A Weekend of Mixed Fortunes but Outstanding Performances Across the Club

Women’s Division 3A – Saturday 10:30am vs Ashton

UCC continued their exceptional league form with a 3–1 win over Ashton.

• Ashton opened the scoring in the 4th minute.
• Isabelle Egar equalised in the 10th minute.
• A tight contest stayed level until late goals from:

Second placed Limerick—strong earlier in the season—are struggling with injuries and recent losses. With four matches left (C of I, Harlequins, Bandon, Limerick), UCC need just one more win to clinch the title.

Despite a brave finish, UCC couldn’t find the equaliser.
