Week 14 (18 July)
RESULT: WIN 6-0
SCORERS: ANDY, IVAN (3), EDEN (2)
Another solid win today over Carlingford Redbacks, 6-0. Down to the bare bones in numbers again, no subs, we got off to a slow start on a very chilly morning on a very muddy field. It took the boys a while to warm up and it was 15 minutes into play before we scored our first goal – a nice one by Andy followed closely by an excellent pick up by Eden when the ball bounced back onto the field off the post, he caught it on the rebound and kicked it in.
The second half saw the pace pick up a little, halfway through Harry injured his knee and we had to change goalies and bring Mitchell out for the rest of the second half. Our goalies were not challenged in either half (apart from a runaway ball which fortunately didn’t make it into our goal mouth), so this was no real problem. The highlight of the game was 3 fantastic goals from Ivan – from the right hand corner some distance away from the goal he struck the ball perfectly each time and each time it hit the target – nice work Ivan! Man of the Match material if ever I saw it. Eden also scored one more for us making it 6 nil, a nice wrap up. We look forward to having our numbers up next week to make things a little easier for the team but good work today boys; you all worked hard and got a great result.
