Ethan captained the side today and the lads showed a great attitude and work rate against Tramore.

They came close on occasion and the delivery from set pieces was exceptional from Tadhg, TJ and Ethan throughout. In the end the difference was that Tramore were more clinical with their finishing and the lads were punished for small lapses especially late on as they pushed forward for a goal.

They got one at least with the last kick of the game when Dylan had a tap in after a parried shot from the opposition keeper. A disappointing result after some fine individual performances. 4-1 final score.

An unfortunate start from the lads saw them 4-1 down at half time today. A much improved second half saw them get plenty chances but it wasn’t to be. They also defended very well when put under pressure.

The scoreline doesn’t reflect how the lads played today so we are going to stay positive heading into the next game.

Liam was captain against a very physical Villa side today and the boys were really up for the fight first half creating plenty of chances through Tom, Billy, Donncha and Liam.

Villa had chances of their own however and took the lead through a fortuitous goal however. The boys responded immediately with Tom finishing from close range after great wingplay down the left from Billy.

A disappointing opening to the second half saw the lads concede 2 preventable goals and they struggled to get into the game thereafter. 3-1 to the visitors.

A tight game in windy conditions was played out this afternoon and one goal was always going to be the difference between the two sides.

Carrick with their tricky forwards were always dangerous in the first half and Tyler Kelly was excellent with his handling throughout the first period when the pressure was on.

Second half saw our boys stamp their authority on the game and a superb finish from Ryan Sutton was to prove to be the winner. Excellent squad performance again with all contributing to a good win.

A very off colour performance by all Sunday was punished by a slick Bohs outfit who are steamrolling all in their way.

Six poor mistakes were to prove costly, three in each half were the story of the game. Credit to Bohs for some good finishes throughout, best of luck to Bohs in the next round.

We travelled to Kilmac and found Alaska Park to be windier than usual. Playing with the wind we edged the first 15 mins and when Jamie C picked up a ball on left edge of the box he made no mistake with a great strike to put us ahead.

We dominated the midfield with Liam, Conor and Oisin in control and a ball out to the right found Cathal who cut inside to finish low to the net. 2 up at the break , we faced the gale for the 2nd 40 minutes.

Both teams fought to get on top when a deft pass from Cathal found Jamie G he raced clear to calmly finish. Kilmac threw everything at us and with 15 mins left they capitalised on a mistake to get 1 back. But the defence of Alex,Jack,Luke, Mattie and Tadhg on goal were not going to be beaten again.

A fantastic performance from 1 to 11 saw us bring the 3 points home. Well done team and coaches.

Goals Jamie C, Cathal, Jamie G
