MATCH REPORTS: Mari Mina Junior Premier Division Ramblers 6 Valley Rangers ‘B’ 0 Isaac O’Sullivan Paul O’Connor Paddy Prendergast Richard Stilwell Pa O’Rourke Aidan Trihy Our Junior team travelled
to Conna this morning to take on Valley B. The lads were hoping to take all 3 points here following their defeat to Kilworth at home last week. The lads started brightly and 5 mins into the game James Salmon ‘dinked’ the ball over the top into Pa who’s effort went just wide of the post as he poked it past the advancing home keeper. Three mins later Paul O’Connor had a shot from the edge of the box which went just wide of the post. And you could sense the goal coming, and it did on 12 mins as Cap- tain James Salmon played a lovely ball cross field to Pad- dy on the right wing who squared it to Isaac who put it in at the back post. On 20 mins Isaac won a free kick out by the left corner flag and Paul O’Connor stepped up and his effort went all the way and crept in at the near post! Fifteen mins later, we should of been three up as one of our finest missed from only a few yards but he later redeemed himself. HT
Valley 0-2 Ramblers. Our lads played well in
the opening half and cre- ated plenty of chances but their passes weren’t sticking due to the poor pitch con- ditions and our lads were frustrated because of this. The message
at halftime
was to get three and kill off the game because if Valley got one back it would then become a battle. And they did so as Paddy Pender scored 2 mins after halftime to make it
three! And the
boys couldn’t be stopped as a free kick out on the right went all the way into the far corner from ‘Stilly’. A magical goal! Our lads controlled the
game and
were never really under any major pressure as Darragh Curran had a quiet game in between the sticks. 12 mins later from the last goal Pad- dy’s cross met Pa’s head to bust the back of the net! A goal and an assist for Paddy! One minute later ‘Stilly’ hit a thunder bolt off the cross- bar, what a STRIKE! If he had got that one we would never hear the end of it! On 78 mins Aidan Trihy scored from a header to wrap it up at 6! And that’s the way it finished! A fine performance from
the lads and they were de- lighted to get all three points and get

Ballybridge Utd 2 Kyle Moloney Jack Curran Shane Coughlan Our 13s took to the Pab-
lo Park pitch on Saturday morning with 15 togged out which was great numbers but a lot of tired boys and girls after the Toy Show on Friday night. This showed in our performance but the effort was still 100% which is all we can ask for. The
saw great play from Shane Coughlan down the
opening minutes left
wing and his cross was headed just wide of the up- right as we looked to take an early lead. The same combination combined for the opening goal on 16mins with Shane again assisting from the left and Kyle this time scoring to the bottom corner with a right footed shot. Ballybridge equalized before the break from the penalty spot after A hand ball in the area and the score was 1-1 at halftime.

seventh games so
far were a good bit sharp- er then us on the day and while they won both games by two goals our lads played well below par and missing so many bodies (10 in to- tal plus 1 Coach) through sickness etc told in the end with some boys having to

play a part in both games. After the last
two weeks
our boys know now what it takes to play at this level and while Sunday wasn’t a good performance they know the can play a whole lot better then that and if they can play the way they did in the Limerick games they will be a threat to any team, the thing is to learn from games like last Sun- day, improve and move on. It still has been a good start to the season for our boys
eastcorkjournal The second half was end
to end and Jack Curran scored a lucky goal to be honest as he went in one on one with the keeper he mishit his shot but the keep- er misjudged it and it went under his body and into the net for the lead goal. With ten minutes to play the away side equalised with a good finish and it was all to play for but in the dying minutes a good team move started by Ben Lombard who had a fine second half was su- perbly finished to the net by Shane Coughlan with an acrobatic volley to win the game as our lads held firm for the remaining minutes. While not our best perfor- mance it’s great to win these games and we now have 4 wins from 6 games which is a great return for this group of players. Well Done all.
Round Tower Hotel Ardmore U11 League
Our U11s made the trip
to Melody Park today to take on Ballymac F.C in their final group game. Our boys have been playing well in their last few games and they were looking to keep that good form going again today. Ours boys started well and considering the poor pitch conditions, they passed the ball around excellently and scored plenty of goals! They put some lovely pass- es
great
together to score some goals
and enjoyed
themselves throughout the 50 minutes. While everyone got plenty of game time and got to try out new positions! Well done to everyone on a fine performance and 100

WWEC Under 15 League Ten Man Ramblers Unlucky not to claim a Point ! Ramblers 4 Valley Rangers 5 Josh Fitzgerald Kian Carey Ryan Heaphy Our u15s traveled to
Valley this morning and due to a few lads missing we only had 10 players but our lads battled and nearly came away with a point. We didn’t start the best and with a mix up in our de- fence one of our lads scored an Óg 1-0 Valley, but near- ly straight from the kickoff Kian and Josh played a one two and Josh finished lovely in the bottom corner 1-1. Valley soon went
2-1 up
but again our lads bounced back with some lovely play down the left from Nathan Born cutting into the box to set up Kian 2-2 but again with a mix up in our back line again another one of our lads scored another Óg 3-2 Valley and that’s how the half finished. Our lads started the second half real- ly well and it was 3-3 with some great work from Josh but again Valley took the lead with a fine finish into the top corner but our lads who were playing the better football to be fair kept going and with a fine finish from Ryan Heaphy bending the ball into the bottom cor- ner making it 4-4 our lads
Tipperary 3 Colm Leahy This game
finished the stronger but when we gave away a free on the edge of the box the striker bent the ball around the wall to make it 5-4 and that’s how it finished, a su- perb performance from our lads and very unlucky not to get something out of the game. Well done lads..

Jan
away v West Cork. We will know finalize
our Squad after having a number of players on tri- al, players and parents we thank for attending train- ing and matches over the last 6 weeks and we look for to the season ahead.
Game 1: WWEC 1 North all.
Tipp took the lead from a corner headed to the net at the back post for a fine goal but our marking was poor. They doubled the lead before the break and our boys were up against it. The second half
was
much better form our boys as the pressed the Tipp boys back for the next ten minutes and created a few half chances where Shay
Cotter and Colm Leahy were unlucky not to score. Tipp then caught us on the counter attack and scored a third and this took the wind out of our sails but to our boys credit they battled on and got a goal there efforts deserved as Colm Leahy scored from the penalty spot after good work in the bulid up lead to a handball. They tired to score again but time ran out.

we started this game qui- et bright for the opening 5mins with Tadhg Duffin and Stephen Montgomery playing well in midfield. Billy Marsh had a half chance early in the game but
the defence cleared
there lines and then Tipp were on top for the re- mainder of the half. They had numerous chances from distance but Gerald Nugent dealt
with them
very well as he had a good game between the posts. Tipp played the game in our half and the pressure told just before the halftime break as they scored to lead Continued on next page
