College girls ease into the last eight

Lurgan College overcame Mid-Ulster neighbours Royal School Armagh 5-0 in the third round of the Senior Schools Cup.

In a match that was dubbed the tie of the round by many other schools in the province, the College girls put in an immense performance.

On what was a wintry afternoon in Armagh, the visitors opened their account within two and a half minutes of the whistle. Attacking from the outset, the Lurgan players won a short corner from which captain Hannah Grieve made no mistake with a well placed shot past a stranded Armagh defence.

Goal number two came on nine minutes into the first half when Julie Morrow intercepted a clearance and slipped the ball to Kathryn Edgar who buried it in the back of the net from close range.
