Quinn on fire for Lakeside u12s
A penalty and one of her ‘free-kick specials’ from Lakeside’s Emer Miley who would go on to play for the Wick low ladies and remains a major player for Valleymount ladies helped her side to victory over Lucan United on what was a good weekend for the West Wicklow club this week in 2000.
The club scored 24 goals in all competitions with a certain Louise Quinn grabbing three of those when the club’s under-12 side thumped Rivervalley B 13-1 in the first round of their cup competition.
It was the Intermediate side’s away win against Lucan that was first up in the weekly report on the thriving soccer club’s activities.
‘Monday saw the Intermediate side travel to Lucan United, and turn in their best display so far with a top notch 6-1 win,’ it read. ‘The scorers for Lakeside, who led 3-1 at the break, were Maura Reid (2), Michelle Long, Julie Ann Power and a brace from Emer Miley who scored from a penalty, and one of her free-kick specials.
