Waterford’s senior ladies continued their unbeaten start to Division Three of the National Football League thanks to a win over Fermanagh in windswept Bawnacre Irvinestown on Sunday last.
Playing into a gale-force wind in the first half Waterford were slow to settle until Sinead Ryan raised the first of five green flags for the Déise girls to leave the score at half-time reading Waterford 1-6 Fermanagh 0-2.
Michelle Ryan opened Waterford’s account in the fifth minute of the second half with a goal and the next 20 minutes the standard of football was mediocre, resulting only in both teams sharing four points to leave the score at Waterford 2-8 Fermanagh 0-4.
It was only in the last five minutes of the game that Waterford put a gloss on the score-line with three goals in rapid succession from Maria Delahunty, Ciara Hurley and Lauren McGregor to leave the final score reading Waterford 5-10 Fermanagh 0-4.
This win leaves Waterford top of the League table with three wins from three games and in a strong position to reach the League semi-finals.
Tougher tests lie ahead for Pat Sullivan’s charges starting with a home game on Sunday next against Leitrim with the venue to be decided later this week.
