U14s Penalty Heartbreaker

NATIONAL CUP U14: Mastergeeha 1 Kingdom Boys 1 (3-5 on penalties AET)

This game played in ideal conditions in Kilbrean Park on Saturday last was a highly completive and close encounter between two fierce rivals. Early in the first half the home side’s jitters showed with Kingdom boys setting better with some half chance. However Mastergeeha defended well and limited the away side to shoot in from distance to leave the score at the break nil all. In the second half the Mastergeeha boys through good play and determination started to dominate creating a number or half chances. However midway through the second half Kingdom boys were awarded a dubious indirect free close in. They showed their clinical side taking full advantage to score through Adam Piggott. Following the goal the home team showed great character taking the game to the visitors. In the closing quarter Mastergeeha created the better chances with Gary O’Leary going close from a free kick. Both Ciaran Murphy and Enda O’Sullivan were unlucky not to score as the boys pressed for the equalizer. However the home side were rewarded with ten minutes remaining when Padraig Nagle scored following a rebound by the keeper following a shot by Gary O’Leary. Mastergeeha were now in command and forced a number of corners which had the visitors in trouble. In extra time both sides had good possession but no one could get the vital goal. Thus the dreaded penalties were called upon to determine the team to go through to the last 32. Again for all their effort luck was not with the home side with them making their exit.

U13s nine goal triller

U 13: Mastergeeha 5 Dingle 4.

This was a great match to watch, both teams just about equal in skill and fitness. Both teams started well and defending from both teams was tremendous. Dingle got their first chance to score when awarded a penalty, but were denied by our goalie Donal Leader with a brilliant save. Soon after Dingle did score from another great save by Donal, but only to deflect in off the attacking forward. About 5 minutes after Ciaran Doolan passed to Anthony O’Connor and he finished superbly .On the 29th minute Thomas O’Keeffe replaced William Leader and within 3 minutes headed home his first goal for the club. Then Dingle struck again with a great goal that really stunned us, leaving it 2-2 at the half. In the second half Dingle started the best, they through everything at us and
they did finally get a break-through with another superb goal. Now it is 3-2 to Dingle and time running out, manager and coach put together a few changes that paid off in the end, T J O’Sullivan playing a blinder in defence was not letting through, Jack Cahill put in a really good last 15 minutes putting attack after attack together and getting in some great crosses and was very unlucky not to score. Ciaran Doolan was getting a lot of possession and laid off some great passes, one to Daragh McCarthy which he struck from 30 yards and found the top of the Dingle net, and another back flick from Ciaran found Padraig Collins running through and he put it past the Dingle goalie with style. Soon after David O’Callaghan was introduced and put a great ball through to Padraig Collins again and made it 5-3 with a ball over the goalies head. Another attack from Dingle got them their last goal in injury time; it ended 5-4 to Mastergeeha. Another fine display from our lads, when the chips were down, they stood tall and came out on top, still top of the table in division one. Well done lads. Man of the match, the little man in defence T J O’Sullivan, what a game he had.
