Youth B side Ballinroad arrived in Ashgrove to face our young charges. Depleted for one reason or another, this young squad can be proud of their display against a bigger physical side.
A missed penalty after two minutes by Evan Cleary could have sent this game in a total different direction with the lads sticking to the game plan throughout the first half to a tee but two sloppy mistakes had Ballinroad 2 up at half time.
Another two costly mistakes in the second half undone the boys who had a second penalty saved, Ryan Carroll the guilty party this time. Another couple of chances were passed up aswell.
Good displays throughout the side with Ryan O’Grady and Luke Ramasamwy doing well at full back, Jay Langford was his usual excellent self but Man of the match was young Adrian Daly who covered every blade of grass, his reading of the game was a pleasure to witness.
Good experience gained by all.
