WINNING FORM CONTINUES FOR 10S

Carniny U10 5-1 Shankill Juniors

SBYL – Blyfield

This Saturday morning saw the start of our campaign in a higher league. The lads knew they would be facing tough opponents today, and it showed with a fairly even beginning to the game. Our first goal came from Gary at RB with a screaming shot from inside his own half. Shankill started putting on the pressure, but with Gary & Isaac holding solid in defence & some great closing down from our attacking players we keep the scoreline going into HT. The second half began with some proper pressure from Shankill & Jake our GK was put to work. Having already made a couple of saves in the first half he pulled out all the stops & tipped a well hit free kick over the crossbar. This spurred us on, with Harlow pulling the strings, supported by Connor, Carter & Nathaniel on the wings & Billy, or Alex up top. Nathaniel had a well hit shot rebound to Billy to get our second. This was quickly followed by solid goal from Alex (Gary assist) Connor played well from the left & tried to get on the scoresheet, but the Shankill GK did well to save it, Alex getting his second from the follow up. Shankill did pull a goal back, but this didn’t stop our wee reds who added a 5th from a fantastic header by Billy from a well struck Harlow corner.
