Boys U15s: Samphires 3 v 0 Ballyhar (Scorers: Aaron Harty, Dominick Regan(Pen), Jayden Deady)
The 15s recorded another win last Saturday in a busy day for the club in Fenit. We didn’t start well in this match with a lot of misplaced passes and too much dribbling which led to us being dispossessed repeatedly. Ballyhar repelled us easily for a long time before eventually we found our rhythm, but it took till the second half for us to open the scoring through Aaron. Dominick added a second with our second penalty of the game and Jayden made it 3 from a corner. A sluggish performance overall against a game Ballyhar team.
Girls U13s: Samphires 3 v 0 Killarney Ath (Scorers: Siofra Murphy (2), Elisha Deady)
Our U13 girls had their first home match of the season against Killarney Athletic on Saturday. We started very well and were on top but it took a long time to break down a tough defence. Eventually we scored from a counter attack down the right through Siofra. In the second half we added another 2 but had to be vigilant all through against a game Killarney team. The back line was superb and was the foundation of this win. Our GOTM was Aoife Trant who had a fantastic game Well done girls.
