After finishing as League Champions in what was the first year playing soccer for most of the team, the Killarney District Soccer Club’s Women’s All Age 7s team also took out a grand final victory to finish the season as Premiers.
In a tight and gripping encounter, neither team could find the net in the first half and scores were locked at nil-all at half-time.
In the end it was a handball by Barnstoneworth in their penalty area that broke the deadlock, with Bec Wales beautifully slotting the ensuing penalty to make it 1-0.
The irony was not lost on the Killarney girls, as they had themselves fallen victim to not one penalty from a handball in the box but three in one single match against Barnstoneworth in the regular season.
The last 15 minutes saw Barnstoneworth launch a relentless raid of attack on the Killarney goal, only to be continually denied by an outstanding defensive unit courageously playing through injury and running on pure determination.
Vibes were sky high as the girls celebrated into the night knowing that what they had achieved was much bigger than just winning a game of soccer.
