Captain Natalie McFadden scored a hat-trick for the Dry Arch girls against a young Moville side, who showed enough in a heavy defeat to outline their potential for the future.
Raymond Dougal’s young charges battled from start to finish and Erin Coyle marched in behind for an impressive first-half goal.
Moville kept up the fight to the finish and it took a fine save by Claire Friel to keep Moville at bay in the second half while the hosts also rattled the woodwork.
McFadden slotted home to give Bonagee the lead and Siobhan Sweeney got in for her first senior goal.
After Chantelle Grant’s deft free was touched down by McFadden, Niamh McCarthy got in on the act before McFadden added to the tally.
Alice Diver riffled home from long-range for her second in two games and the ever-impressive Sweeney got in to double her tally.
A brilliant finish by Julie McCloy had Bonagee well in command. McFadden completed her hat-trick in the second-half and young Michaela Carolan got in for her first senior goal late in the game.
