Seniors progress to the 3rd Round of the Jim Byrne Cup
Another great cup win from the Seniors on Saturday.We travelled all the way to Portmarnock expecting a tough game but to be honest we were dissapointed with the opposition.Although we had a very lack lustre first half we pushed on in the second half to great effect.Some words of encourement is all it took to get the team to play football and move forward of which the opposition had no answer.The two goals both came in the second half ,the first a quick break from Ken Bynre which saw him out run the opposition and out smart the keeper with a bullet of a shot from 15 yards, pin point I might add.The second was a breaking move from the back which saw Frank McNamee pick up the ball at half way, go on a run that would seen him beat two players, have the composure to stop have a look and slot the ball across the box to Matt Grimes who slotted home, probably the most unselfish act on the pitch this season as most players would have tried from a difficult angle .Overall a very well deserved win and the cup specialists push on……
