Laune Rangers travelled to Currow to play their third game in the minor County League, looking to keep up their unbeaten start in the competition.  The game was played at 12 a-side due to a shortage of numbers by the hosts, while Laune Rangers togged out with 18.  From the throw in, Laune Rangers dominated this game against a very young Currow team. The Rangers girls had some very good passages of play in the 1st half, with some excellent point scoring being the highlight. They also kicked three goals in this half and had ten different scorers.  The second half followed a similar path with Laune Rangers girls adding two more goals to their tally, to see them run out convincing winners.  The competition takes a break now due to exams and we want to wish all the girls doing exams the best of luck.   Laune Rangers: Niamh Moriarty, Olivia Moriarty, Laura Patton, Éabha Dolan, Aisling O’Connor, Erin Murphy, Sophia Doherty, Riadh O’Sullivan, Sarah O’Brien, Áine Hassett, Aoife Fenton Toms, Aoife Cleary.  Subs: Kate Costello, Jaquelyn  Owens, Saoirse O Shea, Sarah Patton, Sally McGillycuddy, Amy Callan.
