Today we welcomed title chasing Villa to Suir Crescent for an early kick off.

We wanted to get back to winning ways and we started brightly today and got the breakthrough early with a good passing move, that Josh McLoughlin calmly finished past the Keeper, how it was only 1-0 at halftime was baffling with the number of chances created.

Villa started strong at the start of the 2nd half, we introduced Sean O’Donoghue early in the 2nd half and he added a spark back to the team, taking on the Villa left back everytime he got the ball.

Credit to the Villa Keeper he kept them in it and it should have been a comfortable win with such a good performance but unfortunately a poor penalty decision in the dying minutes cost the lads 3 points.

Even after that we hit the crossbar with a thunderous shoot from Lucas Delahunty.

All the lads were devestated afterwards in the dressing room, but we told them to hold their heads up and on to the next one. Lots of good performances, but MoM in this one was U13 player Daniel Ponce de Leon who led with a super workrate all day.
