Castleknock Celtic  3  Maynooth Town  0

A strangely subdued Castleknock team left this result in doubt up to the last 10 mins. Maynooth had barely one shot on target in the whole match but the score was still only 1-0 going into the final 10 mins.

Ryan O Donnell was wide of the target early on, which suggested this was not going to be his day.  One great cut back from John Roe was not converted, and then from another through ball his shot was over the bar. He then broke through but his effort was held by the keeper.  However, a sign of a good striker is that he keeps making the runs and eventually he ended this game with a hat trick!!!!!

This Castleknock team is struggling to find its top form, but today Conor Murphy stepped up to the plate and drove this team to victory.

With the likely return of 3 players next week, manager John Roe hopes that they will finally start to win more convincingly.  "At least we are on a reasonable run of results even if we are still not firing on all cylinders"

This team is slowly climbing up the table having won 3 and drawn 1 in  their last 4 games.
