It was sunny but cold and showery for the league derby between Park under 12 B and their next door neighbours Tralee Dynamos U 12 B.
The game got under way at 6.25 and it took Park 5 minutes to settle. When they did David (Tiny) Callaghan got the ball on the edge of the box and made a lovely pass to Matt Healy who opened the scoring with a lovely goal. After that Park were in control doing most of the attacking and just before 20 minutes Matt got the ball, passed it to TJ Heaphy who had been switched from his normal left back position to play on the wing and he fired a beautiful shot into the net. 5 minutes later saw a carbon copy, again Matt found TJ who blasted another into the net.
The second half started 3-0 and Park had all the play with some beautiful ball play and one twos, Adam Sheehy linking with Leon Daly on the right who both had excellent games. The same thing was going on on the left wing with Mark Brick and TJ, midfield linking the two wings with Robert Vasiu and Connor Brick. After 15 minutes of the second half Robert made a beautiful break through passing four defenders and playing a perfect pass to Tiny who stuck the ball in the net to make it 4-0. Tiny had been working hard all game. Central defenders Ryan Guerin and James Charles were excellent throughout the game.
The final score 4-0 means Park are league champions with one game left to play. No less than they deserve as each and every one of the 14 man squad have worked hard all season.
Congratulations to all players.
Next game is on Sunday which is the shield final against Killarney at Camp community grounds with an 11 o clock kick off if anyone would like to support them.
Once again I would like to say well done to all the squad; you deserve it for all the commitment you have shown over the season.
