams with a hard-fought comeback victory over the North East Regional League.
Buoyed by yesterday’s win over Mayo, the girls started brightly and controlled the early stages. However, they fell behind after 15 minutes when the North East winger produced a stunning long-range strike that curled into the top corner.
Carlow responded well and deservedly drew level just before half-time. Burrin Celtic’s Lexi Rose Kenny delivered an excellent cross from the right, and Killeshin’s Abbie O’Gorman put the goalkeeper under pressure with a strong challenge. The ball spilled loose, and O’Gorman reacted quickest to bundle it over the line.
The winning goal arrived midway through the second half courtesy of Killeshin’s Bianka Frydlewicz, who unleashed a superb long-range effort that gave the goalkeeper no chance.
A fantastic way to finish the tournament and a great achievement for the squad and management team.
Well done to all involved! 🇬🇳
