First game back after an extended Winter break saw us visit Tramore. An early goal settled us and we played some great attacking football. A dominant 1st half display saw us go in 3 up at the break.
The 2nd half was a more even affair as Tramore grew into the game and both teams scored in quick sucession. The win was sealed with a long range strike from Billy.
Goals Og, Dani, Marti, Jamie & Billy.
Great team performance by all, special mentions for Billy & Liam .
