Mungret St. Pauls 2-11 Drom Broadford 2-14

Our Limerick Motor Centre sponsored Ladies Football team were on home ground on Sunday 30 August 2020 when they played Drom Broadford. The visitors had the stronger start but Mungret St. Pauls pulled it together to narrow the gap to 3 points by the final whistle.

Drom Broadford opened the game in style when they scored a goal in the opening minutes, this put Mungret St. Pauls on the back foot and they struggled to catch up, by the water break Drom Broadford had punished Mungret St. Pauls with another 4 points while we had scored 2 points from play. Drom Broadford continued with another 2 point leaving a 7 point gap between the teams. Mungret St. Pauls never dropped their heads they kept picking themselves up and getting stuck back into the game and a goal from play in the twentieth minute helped raise their game a bit more but so did Drom Broadford as they added on another goal and two points by the half time whistle widening the gap to 9 points Mungret St. Pauls 1-5 Drom Broadford 2-8.

With a few changes to the team and some encouraging words at half time Mungret St. Pauls were ready to take the second half on. With the clock just started to tick again the ball was sent to the Mungret St. Pauls forwards and quickly put into the back of the net, followed on a minute later with a point from play. Drom Broadford powered back and went 3 points unanswered. There was one more exchange of points before the second water break. It was the next fifteen minutes that made Mungret St. Pauls shine as they came flying out of the blocks and scored 7 points to Drom Broadfords two but unfortunately for our ladies they were just short.
