Kilmacthomas 1-6 Villa

We travelled to Alaska park for our first game in 2 months. Caoimhe got us up and running 2 minutes into the game. Goals from Zara, Frankie and Emily followed with Caoimhe getting her second before the break.
Mia added 2 more towards the end of the game. Credit to Kilmac who kept going and were awarded a penalty with the last kick of the game in which Penny almost got her hand to.
Important 3 points for us as we head to the business end of the season
Well done girls and thanks to parents and supporters

Villa 4-0 Ballinroad

We took on Ballinroad on the grass earlier this afternoon and a strong performance seen us come away with the 3 points.
Zara O’Byrne opened up the scoring with a strike from distance. Emily Murphy added a second from a free kick towards the end of the half won by Jessica Ferguson.
We got the 3rd 10 minutes into the second half as Zara who was immense in midfield today won the ball back found Mia Quinlan in the box and she produced a great finish into the goal.
The fourth goal followed when subs Jessie Kelly and Kate Douglas worked together to win the ball off a Ballinroad defender which allowed Jessie in on goal to wrap it up. Penny White was made work for her clean sheet towards the end as Ballinroad made a couple chances which she replied with good saves.
Good performance from us overall as we continue to get better as the weeks go on and thanks to parents and supporters

Southend 1-4 Villa

We travelled to Southend for the reverse fixture. We started well controlling possession and found ourselves 1-0 up through an Emily Murphy penalty after a handball in the box.
Jessie Kelly pounced on a loose ball to make it 2 and Jessica Ferguson made it 3 before the break with a great strike after good work on the left hand side between Jessie and Pia Alvarez to get the ball to her.
Southend grew into the game second half and got their goal with about 12 minutes to go which gave them belief but we killed the game off with the last bit of action as Zara O Byrne played a ball out to Mia Quinlan who slipped in Roslyn Grant to finish.
Hard fought win for the girls and thanks to parents and supporters

Cashel Town 3-2 Villa

We travelled to Cashel for the first round of the trophy and were second best for most of the first half and as a result found ourselves 2-0 down at halftime conceding on the break and from a corner. We had to regroup at half time and with some changes we began to get a hold of the game pinning Cashel back playing with more intensity and winning our duels but a third goal against the run of play from a deflected cross that gave Penny White no chance put us 3-0 down.
Emily Murphy immediately replied with a strike from distance to pull one back.
Running out of time we managed to grab ourselves a corner we threw all 11 in the box and Caoimhe Quinlans delivery found Emily for 3-2 but it was was too late as we had no time left for a third.
Good fight from the girls in the 2nd half thanks to Cashel for a good game, best of luck in the next round and thanks to the parents and supporters
