Jimmy Walsh Memorial Tournament Result
Portlaw 1A vs Mooncoin Celtic 3A

Posted on by

A tough evening and some harsh lessons learned at the Jimmy Walsh Memorial Tournament. A mix of 3rd division and youth players took to the field to take on a Portlaw side who are knocking on the door of the Premier league with a number of years.

A more experienced Portlaw side punished us on a couple of occasions in the first half and went in 3 up at half time.

Four changes at half time to gain valuable experience for young and game time for old yielded a half of shooting practice for Portlaw and they tagged on several goals but plenty learned by all involved this evening, to eliminate simple mistakes and keep the game very simple is the way forward.

Well done to Portlaw on some fabulous football and some good finishing throughout. Best of luck for the season coming and well done to Locky Power and Co on organising great preseason tournament.

This year is the 50th anniversary of the tournament first run in 1970 and with the entry of 20 teams it is one of the largest pre season tournaments in the country.
