A good game of football from both teams in this U10c NDSL match at Hartsown CC .

In the second half Ratoath pressed and kept Corlett, Kestell and O'Shea busy at the back but a good run down the right got them the deserved equaliser. Ratoath's keeper made some fine saves to keep Huntstown out. Doherty and Noctor came close, but Lawal's finish broke Ratoath hearts in the end.

Match Report: St James Athletic U9

V Firhouse, 09-10-2010
Score: 1 - 2
Man of the Match: Sam Small
League: SDFL Premier League Cup
Division: Premier
Age Group: U9


The reverse fixture to the season opener which Firhouse won 5-0 was a much tighter affair, with Firhouse emerging narrow winners in a keenly contested game. The home team started the better and could have taken an early lead when Ross Chandler found space in the Firhouse box only to see his effort go narrowly wide. Firhouse took the lead towards the end of the first period when a free kick was headed home by their number 11. St James rallied after the break, forcing several chances only to be caught with a sucker punch after their keeper Sam Byrne made a fine stop only to see the ball slotted home from the rebound. A late reply from St James Tom Cullen saw St James pushing for a late equaliser. Firhouse hung on for the win.
