The Weekend Report

Well afraid I cannot report a win, our best chance I felt was in our U14's probably our longest established team, but annoyingly their opponents didn't show up for the match..... (maybe they had heard we were going to win too!!;)

The U10's match on Saturday was a little disapointing, we had hoped for a close match and possibly even a win after a good showing in our previous match to Rathkeale, but despite some good strong individual players, our passing and positional play let us down, however we have some good players in the team and with a bit more work in training on those things should soon have them winning.

Sunday's U12's match away to Cappamore, however gave us good hope, the lads had learnt a lot from their last game and improved shed loads, their passing was better and were unfortunate to go in at half time 2 - 0 down as we had lots of possesion in the oppositions half, but unfortunately we conceded two soft goals, however with the way we were playing we went into the second half with a real hope that we could win this game, we started brightly but was caught on the counter attack and lost an early goal, but the lads kept plugging away and attacking and eventually with a moment of class from Shane Carroll who struck a fantastic shot from a good distance away from goal, the ball went sailing over the goalkeeper and into the back of the net, a shot any player would have been proud of, this give us real belief we could get a result, but in our attempts to score more the eagerness of the whole team meant they had forgotten their positions in the field and we had nearly all the team in the oppositions half, this left a big gap at the back of the field and we were caught on the counter attack and disappointingly we lost a further two goals, but it has to be said this was a very good performance, and gave all the lads a great boost and belief that their first win is just around the corner, which im sure it is, well played lads.
