With the NIWFA season almost completed there were just 3 league games last week across all the divisions as the fixtures secretary mops up the outstanding league fixtures.
In the Carnegie Premiership, Mid Ulster finished in a very creditable 4th spot after a 6-1 thrashing of an out of sorts Linfield.
Simone Magill mesmerised the Blues defence in scoring a fine hat trick and was ably assisted by Laura Burton who scored twice and Michelle Scott who netted the other.
With Alfie McCrory’s side suffering a late season loss of form Mid Ulster swapped places with the Blues who finished in 5th place.
In Coca Cola division 1 Downpatrick faced Portaferry in a rearranged fixture at Dunleath Park and secured a comfortable 9-1 win that moves them in second place and a play off match with Alison Nicholl’s Coleraine.
It was a real team effort from the Downpatrick girls with hot shot Sarah Jess netting a hat trick.
Kyla Trainor helped herself to a brace as did Tracey Megarry and Louise Baker to complete the scoring.
In Coca Cola division 2 Dungoyne pulled off something of a surprise when they beat Cappagh Spurs 4-1.
The Spurs seemed to have their divisional cup final against Derry City on their minds and will certainly need to improve if they wish to collect the silverware.
On Friday night the Coca Cola Championship cup final was played at the Coleraine Showgrounds.
In a cracking game between Cliftonville and Fermanagh Mallards it was the Fermanagh girls that came out on top by a 1-0 scoreline.
Louise Noble was the Mallards marvel with a fantastic strike worthy of winning any game.
Cliftonville had some consolation when Nicki Carlin was named player of the final which was perhaps testament to the effort put in by the Cliftonville ladies.
On Tuesday 1 September Downpatrick will square up to double chasing St Matthews at the Danny Blanchflower Stadium.The Coca Cola Division 4 cup final was played last Tuesday with table topping Kilkeel aiming to complete a double in their debut season.
Despite falling behind to an early Distillery strike the Mourne side held their nerve and stormed back to win 3-1 with goals from, Nicole Graham, Rebecca McAtee and Elaine Orr with Elaine Orr also being named player of the match.
