Underage Preview WU17<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our WU17 travel to Lecarrow in Roscommon today, splitting the distance by agreement with Donegal WFC in their fourth game in Phase 2. The team will be looking to bounce back from last weekend\u2019s 6-2 loss to Shelbourne. With just one point from their opening three Elite Phase games, manager Jess Lawton are keen to get back to winning ways. \u201cShelbourne were a very good side, but I thought the scoreline flattered them a bit, we were excellent in the second half after a slow start, but didn\u2019t take enough of our chances and didn\u2019t shut Shels down either, which we needed to do\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDonegal will be a tough test, I think we\u2019re seeing already that the other side of the league before the Elite phase was probably a bit stronger, and a little more even and we need to continue to grow and not plateau after our excellent phase 1. We\u2019ve looked at different ways of doing things and we\u2019re really focused. We have Keira Sena back and Emer Slattery from Athletic has joined us, so that\u2019s a great boost.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lawton must plan without captain Grace Flanagan after a recurrence of an injury during Irish Assessments this week. \u201cWe\u2019re waiting for MRI results on Grace, she was just back from injury, she\u2019s hugely important to us and of course to the Irish team also, but right now the most important thing is her recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Underage Preview WU19<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last Sunday\u2019s WU19 team Cup game away to Bray Wanderers-Greystone United was unfortunately called off so Lawton has to face into Sunday\u2019s home game against Shamrock Rovers with a different type of preparation but the team come off the back of an n excellent 3-0 win away to Carlow-Kilkenny where Fiana Bradley\u2019s brace saw her reach the 20-goal mark for the season, with Meghan Carr adding the third, and Jess is keen to continue the side\u2019s progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe game being called off last weekend was very disappointing, we were practically on the bus but the flip side is that we\u2019re now through to a Cup quarter final. It\u2019s disappointing for us and for and really you just hope that this is a very rare occurrence at National League level.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis weekend, Shamrock Rovers will be a very strong side but I\u2019ve been really happy with how we\u2019ve been progressing and while we have to factor in the opposition, I just want us to continue how we\u2019ve been going and what we\u2019ve been building on. We\u2019ve added a few new signings, some of whom will be available Sunday. Lauren Hughes and Abbie Coughlan should be cleared and we\u2019re looking forward to seeing how they add to us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was a little disappointment that the game clashes with the WN: Senior Team Cup game with Bonagee United. \u201cYeah, obviously a lot of the U19 squad want to cheer on the seniors and we have supporters who would like to see both games, especially parents of players. We did ask for the U19 game to be moved to 5pm, but that was denied by the FAI, and look, that would have left Rovers with a later trip home, but it\u2019s definitely not ideal scheduling.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
