St Louise's beat Lurgan Junior High 6-1 in cup decider

St Louise’s lifted the girls’ schools’ junior cup on Friday with a convincing 6-1 win over Lurgan Junior High at Moyola Park.

The Belfast school went 1-0 up within the first five minutes when Carla Devine headed home from inside the box. Devine made it 2-0 on 18 minutes when she outpaced Lurgan’s defence and lobbed the goalkeeper before slotting home. 

Jessica Rae pulled one back for LJH through a freekick on 22 minutes, but Carla Mervyn restored St Louise’s two goal advantage five minutes later through a fantastic freekick into the top corner.

Half-time: St Louise’s 3 Lurgan Junior High 1

St Louise’s started the second half in similar fashion to the first, scoring within five minutes through an Erin McGreevy strike from outside the box.

It was 5-1 just minutes later, and then 6-1 as Carla Devine secured her hattrick when she rifled a shot into the top corner to secure a convincing victory.
