Women's B League
Swifts 1 Bluebirds 1
This top of the table clash ended all even after a fiercely contested match.
Bluebirds' defence came under pressure from the Swifts forward line but it was the Blues who took the lead in the ninth minute from a solo effort by Denise O'Donoghue who dribbled the ball into the circle and fired a camouflaged shot under the goalie's pads.
Swifts roared back as Bluebirds' goalie Vicki Johnson and defenders Kris Soares, Fiona Lloyd and Morag Gilliland all helped to preserve their team's lead.
In the second half, Swifts continued to press and were eventually rewarded in the 52nd minute when centre forward Ryanne Bardgett picked up the ball and fired an unstoppable shot from the top of the circle.
