St Andrews win Junior Cup

St Andrew's girls, inspired by under-16 international duo Chloe Watkins and Gillian Pinder, claimed the league and cup double as they beat Alexandra 3-1 in the Junior Cup final last Friday. Watkins opened the scoring with a virtuoso goal, breaking from the half-way, beating two players before coolly sliding the ball home.

Pinder, who won player of the match, intercepted a wayward pass around the back to score for 2-0 before getting the third early in the second half. Alex did pull one back and had a flurry of chances in what was a fairly evenly balanced game. They did not have the killer instinct, though, to make it a tighter scoreline.

*You can read full reports on this game with pictures this week in the Dundrum and Dun Laoghaire Gazette on Wednesday afternoon and also in Thursday's Evening Herald.
