Under 9 DDSL
Malahide United Vs Firhouse
Our under 9's have stepped up another division in the DDSL and last Saturday travelled out to the salubrious Gannon Park to play Malahide United.
Having won narrowly 3-2 at home last week to WFTA. they were hoping to build on the second game in this division.
In the first half we were playing uphill, and our midfield of Jack Warren, Charlie Gallagher and Jamie Murray struggled to get out of our own half and chances were at a premium. We were under pressure for most of the half and despite some valiant defending from Luke Devlin and Matthew Buckley, the home side eventually made the breakthrough to go in 1-0 up at half time.
In the second half, we responded well and with Warren fired up and with the introduction of Dara McGrath and Ben Meade, we started to carve out some chances. Cian Brophy, Warren and Gallagher all went close. Midway through the half, after a fine save by our 'keeper Ryan O'Neill, a speedy clearance found Gallagher, who slotted the ball through to Cian Brophy, who calmed slotted the ball past the Malahide keeper to equalise.
With the clock ticking down, it was left to our stout defence of Devlin/Buckley and our 'keeper O'Neill, to thwart the home side from retaking the lead. In the final minute, some good work in the middle of the park by Warren found McGrath, who released Jamie Murray to slot home with his left boot to snatch a late winner for the second week in a row.
Final Score: Malahide 1 - Firhouse 2
