Torro United U13 girls got their Premier Shield campaign underway at Powderly Park in Kilberry this morning where Trim Celtic were the visitors. The Torro girls were playing into a very strong wind in the first half and Una Uradnikova in the goal had to work hard to find her passes but was more than up to the task. Trim tried some direct, route one football with the wind behind them but Zoe Brecknell and Aoibhín Primrose in central defense stood firm. Torro started to take control of the game and got into a good passing rhythm. The girls in yellow scored first, after Amelia Carroll in central midfield hit a laser pass out to Erin Coughlan on the right wing, who surged towards the Trim box and delivered a pass to the on rushing Aoibh Conlon at the back post who hammered it past the keeper. Torro were on the attack again soon after, not giving Trim a chance to recover. Amèlie Tyndall passed to Erin Coughlan who made a bending run toward goal, her rasping shot was parried by the Trim keeper, but fell back to Erin who chipped the ball across the goal to Aoibh Conlon for a tap in.
The second half started much how the first had finished, with Torro in the ascendancy. Hard work all over the field saw them create plenty of chances, and all present could sense that another goal was coming. Mid way through the half good work from Cerys McGuinness earned Torro a corner. The left boot of Aoibh Conlon delivered a ball to Sophie McGarry at the front post, who made no mistake from 6 yards and smashed the ball into the net - 3 nil Torro. Trim upped their work rate and were rewarded with 2 late goals, both coming from breaks. Torro had enough in the tank to close out the last couple of minutes and seal victory. Torro progress to the quarter finals where a home tie against Kentstown Rovers awaits.
