The return of the season suffered a stuttering restart as the cold weather played havoc with the ladies games. The 1sts were the first to fall as the 11am start proved too early for the dugout side on the front pitch. The 2s game had been called off earlier in the week and despite the lunchtime start the 4s game in Bray was also called off. The 3s were the only team that managed to play their game even though the conditions remained frosty. They unfortunately fell to a narrow 1-0 loss though.
On the mens side the 1s and 2s were the only teams to have games. The 2s drew 1-1 with YMCA in a late afternoon game that was also threatened by frost towards the end. Freddie Morris grabbed the goal that ensured the draw. Earlier on in the day the 1s were left frustrated as their four point league lead dropped to just 2 points. Despite leading 4-1 with goals from Mitch, Jonny, Huub and Harry, Railway came back to draw 4-4 in the last second of the game.
On the junior girls side the u8s , u10s and u12 all played mini games with Avoca. The 8s and 10s won all their games while the 12s had mixed results but a majority of wins. Well done everyone!
