November 11, 2022Belfast Harlequins v Omagh 
On Sunday 6 November, Omagh travelled to Belfast to take on Harlequins in what turned out to be a fiercely contested match.
Harlequins started the game quickly and through their powerful runners kept the ball for multiple phases, and scored an early converted try. From the restart, Omagh regained possession and put several phases together, and after strong carries from the ever willing runner Stacey Johnston in the centre, Omagh spotted an overlap and spread the ball through the hands of Grainne McCann and Sophie Alexander, before executing a 2 on 1 with in form winger Shannon McLaughlin who ran in from the 22 to score. Just before the end of the 1st half Harlequins scrum half took a quick tap penalty and scored under the posts, leaving the score 14-5 at the break.
The second half was all about defence as Harlequins had most of the ball and territory. A great defensive display from Omagh kept Harlequins at bay for the most of the half - shout outs must go to Katie Beattie, Stacey Johnston, Cathy Keatley and the player of the match Sophie Alexander for putting in some great hits. Unfortunately Harlequins scored two tries at the very end of the game to leave the score 24-5.
There were plenty of positives to take from the game and the girls are improving every match they play!
Speedy recovery to RJ McKeown as she picked up a bad ankle injury!
