Against a strong Kenmare side Park started of slowly and within 5 minutes had gone 0-1 down, due to a lack of concentration by the backs  failing to put in tackles. Sean puts a ball through to john who then slips the ball out the wing to Jamel but his shot goes wide of the post  Shane takes a free kick a few yards outside the box and the keeper parries it to the ground and Conor Morrison puts it in the back of the net but referee gives offside  .

 

Kenmare go on the attack and another mistake by the defence allows their player to get in a 1 on 1 situation and round the keeper to make it 0-2′ Aaron  makes a run down the wing but his shot goes just wide of post , from another free kick from Shane the keeper gets a hand to it and Conor shoots wide and from the goal kick Kenmare mounted another attack to make it 0-3  Park are begging to settle down and sees john dance round a couple of players put the ball through to Conor who puts it back to Nemanja to Shane who sees his shot knocked over the bar for a corner. Conor takes the corner and Nemanja jumps high and with a powerful header puts it in the net to make it 1-3.

 

Just before half time.  Second half under way and Park attack with Aaron putting the ball through to john who slips it to Nemanja who flicks the ball with his heel to Jamel  but his shot is saved by the keeper. Aaron runs down wing puts ball through to Nemanja but it goes wide ;’another attack and Aaron puts the ball to Nemanja through to john who is pulled down and a free kick by James strikes the crossbar and goes wide. Kenmare get the ball and put the ball out on the wing and the player runs in and puts the ball across the goal and the keeper slips and another player is there to tap it in the net 1-4 Park take the ball up the pitch and with a rocket of a shot from Nemanja sees the keeper make another fantastic save; Aaron runs down the wing and sees his shot saved by the keeper Shane gets the ball rounds 2 players but sees the keeper make another save. Park mount attack after attack but see the keeper  save every one of them, then Kenmare get the ball and it ends up in the net 1-5 From a Shane free kick he puts the ball through to Conor but again his shot is saved, Aaron through to Conor and is then pulled down in box penalty. Conor steps up to take it and hits it high into the top corner but once again the agile keeper gets his fingers to it to put it wide for a corner’.

 

From the corner Kenmare clear the ball down the field and manage to slip the ball past the keeper to put the final nail in the coffin 1-6. Although you would think from the score line that Park were not in the game but they had the majority of the play and despite some great clearances from their backs  James, Dean ,Jack and Josh  were unable to convert their chances into goals  due to an outstanding Kenmare keeper who saved everything thrown at him.

 

Team– David , Jack , James, Josh , Dean , Aaron , Shane, Jamel , John , Sean , Conor Morrison   Nemanja , Conor Higgins , Dylan , Mike   M.O.M  Aaron Ward.
