Eventually after relentless team work a clever ball over the top from Laura Connolly who was immense throughout found Kate Lee ⚽️ who broke the deadlock with a great finish 2-1. Straight from the St. Pats restart Kate Lee ⚽️ broke a tackle to score her second goal of the game within a matter of minutes. 3-1.
