FAOI 14
Castleisland District League U14. Scart/Cordal 3-6 Ballymac 5-4
The match was played last Monday night in less than ideal conditions for the month of June. However the boys got there district league off to a winning start. Our play wasn’t great at times but the fitness levels of the boys has certainly improved following a few weeks of hard training. Aidan o Brien made some great forays forward from corner back and worked tirelessly throughout. He linked up play really well and picked off a lovely score on one of his bursts forward. Cian Godley also had a good night and gave some great ball into our forwards.
Half time Scart 2-3 Ballymac 3-2 Into the second half and we were playing with a strong breeze and we began to dominate possession. The introduction of Diarmuid Lynch opened up play and he drove forward time after time with huge purpose. Our opponents dropped a man back into the pocket to thwart our attacks. Dylan Dunne Moriarty scored a vital goal after moving to full forward and our defence stood firm against any threat the opposition threw at us. Dean Lenihan was another who showed great heart on the night and was first to the ball on many occasions. All in all it was a decent night’s return, but bigger challenges will lie ahead for the boys.
Best wishes to U14 player Brian Cassidy as he plays at half time in the Primary School game at the Kerry Vs Tipperary Munster Senior Championship game in Thurles on Sunday next.
