The Rainey Hockey team pictured after their Superleague win over Royal School Armagh
Ulster Superleague Quarter-Final
Rainey Endowed v Royal School Armagh
The Rainey girls qualified for the last four with a 3-2 win over Royal School Armagh, on penalty runs, on Thursday.
The Rainey girls played a fast-competitive match which saw them go 2-0 up early on through Gabi Scott and Alexa Hastings, against a very strong Armagh Team.
Just before half-time Armagh pulled one back to make it 2-1. The second-half continued to be played end to end but it was Armagh who eventually found the back of the net to pull the match back to a draw.
The teams then faced a shoot out of 1 v 1 to decide the winner. Some fine saves from goalkeeper Dawn Francis and goals from Charlotte Beggs, Ellie Montgomery and Gabi Scott ensured a 3-2 win to Rainey on penalty runs.
Rainey now play in the semi-final at Civil Service HC on the 16 November. Well done to all players on both teams, an amazing game of hockey
