Laois HC2s were away to Rathgar on Saturday February 18th. Thankfully the rain stayed away for most of the game. Rathgar got off to a good start and Laois had to work hard in the first quarter to keep them out.

The first quarter finished 0-0 but Laois were  rewarded for their hard work  in the 2nd quarter with 2 goals from Averil Atkinson after some great attacking runs by Gloria Lewis and Yvonne Hargroves, both of whom left everything on the pitch.

Some tired legs in midfield towards the end of the game. Penny Wilkinson and Maeve Delaney both did very well in midfield.

Yvonne Hargroves got a blow to the face in the fourth quarter and had to be subbed off. The match finished 2-0 to Laois.

We look forward to the semi final of the cup against Portrane next Saturday 25th February in what will surely be a big day for the team!
