Mogeely 2
Ballymac 0
Following a night and morning of wind and rain the weather cleared up for this afternoon fixture in Mogeely. Mogeely were looking to getting back to winning ways in their league campaign following their exit from the SFAI national cup last weekend. The team started with Matt in goals, Oran, Chris & Evan in defence. Alex, Ciaran & Cian B. made up the midfield with Andrew S. and Darius leading the way.
Mogeely started well, moving the ball around and getting a couple of shots off forcing the Ballymac keeper into making some excellent saves. Ballymac created a chance of their own getting in one on one with Matt who stood firm to deny a Ballymac opener, this was backed up by defenders Oran & Chris getting back to help clear the lines.
Mogeely were playing well and in control for much of the half. Evan and co-defenders were doing their jobs efficiently as ever. Alex, Ciaran, Cian B. were working hard in the middle of the park. Jake, Aaron and Fionn were introduced during the half and kept that work rate going with Andrew S. and Darius looking for that goal to break the deadlock.
The second half started nil all however within 4 mins of the half Ciaran was to change matters with a fine goal from distance. Alan and Andrew M. made their introductions into the game and fitted in seamlessly getting off a few more shots on target. Nearly halfway through the half and Ciaran doubled his lead with another distance shot. This was how the game was to remain with both sides creating a few more chances only for both defences to stand firm.
All players on both sides played very well today in a competitive game!
Mogeely Team:
