Football is full of clichés and today was a great example. A local u13 derby saw Kilmacow arrive in Suir Crescent.

Mooncoin got out of the blocks quickly and Sam added to his goals tally this season with a direct goal from a corner after 2 minutes.

Few minutes later and Shane played a deft ball through for Tommy to slot cooly past the keeper. Just before 15 minutes were on the clock Tommy became provider with James blasting the ball in to the back of the net to deservedly score his debut goal. The first half ended 3 nil up.

Mooncoin knew that Kilmacow would come out stronger in the second half and 2 similar goals through the middle gave Kilmacow plenty of confidence. 5 minutes later and a speculative hit nestled in the top of the Mooncoin goal.

If it wasn’t for a last minute block from Robbie, the game might not have finished a draw.

Football is a funny old game and it certainly was a game of 2 halves today. Well done to both sides for an entertaining match.
