Castleknock Celtic  0    Baldoyle Utd  2

NDSL U-13D

7th March 2010

On a perfect morning for football Castleknock welcomed league leaders Baldoyle Utd to Porterstown.  The game started at a furious pace, with Castleknock having the best of the early exchanges.  This period saw them spurn two excellent scoring opportunities, and have a very legitimate penalty claim denied. 

Baldoyle gradually came more into the game, and showed on occasions just why they top the league.  Castleknock stuck to their task, and more than matched the league leaders. 

The opening goal when it came went to Baldoyle, and was a rather fortuitous affair.  HT 0 - 1 

The second half started with Castleknock again taking the game to Baldoyle.  However a very strong defence was making it very difficult  for them to create any clear cut chances.  

A Baldoyle counter attack  midway through the half saw them go two up, when a well struck shot from the right  of the penalty found its way to the net. 

Castleknock to their credit did not throw in the towel, and a  number of positional switches saw them again gain the initiative.  With ten minutes remaining a second very legitimate penalty claim was again turned down by the referee.  This effectively closed the door on any chance that Castleknock had of getting  something from the game.  FT 0 V 2.
