Sion Swifts 2-1 Glentoran Women

Wed, 07/07/2021 - 22:46

Glentoran Women missed the chance to return to the top of the Danske Bank Women’s Premiership following a surprise 2-1 defeat at Sion Swifts Ladies.

Teegan Lynch opened the scoring just before the break for the hosts and Aimee Neal added a second just after the hour mark.

Kerry Beattie gave champions Glentoran hope with five minutes remaining - remarkably her eighth goal against Sion in three appearances this season - but it was not enough for the Glens.

Sion took the lead when Neal’s header from a corner crashed against the bar but Lynch was there to score on the rebound.

Neal’s glancing header made it 2-0 in the 63rd minute and Beattie’s late consolation goal was not enough.
