Castleknock Celtic  2   Fettercairn  5

DDSL U-11 Cup

17th Oct. 2009

A harsh result on the CC lads after a game in which they had most of the play. CC took the lead through a fine strike by Brian McDevitt which went over the keeper's head. This was quickly reversed by Fettercairn and a second followed despite CC having most of the ball. CC equalised with a goal by Stephen Lynch and looked the better team. The two Ruairi's Mcloughlin and Dixon combined with a great run from Mcloughlin and a fine cross from Dixon . John Byrne made contact right in front of the goals but it sailed over. Fettercairne then scored what seemed to one and all from an offside ball to regain the lead.

The CC defence had held firm up to this and still kept their shape throughout the game. Dixon did break the defence after some fine play by Conor Mangan and John Byrne saw Dixon in on goal but the opposition's goalie pulled off two fine saves. The fourth from Fettercairn was a good piece of work from their number 11 and CC couldn't have any complaints.

CC never gave up, but the fifth goal for Fettercairn came as a complete sickener. The ball came off Hesam El Morsy's foot and was scooped up by the CC goalie Robert Duff. This resulted in an indirect free kick from 6 yards which proved impossible to defend. This was the end of a very chanllenging day for the CC lads. Man of the Match Ruairi McLoughlin.
