Under 13 Match report 21st Feb 09 against RidgeWay
result : st marys 1 v 2 ridgeway rv
victoria pk pitch 6 is not a good pitch it didn t help us in our quest for the points in the 2nd half.i know its the same for both teams.!anyway we started ok and were looking to get an early lead but we gave away a needless free kick , dec beare lost his man and he put the ball across and one of their centre halves stabbed home from 7 yds UNMARKED.their no.10 is a big lad and causes problems , he kept gregory and wee mcd busy but we were dominating and healy, walsh and wee aidan went very close to equalising.h-t 0v1.
the 2nd half was constant pressure , a nitemare 2nd goal,strange refereeing and ultimate frustration.closest we got was a good ball thru to wee aidan in the right channel he put over a great cross ,an wee mcd headed against the bar and sub j rhodes couldn t force the rebound in and it was cleared.rdgeway made it 2 nil after they got some possession after a terrible decision by the ref to give a free kick against callum, they got a corner , we cleared that , they got the ball back down in our right back area padraig and then ruiari failed to clear and the big no. 10 drilled a shot into losty s left hand corner.0 v 2. wee mcd pushed on and healy was back in centre midfield , jordan playing left side attacking and the back 4 pushed up . we had all the play now but only got a single goal to show , a quality delivery from ruiari and callum bundled the ball home.shots from healy, mcd and aidan all went by the post or at the goalie.at the death j rhodes had a smart semi overhead go just wide.
not the result we wanted but they battled and lets hope they take points off more of the top teams.
