U13 Boys: Samphires 0 vs 2 Listowel Celtic

In a close encounter in Arctic conditions last Wednesday night we gave a decent display but lost out in the end to a good Listowel team. We conceded just before and after half time but couldn’t find the net ourselves. Our switching of the play wasn’t as good as it had been recently and this cost us an amount of possession. Listowel were quite dangerous on the counter and Jayden and Dominick had to be on their guard. As it turned out the 2 goals were shots from outside the box with midfielders slightly out of position. We came back well after this with Aaron and Conor particularly dangerous. In the end it was 2-0 to Listowel.

U12 Div 1 Samphires 4 vs 1 Ballyhar (Scorers: Conor McGibney, Michael O’Sullivan,Mikey Corridan, Robert O’Shea)

Another terrific performance by the U12A team against a competitive Ballyhar under lights in Castleisland on Tuesday night. We dominated from the start and played some lovely football. The lads are really starting to take the training onto the pitch in competitive matches.

We scored after 15-20 minutes with a good finish by Conor McGibney after a fine cross from Paddy Hanafin was flicked on by Mikey Corridan.With Luke O’Carroll on one wing and Evan Lyons on the other, we were causing them lots of problems. We scored a 2nd after a long ball from Dara Harty put Michael O’Sullivan through to finish. Half-time 2-0

In the second half we scored two with a nice dribble and finish from Mikey Corridan and a break and finish from Robert O’Shea with Ballyhar scoring a good consolation in between.

Everyone deserves credit for this one but Evan Lyons playing left wing back was the standout performer with some dazzling runs and terrific passing.
