Today we made the short trip to our neighbours Piltown for our second league match of the season. The game started off evenly and both teams were giving everything. Unfortunately an error by Mooncoin gave our hosts a goal that they didn’t deserve. Piltown buoyed by this pushed on and through some fantastic skill by Piltown they doubled the lead. After the hairdryer treatment from JP and a couple of changes to our formation at halftime our girls took to the field with extra impetus. We pulled a goal back thru a superb Ella Brennan long range free kick that left the goalie no chance. The girls pushed on and went very close towards the end when the ball was pinballed around the Piltown 6 yards box for what felt like an eternity but unfortunately we couldn’t find the net. In the last minute Piltown got a corner kick from which they scored a third goal.
All 15 girls that travelled got a good run out and all gave a good account of themselves. After the game even the Piltown coaches couldn’t understand how the ball didn’t cross the line to make it 2 2. But that’s football for you.
We go again on Sunday next at 11.30am in the SFAI Cup at home in Suir Cresent against Stoneyford. Hopefully these girls can put today’s result behind them and focus on next weekend.
