U8s CSL Non Competitive League
Ballincollig v Bandon
Our league kicked off with a big bang on the weekend of the 10th-11th down in the Regional Park. It was a brilliant sunny day, perfect for a match, and there was a huge turnout for the 3pm kick-off.
Bandon had the best of the play for the first period and the Ballincollig defensive duo of Jake Thomas and Eoin O’Callaghan had to dig deep to keep their team in the game.
The midfield dynamos of Ryan Forde, Christopher Twomey-Fahy and Ronan Hennessy, got stuck in and produced some fantastic one twos all across the midfield. Oisin McCormac came close on several occasions, but a great solo goal from Ryan Forde got us back into the game.
In the next period Jonathon McClean and Christopher got a firm grip on the Bandon attackers and cut out every single attack, they cleaned up completely at the back, but when the goalkeeper was called upon, up stepped James McArdle and made super saves. James was very brave in goal and Bandon found it very hard to get the ball past him. Dylan O’Flynn was introduced on the left wing, along with Evan Cooke, and they made a great impression on the game with their skillfull play and superb tackling.
In the last period, Ballincollig’s dominance started to show, with a trio of super goals that you wouldn’t see in the Champions League. Ryan Forde bombed one in, and nearly broke the net. Eoin O’Callaghan took a ball off the line and set up an attack for Jake Thomas to slot home his first goal of the season. And to finish it off, Ronan Hennessy finished off a fantastic move to score his first goal of the season. Well done lads.
