Carniny U10 2-3 Ardoyne

SBYL – Willowbank

A competitive game in the SBYL for our young reds this Saturday morning started fast, both teams working hard to get that first goal. Ardoyne got the first, but the lads battled hard, continuing to try & make chances through Harlow, with Billy, Nathaniel & Connor supporting on the wings. Alex had some chances only for a couple of good saves from the Ardoyne GK to keep us out. After conceding a penalty just before the end of the half which was converted the lads knew we had a tough 2nd half ahead. We came out much faster & sharper in the 2nd half, with some impressive defensive work from Isaac & Gary keeping them at bay. After some confusion in our own box, we conceded again, but a handful of terrific saves from Jake kept us in it. Gary took a long throw in from the right-hand side which made its way through to Connor who tucked it home. Alex came up with our second after a solid pass from Harlow played him in. Time ran out for us in the end after a hard-fought battle.
