League Division 6

BSJ produced an excellent team performance in League Division 6, putting together a strong display of attacking football and defensive pressure to run out 6-15 to 2-4 winners over Brigids.

From the opening exchanges, BSJ set the tempo and quickly established control, with the girls showing great energy and intent all over the pitch.

⚡ Fast Start

BSJ got off the mark inside the opening minute through a point from Danielle Clune, before Nicole McCambridge found the net just moments later to put BSJ firmly in control.

Points from Christine McCambridge, Sophie Brennan and Nicole followed, before Brigids registered their first goal.

BSJ responded immediately, with Maggie Stack finding the net before Nicole added another goal to her tally.

🧡 Kick-Out Pressure Pays Off

BSJ were excellent on both their own and the opposition kick-outs throughout the game.

The girls consistently competed for possession and were quick to turn winning the ball into attacking opportunities. That pressure allowed BSJ to keep Brigids pinned back for long periods and build a healthy advantage.

🔥 Building the Advantage

BSJ continued to attack with purpose as the half progressed.

Sophie Brennan added another point before Anna McGrath struck for a goal and followed it with a point.

Christine McCambridge then added another major as BSJ continued to find gaps in the Brigids defence.

A final point from Nicole before the break left BSJ comfortably ahead at half-time:

🎯 Nicole Completes the Hat-Trick

With BSJ continuing to apply pressure, Nicole McCambridge completed her hat-trick in the 48th minute, adding another goal to an outstanding individual scoring performance.

Nicole finished the game with an impressive 3-3, while also contributing hugely to the team’s overall attacking play.

🏃‍♀️ Relentless Work Rate

🎯 Late Effort from Sophie
