National title for Waterford schoolgirls

National title for Waterford schoolgirls

The Waterford U16 schoolgirl league team will be waking up this morning as National Shield Winners.

That's after they beat Longford 5-3 in the decider yesterday.

Trailing 3-1 at halftime, it was a phenomenal comeback from the Waterford outfit with Zara Corcoran scoring 4 goals and Breanne Hutchinson adding the other.

The side has already won the Munster plate this season and yesterday's result marks the first national inter-league title since 2012.

It's also the first time a squad has won both the Munster and National titles in the same season.
