We picked up another three points on Saturday and are now guaranteed a place in the league semi finals . On a very windy day we started against a very strong wind but took control of the game with some patient passing very early on . The opening goal came from Ryan Dolan who from twenty yards on the left side of the pitch curled the ball into the far top corner for an outstanding opening goal after 16 minutes . The remainder of the half saw us dominate the possession stakes without creating many real scoring opportunities . AC Atheltic levelled the game just before the half time break when some sloppy play outside our own area left them in to score .
The second half started and the wind decided to change direction and go against us again . This didn’t seem to phase the team who had now started to pass and move more sharply . We went back inform on 53 minutes when Dwyer Tobin drill the ball low across the face of the goal to where Aaron O Keefe came in at the back post to roll the ball passed the advancing keeper . Twelve minutes later we extended our lead when Fergal Ryan decided to round three players inside the penalty box before rolling the ball passed the keeper from six yards out . From here on we should have pushed on to kill the game off but a horror pass from our keeper Conor Hurley was intercepted and fired to the back of the net to bring AC Athletic back into the game .
Within two minutes we regained out two goal lead when a Dwyer Tobin volley from outside the penalty area flew into the far bottom corner for a fantastic finish and a goal worthy of winning any game . We could have added to the scoring in the remainder of the game but for an offside decision being given against us on every attack that we had for the remaining twenty minutes .
We now have two league games remaining and one more win would make sure we finish top of the section and secure a home semi final .
