3A League: St Paul’s 2 – 3 Mooncoin Celtic

Title chasing St Paul’s hosted us today on the moon in perfect conditions. From the off, the boys pestered St Paul’s and gave very little space all over. On 25 minutes Ryan Carroll slotted home after a long throw by Chris O’Hanlon.

We were under a wee bit of pressure after this but weathered the storm and Ryan Carroll popped up again to nod home from a Chris O’Hanlon cross this time. Second half started and we quickly went 3 up with Derek Tebay nodding home after Jason Sauvage had a free kick fumbled.

We continued to attack and possibly could have been out of sight but for poor finishing and bad luck. To be fair St Paul’s had plenty chances but our young defence stood firm before two scrambles resulted in a nervy finish. Excellent performance by all on duty today but special mention to a red hot Ryan Carroll.
