Raheny United 1 - 0 Cork Womens FC
A single goal from Rachel Graham on 22 minutes was enough to see Raheny United defeat Cork Women's FC and give them a debut home victory at a sunny Morton Stadium. Graham’s 22nd minute strike was a deserved lead for the Northsiders in what turned out to be a drab affair devoid of incident and mainly battled in midfield. Raheny’s tricky left winger Siobhan Killeen was a torn in the Cork side throughout the first half as Raheny dominated the game. The Cork midfield was marshalled by Susan Donovan and Claire Shine which Raheny struggled to break down. The only clear cut chance of the first came on 22 minutes.
Raheny forward Katie McCabe tussled for the ball with Cork defender Emma Farmer on the edge of the box. McCabe held the ball up and slid it to Rachel Graham who, five meters from the edge of the box, drove the ball past Mullins in the Cork goal to give Raheny the lead. A tight 23 minutes was played out with Siobhan Killen and Megan Campbell the stars of the Raheny midfield. The only further incident of the half came with an eye injury to Cork’s Valerie Mulcahy who was withdrawn with one minute of time remaining.
