Under 10A qualify for Under 11 DDSL Premier

Playing for the first time under the newly introduced 9-a-side format the team did not have the best of starts in the DDSL 10A League, claiming only 7 points from a possible 30 before Christmas. With four draws and three of the games lost by a single goal the chances of Premier football next season looked very remote.

However, with an early return to training in the new year and with a target of 30 points from 10 games set by the Managers we looked forward to a more successful second half of the season. The players worked extremely hard at training, turning up on two atrocious nights in Gannon Park, when we were the only team training . During matches the players focus and commitment was now 100% and with the unwavering dedication to training paying dividends we started winning games against teams that had beaten before the Christmas break.

A storming second half to the season saw us take 25 points out of a possible 30 to ensure that a Malahide United team qualified for the DDSL 11 Premier for the 2nd successive year.

A fantastic effort by all the players, each and every one of them. Thanks lads.
