31/3 U9 Jimmy Higgins Shied QF Malahide United vs Kinsealy

It was a beautiful moring. It was a great day for a match. The players stepped onto the field ready to begin the match. Malahide United scored their first goal. From the center line Darren whacked the ball into the goal.

Kinsealy then came charging right at Malahide United and Kinsealy scored their first goal.

Then Kinsealy were about to score a second goal but Peter kicked the ball away. Then eventually the game went into extra time. Would Malahide United prevail over Kinsealy or would they fail?

Everyone was shocked when it went into penalties. Malahide United tried but in the end Kinsealy won. And everybody played great.

24/2 MALAHIDE UTD -2 GRANGE WOODBINE -1

Coming off a 3-0 win against Rivervalley last week, confidence in the Malahide camp was high. Both teams were well matched, but it was the visitors who scored first after 12 minutes. Malahide’s answer was a stunning equalizer 2 minutes later by Darren Woods.

With all to play for Grange Woodbine threw everything at Malahide in the second half but the defensive trio of Aaron Murphy, Emma Costello and Peter McEvoy were giving nothing away.

Shane Cronin and Luke McGahey were causing all sorts of problems for the visitors with some skilful passing and together with some great saves from Jack Natin in goal kept the score even.

It took Chris McDonnell to come off the bench and fire home a cracking goal 7 mins from the end to win the game for Malahide.

Despite missing Mathew O’Connell (on international duty) it was a stunning team performance with some great football being played.
