This team stepped into the unknown today when they played their first game in the B division and they came up against a tasty home team.
The boys done well early on and there was nothing between them for the first half hour and it could have been better if we had to convert a few half chances in the opening 20 minutes and it could well have been a different game.
Dungarvan caught us with a through ball 10 minutes before HT & the forward finished well into the bottom corner.
Second half started with Rudi going close with a shot but with 15 mins left we got caught in possession at the back & Dungarvan sealed the points.
Plenty of positives to be taken from today’s game where all performed well and know what’s required going into the next game against Ballyduff.

Tomorrow:
U12A away to De La Salle,
Kick off 10.30
This young bunch will be eager to get cracking and off to a winning start. Good work done in the preseason so hopefully it pays off.

U12B home to Park Rangers B
Kick off 10.30
This squad finished off their preseason preparation with a win against Piltown on Wednesday evening and will look to carry that form through against the lads from Faithlegg.

U16 away to Dungarvan,
kick off 2.30
A long trip to Kilrush Park awaits this squad who step up a division after their cup success last season. They will have to be at their very best as all Dungarvan teams are tricky to beat on home turf.

Sunday:
3rd division home to Carrick,
Kick off 11am
Moore’s men will be hoping to get their first win under their belt and get things moving in what will be a long season. A couple of bodies will be back for Sunday so fingers crossed they go well.

Youths home to Crystal,
Kick off 2pm
After the disappointing defeat against Abbeyside, the youths will look to bounce back against Crystal and start building momentum in what will be a tight league.

U14 home to Seaview Celtic,
Kick off 4pm
This rescheduled game is in the super Sunday slot and here’s hoping Derek’s squad get off to a good start as they step up a division.

A busy weekend ahead and support will be crucial for all our teams for the season ahead so do your best to get out and shout on your team.

The wind blew in the favour of the Carrick United ‘B’ team this evening in Tom Drohan Park. We started out against the breeze and were playing decent football until a sheer different level of football kicked in within minutes. To take some positives from the game we looked sharp with a new line up and a really strong bench that would give great confidence for the other games against teams of the same level in this league. No faulting the efforts of this team everybody played their hearts out. Heads up everyone! The team that travelled to Carrick were. Jonah O’Toole, Dylan Conway, Denis Kinsella, Tom Conway, Alex Bailey, Conor Dermody, Liam Hogan, Lee Freyne, Sean Lennon, Sam Hartwell, Adam Conway, Stephen Foran, Diego Blanco Ibanez, Ciara O’Keefee, Matthew Morahan, Daniel Roberts.

A rip roaring game in damp conditions in Ashgrove this evening saw a fully deserved 3 points secured and a good start for Scoby’s crew.
There wasn’t going to be much in it and it was a bullet header from Neville Synnott which was decisive. Ian Synnott and Tommy Nolan ran the Johnville defence ragged and we’re given great support from Lee Kelly and the evergreen Gerry Walsh in midfield. This game was won in defence though with the back 4 outstanding, Daragh Beagan was full value for his clean sheet with Johnny McGrath and Johnny Power excellent but a towering performance from man of the match Mick Thompson kept Johnville at bay throughout. Great squad performance and plenty to look forward to for the season.

Tomorrow:
4th division home to Johnville,
Kick off 6.30
The wait is over for the older guys in the club when they entertain Johnville at home in Ashgrove. Preseason has gone well under new manager Trevor Dunphy with a number of new signings secured to back up the squad from last season.

Wednesday:
U15s away to Carrick,
Kick off 6.15
Mick Conway and Victor Bailey have had a busy pre season getting this squad prepared. After an impressive run last season hopes will be high in what is sure to be a tough trip to Tom Drohan Park.
Support for both sides would be welcome as they look to get off to winning starts.

A depleted 3rd division side made the short trip to Kilmacow on a windy Friday evening and the squad was further effected with Sean cashin injured in the warmup and Joey after 5 minutes.
Further misery with a penalty conceded after 10 minutes.
After a terrible start we managed to get a hold on the game and we’re helped with some great goal keeping from Jamie Cody making his first appearance in goal since U11.😃
1-0 at half time and the lads were very positive at the break and rightfully so as we were well in the game.
We started very well against the wind and played some great football with the two Adams creating great openings in the middle. Mid way through we were caught with a long ball in the wind and an error at the back allowed Kilmacow in for an easy second goal.
The lads kept going at Kilmacow and Adam Croke forced a foul with some brilliant individual play which Moore tucked away cleverly into the bottom corner.
2-1 and the lads came back to life.
Chances came and went for us and could have left with all 3 points but instead were caught for a third goal to seal the win for our neighbors.
Even with 12 players missing this evening the team played very well against a Kilmacow side made up of 1A and 3rd division players.

The squad are chomping at the bit for the next fixture and with a trip to Carrick next Sunday it’s the perfect game to pick up our first win and get the season up and running.
