Suir Crescent pitches were frozen all week, but the stormy wet weather today thawed them out. De la Salle were the visitors today and the first half didn’t kick in to life until the last ten minutes. Shane dribbled in to the penalty box and squared for Conor F to get his first goal of the season. Chances at both ends came quickly and De la Salle got 3 quick goals, the last one just beating the offside trap before half time. Mooncoin knew we’d have to score next to get back in the game and a through ball from Shane was taken by James and he drove in to the box before being brought down for a penalty. Cathal slotted it away. Cathal was then unlucky as he rattled the bar from a powerful shot from outside the box. As we pushed on for an equaliser De la Salle got a penalty from a great run in to the box by their No8. He got up to put the penalty away and it finished 2-4. Great effort put in by everyone today and special thanks to Cathal, Naoise, Shane and their parents for driving back from Castlecomer development training session to help the team. A good competitive match with plenty of quality football by both sides in terrible weather conditions.
