Tough day at the office today when we came up against a good johnville side .first half saw very few chances created with both teams working hard throughout the pitch to close their opponents down .The only goal of the match came after the half hour mark when a lapse in concentration allowed a johnville striker in to take his chance .
Second half saw an improved performance on our part ,with the game opening up a bit more …
We seemed to be getting on top in midfield and created a few good chances and forced several corners to keep johnville pinned back in their own half for long periods.
Unfortunately the luck in the box wasn’t with us today despite a good honest performance from all involved .

A flattering scoreline with the lads dominating throughout against a decent Paul’s team. A thunderbolt in the first half from Rudi looked like it crossed the line after rattling the crossbar but it wasn’t given. Scoreless at halftime but the lads upped the gears with three quick goals from Rizgar, Rudi and Kieran put daylight between them and Paul’s before two goals led to a nervous finish. Three wins from three has these lads primed for a league charge. Good squad performance with Luke again being man of the match but only just with Liam Quinn solid throughout.

A sluggish start saw the lads 2 down early on with Villa’s left winger running them ragged. The second half was a different story with Mikey Cronin pulling a goal back but unfortunately they couldn’t get an equalizer. Four tight games to date in this league for Derek’s squad with little between all sides.

Our u11s travelled to Tramore this morning in cold conditions and put in two sterling performances against strong opposition.

An inter provincial blitz between Munster u12 girls and Leinster u12 girls took place this evening in the WIT complex in Carriganore. Munster won the first game 1-0 and the second game starring one Emily Blackmore was an onslaught with Emily bagging goal number two in a comprehensive 5-1 win for Munster. Unbelievable experience for all the girls playing in this blitz, massive well done to the organisers. Well done Emily.

Tomorrow, u11 away to Tramore, kick off 12 noon
This young squad will take a few games to get going and will use the experience against Piltown to good effect.

U13 away to Villa, kick off 3pm
After a good win in Tramore Monday evening, Derek’s squad will be hoping to build on it and climb the table.
U15A home to St Paul’s, kick off 3pm
The lads will be hoping to make it three from three when they face a strong Paul’s outfit who have proved a thorn in the side for this team the last two seasons.
Sunday: youths home to Johnville, kick off 2pm
A top of the table clash here as the city club will be hoping to keep their 100% record in tact. A super comeback away to ballinroad last week showed the character and metal this side have so Sunday’s game will be a real test for them.
Support for all teams is most welcome so get yourselves out and support our youngsters.
