COLERAINE Women’s Reserves returned to action in fine form with a dominant performance against Belfast Ravens III, securing an impressive win and a well-deserved clean sheet…
From the first whistle, Coleraine set the tone with high-intensity pressing and confident play. Their early pressure paid off when Kyla McGivern found the back of the net to give the home side an early lead. Coleraine didn’t let up, and it wasn’t long before Emily Duncan produced a fantastic solo run, finishing it off in style to double the advantage.
The team’s momentum continued to build as the midfield orchestrated some slick passing sequences. A superb passage of play starting from the back and moving through the centre led to a perfectly weighted ball forward, which Aoibhe Wilson coolly converted just before the break, giving Coleraine a commanding 3–0 lead at half-time.
The second-half saw fresh legs introduced, bringing renewed energy to the pitch. Coleraine continued to create chances, maintaining pressure and dominating possession. Despite a spirited response from the visiting Ravens side, Coleraine’s defence held firm, staying composed and organised to protect their clean sheet.
It was a complete team performance from Coleraine Women’s Reserves, showcasing attacking flair, disciplined defending, and strong teamwork throughout the pitch. A fantastic night for the squad as they continue to build momentum this season and another three points in the bag.
A massive thank you to the Happy Haddock for sponsoring the match ball.
