A disappointing result but a very happy management team who couldn’t ask anymore of the boys in what was a excellent performance. They dominated from start to finish with the wind and against the wind but just could not find the net with the lack of match practice probably being the deciding factor. They play Bohs away next Sunday and will look to build on today’s performance.
The rustiness was evident to see when the lads huffed and puffed their way to a 1-0 win but must be commended for dominating the game and they kept trying to play the right way against a dogged Bohs side. Robbie Harrington topped off a man of the match display with the winning goal, finishing off a free kick by Lee Freyne. 3 points secured which hopefully will kick start this sides climb up the table.
Over the next 2-3 weeks there will be a host of games to catch up on starting next week:
