Unfortunately we won’t be in a position to be recording our 300 Club draw live tonight, keep an eye on the page for the video though. To be posted shortly. Apologies to all.

Youth B side Ballinroad arrived in Ashgrove to face our young charges. Depleted for one reason or another, this young squad can be proud of their display against a bigger physical side.
A missed penalty after two minutes by Evan Cleary could have sent this game in a total different direction with the lads sticking to the game plan throughout the first half to a tee but two sloppy mistakes had Ballinroad 2 up at half time.
Another two costly mistakes in the second half undone the boys who had a second penalty saved, Ryan Carroll the guilty party this time. Another couple of chances were passed up aswell.
Good displays throughout the side with Ryan O’Grady and Luke Ramasamwy doing well at full back, Jay Langford was his usual excellent self but Man of the match was young Adrian Daly who covered every blade of grass, his reading of the game was a pleasure to witness.
Good experience gained by all.

A day to forget for this squad. Credit to the 4th division lads who helped out and to Scoby for looking after them this morning.

We travelled to waterford crystal last Saturday in search of our first league points. We dominated the first half with Finbar Purcell putting us in front after some great link up play with Robbie Doherty on the left. Second half followed the same pattern and when Finbarr released Jamie Crokehe made no mistake to put us 2 up . Crystal came at us after that and 2 lucky goals turned 3 points into 1 very quickly. Regardless of points dropped,upward curve continuing for this bunch . Some great performances on the day, with Man of the match Finbarr Purcell.

A first half of missed chance after missed chance after missed chance, with Ian and Neville Synnott and Mick Dwyer all guilty of misses. Dunmore capitalised on this and they went down and scored with the only chance they had in first half.
Second half had only just started when Ian Synnott levelled with a header from a Shane Twomeys cross. A few fine saves from the returning Andrew Chucky Norris helped keep Mooncoin in the game and then Tommy Nolan put us 2-1 up with a good finish after good work from Ian Synnott. Dunmore then equalised after we were caught ball watching. We spurned another 3 chances when it was easier to score with Gerry Walsh, Ian Synnott and Shane Twomey all guilty. We’ll take a point from a tricky venue. Man of the match was Shane Twomey who bombed up and down the wing all morning.

A windy Alaska Park awaited our youths this afternoon and they were quick to adjust to the conditions playing some lovely football in the first half and opening up Kilmac time after time and goals from Evan Cleary and Rizgar had them 2 up at half time.
A slow start to the second half saw Kilmac come into the game more and they pulled a goal back before Evan Cleary slotted home a penalty after Ryan Carroll drew a penalty from a defender after a great run.
Changes were made and chances still kept coming but wasteful finishing would come back to haunt them with Kilmac grabbing two goals in the final five minutes to grab a point. An entertaining game with plenty of good football played. Stand out player today was Jay Langford, reliable as ever.

Our U11 Green squad travelled to De la Salle today and played out two high scoring games against top class opposition.

Our u11 Blue squad entertained Villa in Ashgrove this morning and again a glut of goals from both clubs with young Tommy O’Connor netting his first hat trick in one of the games.
