Match Report Saturday 1st March 2008 Under 12s Result: St Mary’s FC 2 SOPYC 2
A brilliant effort by the lads, all played their part in a great team effort. The under achieving U12's as was mentioned in last weeks North Belfast News showed that the hard work @ Edmund Rice and St Malachy's is paying off!. We took the lead after 15 mins, Paddy McD with a smart left foot finish that surprises Plunkett's centre half and goalie. A breezy day @ Strangford, had ourselves with the wind in the 1st half, I had hoped for a 2nd goal but we managed to allow their nos 7 Packie to shoot from a distance unchallenged and their nos 9 took advantage of a keeper error.
Into the 2nd half period and a Plunkett corner that on 4 occasions could and should have been cleared wasn't and a 3 yard toe poke was scrambled in. Deep into the last period into the strong wind, the likes of Gregory and Kevin were tremendous, with spirit and skill keeping us going. This was vital as good play led to McGreavy and McD combining and Paddy McD with a chest control and a volley finish from 10 yards. At 2v2Plunketts were desperate for the victory to win the U12 league but our effort and play meritied the draw. Great effort!
