Despite the relentless rain both sides produced a highly competitive and entertaining game. The decisive moment came towards the end of the first half when Riverside scored twice in quick succession. Ruby Dooley opened the scoring before Ria Buttimer scored a second almost immediately. This advantage Riverside held on to for the remainder of the game.
The second half produced no further goals but both teams battled hard with some strong challenges and determined defending. It finished Riverside 2 Dunmanway 0 . Riverside now move on full of excitement as attention turns to the next game. ⚽️⚽️
