The u-12a travel to Camp on Friday evening for our first 11 a side game. It was a dull damp evening leaving Tralee but when we arrived in Camp it was sunny and bright perfect conditions for soccer.
We started sluggish and Camp dominated the early stages. They were physical and very good on the ball and went 1 nil up. That seemed to wake us up and Martin Laucher latched onto a leon daly cross and was very close to the equaliser when he dragged his shot wide low to the left and again went close when he volleyed over the bar. In the second half we flew out of the traps and equalised with the maverick john o connor,following a 50 yard dribble from Sean McGrath beat to players a long the way drove into the box and and his cross eventually ending up at the feet of last years top scorer to tuck away a low shot. We then up the tempo even more with MOTM Dylan griffin really giving them trouble with his running in behind. And with Dylan forcing a corner we went in front with Cian Brosnan making a very clever run round the back to lose his marker and power home the header. We finished off the scoring Matt Healy with a neat finish.
We traveled out the with a squad of 18 and every player gave a great account of them selves. There’s plenty more work to do but the future is bright for this talented bunch.
