South Down U14 Football League (Section 2A)
Monday 29 May @ 730pm
Cumann Pheadair Naofa V Mayobridge
On Monday evening the U14 footballers continued their section 2A league campaign with a match in Milltown against Mayobridge. Coming on the back of a good win the previous week against Clonduff the young blues were hoping for another good home performance.
Warrenpoint came out of the blocks flying and it became obvious early on that the Mayobridge team were understrength. Warrenpoint notched up 2.04 without reply in the first 15 minutes, C.Madden getting 1.02 with the other goal from J.Cole, the points coming from J.Howlett and N.Rice. On 17 minutes the ‘bridge got the first of their 3 first half points, all came from frees.
In the second quarter Warrenpoint, playing well but still misfiring on several occasions scored another 2.02, with C.Madden getting his second goal and J.Cole also raising the green flag for a second time. The points came from C.Frier and N.Rice.
This left the half time score 4.06 to 0.03.
The second half was only seconds old when J.Howlett got his first of two second half goals, a feat also achieved by S.McNulty. Joining them with a “3-pointer” in the second half was B.Lynch with arguably the score of the match. Between the 2 goals an on form C.Madden scored 3 points of his own. Mayobridge looked better in the second half and managed a return of another 7 points for their efforts.
In the last Fifthteen minutes Warrenpoint rang the changes and introduced 5 substitutes, in addition to a change made in the first half, all 6 played well and none looked out of their depth.
The final score was 9.13 to 0.11 and, with the other results going Warrenpoints way, this sees John Dalys charges at the top of section 2A. The next match is away to Rostrevor, on Monday the 5th of June.
