2. This week’s results round-up: A great win for the M1 against reigning national champions Lisnagarvey with a stunning, controlled performance. Josh Gill’s backhand strike in Q2 and then a Ryan Spencer-special made it 2-0 just after half-time, flicking over the goalkeeper’s head from the baseline! Garvey got one back from one of only a handful of chances they created with a few minutes to go but we held on for a super win. Great to see a good crowd out with lots of youngsters on the sidelines. The side play again on Sunday at 2pm against new league leaders Pembroke at Serpentine Avenue.
Elsewhere the W3 made it four wins from their last five outings to storm into round two of the cup with a 5-0 win over North Kildare. The M4 got their second league win with two Stephen Findlater corner hits either side of a brilliant Don Gray individual goal made earned a 3-2 win, also against North Kildare. For the M5, a 3-2 loss in Clontarf despite a first goal for the club for Justin Miller and a third in successive games for Graham Byrne.
The W4 went all the way to a shoot-out against Enniscorthy – third in the division above us! – after 0-0 in normal time; Chiedza Walsh was on the mark in this phase but the visitors ultimately prevailed 3-1. And for the W1, they had a tough day on the road against Portrane with a 4-0 loss.
On the youth side, a great win for the Minor girls who beat Muckross 3-0 with goals from Dahlia Durkan, Amy Hargaden O’Connor and Izzy Quinn. The U14 boys won against YMCA.
