UNDER 12 LEAGUE: STRAND CELTIC 5 COOLANEY UNITED 0
Strandhill Community Park
Our under 12 squad advanced to the premier division of the under 12 league with a comprehensive victory over a gallant coolaney united team on Saturday morning last. On a wild morning our pitch was in excellent condition and despite the gale force wind both teams tried to play football throughout.
Strand started well and an early Luke Nicolson goal settled the nerves for the lads. From there with Cian McGovern and Jack Keegan impressing Strand dominated until half time and added further goals from Cian McGovern and Jack Keegan.
Despite the best efforts of an excellent Coolaney keeper it was one way traffic in the second half as Strand added to their half time lead. This was an impressive performance with the back four well marshalled by captain, Ronan Redmond, and with the midfield of Cian McGovern, Mark McCallion, james Hampson and Aiden Kenny dominating it was from this platform that Strand built their victory.
This result sees the team qualify for the premier division with one game left to play.
Team: Matthew Cosgrove, Darren Harte, Cathal Henry, Ronan Redmond, Niall Murray, Jackson Smith, Cian McGovern, Mark McCallion, Ryan McManus, Luke Nicolson, James Hampson, Aiden Kenny, Dylan Doherty, David Hines, Jack Keegan. |
