U16 Division 3 Boys Grind Out Brilliant 2-0 Cup Win Over East United!

U16 Division 3 vs East United

Cup games always bring a different task and test of character, and today was no different. East United were quality opposition and stronger in many facets of the game. To the lads’ credit, they played amazingly well — their game progression is a real credit to the coaches and the work being done. It was a very tight affair with nothing between the two sides at half-time. The task for the second half was simple: win more battles. The lads dutifully did the graft and ground out a brilliant 2-0 win. Goals from Cillian McConville and Rian Coffey sealed the result, while Robert Matei, deputising in goal, kept a well-earned clean sheet. Delighted with the progress — well done all!

U16B Boys Make it Three Wins in a Row with Victory Over Cregmore!

U16B Boys vs Cregmore

U14C Boys Win 4-0 Against Colga — Two Players Score First Ever Club Goals!

U14C Boys vs Colga

Solid 4-0 win for the U14C boys in NFP Park against Colga in the league. A tight first half but Oisín Kyne got the side into the lead on 15 minutes, with James Dunne scoring a second before half-time. The team kept control throughout and the afternoon produced a brilliant milestone — Andrei Ciornei and Pablo Manteiga both scored their first ever competitive goals for the club after joining four or five years ago. A clean sheet to top it off, with some great saves from goalkeeper Jamie Holland. Well done to the whole squad!

GU12C Girls Show Great Character Coming Back from 3-0 Down Against Bearna

GU12C Girls vs Bearna

The GU12C girls lost a tight game to Bearna, but showed tremendous character to fight back from 3-0 down to make it 3-2. Despite being all over Bearna in the final five minutes, the equaliser just wouldn’t come. Great football by both teams and Bearna were excellent hosts — the girls can be very proud of their effort!
