Ballincollig 3 – 2 Wilton United
A great win for Ballincollig that displayed all the best characteristics of the club with skill, determination and a desire to win securing all three points in this top of the table clash.
It was Wilton who scored first but Karen O’Connell got the equaliser for Ballincollig ten minutes before the break. She bravely dived in ahead of the Wilton keeper to stick an Amy Wilson cross into the back of the net leaving the sides on level terms at half-time.
In the second half it was Ballincollig who took the lead when one of the team’s Irish internationals, Stephanie Murphy, picked her spot and shot the ball home from outside the box. Wilton aren’t challenging for league honours on the basis of their nicely coloured jersies though and found an equaliser. However it was Ballincollig who got the decisive goal and took all three points.
Ellen Jackson took down a cross from Karen Murphy. She sidestepped the defender and buried it past the keeper into the bottom corner. A great win for this fine group of players. Best for Ballincollig on the day were Zoe Murphy, Brea O’Callaghan and Wendy Cahill. Keep it up girls.
