Clashmore Ramblers F.C
Form: W W L L L L W

Clashmore Ramblers started far quicker than Castlebridge and quickly went into the lead. Clashmore went further ahead before Castlebridge's, until recently goalie, Shane Hussey latched onto a neat through ball to reduce the deficit. Castlebridge were then awarded a penalty which Jack Reals coolly put away low into the corner. Clashmore again took the lead just before halftime making it 2-3 at the break. The second half was a tense affair. Oisín Cronin scored a lovely goal rounding the keeper before slotting it home. Castlebridge looked the stronger team at this point, but Clashmore scored with about ten minutes remaining to take a game that could easily have gone either way.

Final score: Castlebridge Celtic 3 - 4 Clashmore Rangers

In a hard fought game Castlebridge just edged out a win by a one goal margin.

On a night perfect for good football we were served up a feast of exciting action. There were nice passing moves from both sides and plenty of frantic goal mouth action. The sides were level 0-0 at half time. Early in the second half a period of sustained Castlebridge pressure lead to Rhian Lenehan scoring with a crisp low shot into the corner.

Final score a 1-0 victory for Catlebridge.

First outing of the season for both Teams in this U16 league match. It was a lively first half with chances at both ends. Some good saves from the Castlebridge keeper in particular.

The second half saw Valley start to dominate proceedings and an excellent left footed strike by winger Jack Murphy gave Valley the lead. Valley kept the pressure on and scored a brace from Jake O'Brien in quick succession. A beautiful through ball from Cathal Collins was nicely converted by forward Cillian Fitzpatrick and then Tom Hartnett finished a lovely move for the fifth goal. Castlebridge continued to push for a goal and were unlucky not to score towards the end.

Well done to referee Clive Good who had an excellent game.
