Overall Comments – Performance, Conditions etc.
 
 
 
 
In the most treacherous weather conditions, our ladies valiantly fought to get through to the next round of the Cowdy. While the rain stayed away, the wind was a real challenge and certainly negated home advantage in both legs.
 
11 points was a terrific result away from home, and we only required 13.5 points at Rockmount to win outright or 13 points to level the match and take the win on count back.   With 12.5 points at home, we just missed out by ½ point.
 
Our ladies played hard and made a good account of themselves. This was the first time that Lurgan had ever played Rockmount, and while I know they enjoyed the hospitality, I am confident they felt lucky to have stolen the win…
 
We look forward to doing battle with them again.
