Good Luck to all the sides involved

Only 4 games over the weekend but they produced 15 goals - most of them for the Under 14’s as they won away to Clontarf 10-0 in the 1st Rd of the NDSL Cup - Ryan Travors grabbing a hat-trick with Dylan Masterson grabbing 2 goals - Nice to see Dylan returning to full fitness after his recent injuries. The scoring was completed with Dylan Mc Auley, Troy, John Jo and Ryan Keogh getting on score sheet too.

The Under 8 B team took maximum points against Swords Celtic in a 3-1 win on Sat morning on the A/W in a game you didn’t want to end as the football they were playing was superb. Kevin and Aaron (2) got the goals - Aaron’s second one from a free kick 20 odd yards out. The quick 1-2 passing between Kevin, Aaron and Jordan throughout the game was super to watch with Morgan, Mark and Slyvester defending well at the back. Gary in goal had a quiet game but pulled off some excellent saves when called upon. Jamie Lee came on in Midfield second half and he got stuck in from the minute he went on fighting for every ball. Jack was unlucky not to get on the score sheet with a couple of effots and Sultan looked dangerous when he went on his mazy runs down the full length of the pitch - nearly giving Manager Cesil a nervous breakdown as he was went to be playing as a left sided defender! This seide will only get better and better

The 9 PP side travelled to Clontarf and came away with a point after a 1-1 draw. John Byrne described the match as a tough game that they could have won but was content with a point.

The young Premier A side travelled to Bellurgan where they went down 2-1 with Colly Mc grabbing the goal. Excellent performances from the lads who came into the team (half the lads who travelled were under 23) with both the Bellurgan goals coming from chances that they got some luck with - a long range free that went through the wall and a miss hit clearence falling to the forward to slot home. The Bellurgan keeper was the busier of the 2 throughout the game and the Duff were unlucky and to come away with at least a point. CFC Team. Spud, Jenko, Mick M, Dave Mc, Ryaner, Dano (Paul McC), Lawlor (Baz), Jock, Dowler, Speedy, Colly Mc. Not Used Karl O’B
