U13’s V Listowel Celtic
Under 13 League
Killarney Athletic 3 Listowel Celtic 2
Talk about making hard work for ourselves! Despite being in control from the start this game should have been put to bed within 15 minutes. Jordan Kiely scored in the first minute to start the ball rolling but despite coming at them in waves…we just couldn’t put the ball in the net! Good work from Danny Healy, Caiman Mangan, David Sheerin and Chris O’Meara went unrewarded until Jordan Kiely scored a cheeky goal to go in 2-up at half time. Time to warm up the subs for a run until a defensive error allowed Listowel back into it at 2-1 and put us under pressure for a change. Sean McGrath then popped up to meet a neat pass to ping the ball into the top corner and restore order to the score! But a dubious penalty decision against Dylan Trant allowed Listowel finish the game at 3-2. Special mention to the Athletic sub bench who had waited patiently for their chance to get involved despite the terrible weather – your involvement in this squad is the backbone of its current success and your time will come. Well done all!
