U14b Boys: Mooncoin Celtic 2 – 5 Park Rangers

A windy Saturday for the visit of league leaders unbeaten Park Rangers, and after an under par 1st half, where we gave away two really soft goals.

We had a chat in our new dressing room and came out and really took it to Park Rangers. Josh scored a cracker from outside the box in the first 10mins to get us back in the game , then a short time later Anil bended a beauty in to top corner.

Park Rangers were rattled, we had two good chances and a big call for a penalty not given from a clear hand ball.

Park Rangers got two late goals on the break showing the good side they are.

Overall we were delighted with 2nd half performance and hope we learn from the soft goals.

MoM in this one was Anil for the amount of ground covered and hard work. Special mention for Connor Walsh on his first start and was unlucky not to score.

U12b Piltown 1 – 0 Mooncoin

A sunny start in Piltown for the u12s though a strong wind made it very difficult for both teams to play good football.

A cagey scoreless first half with limited chances for both teams. The second half opened up and Piltown took the lead from a break through the middle halfway through the second half.

The lads picked themselves up and despite the pressure the Piltown defence stayed resolute and the match finished 1-0.

LMS Update: There were a few fallers

While there were only a handful of fallers last week, this week saw over 60 fallers in Last Man Standing, with City and Southampton catching out a boat load of players.

That leaves 41 players still standing.

New for this years LMS is a leaders table, this is used in the case were LMS gets to the final game of the Premier League and there are still players remaining. As such there can only be one winner the leader in this table and at this point in time there are 9 players in prime position for the win.

But one false prediction and a leader this week could be out of the competition altogether.

Best of luck to all players for round 4 which will be played April 2nd 2022.
