Lisbrack are still in contention for the league play-offs after defeating Clann Eireann at home on Thursday evening 28/06/07.

Playing against the breeze Shauna Rafferty converted a free to open the scoring for Lisbrack. However their lead was short lived when Clann Eireanns attempt at a point hit the upright and rebounded kindly for the visitors who struck the ball to the net. They scored a further point before Aiveen Rafferty scored Lisbracks second point. Clan Eireann replied with a point to leave the mid way score 1:2 to 0: 2 in favour of the Lurgan side.

Lisbrack took full advantage of the second-half breeze when Niamh Marley struck a great point to reduce the margin. Aiveen Rafferty sent a high ball in which the keeper

couldn’t prevent from landing in the net and Lisbrack took the lead. Linda Carr attacked from midfield hitting a fine point to increase the home teams advantage.

Clann Eireann were limited to few second-half attacks due to Lisbracks dominance in midfield and half back in particular Aoife McConville who continually denied her opponent any worthwhile possession.

Aiveen Rafferty scored her second goal close to the final whistle to leave the result in no doubt, two valuable league points and a hard fought well-earned victory for Lisbrack. This was a great achievement for the home side defeating a very experienced Lurgan side. Final score 2:4 to 1:2.
