Promotion for Utd’s U15a side
MALLOW United’s U15A team secured promotion last weekend when a 0-0 draw at home to Ballinhassig on Sunday was enough to finish runners up in Cork Schoolboys League Division 5.
With an impressive record of eight wins, two draws and only a single defeat, promotion for the Mallow boys is well deserved.
Mallow United U/12 girls progressed to the final of the CWSSL Shield with a convincing win over Park United at St. Mary’s on Friday evening. Mallow were in dominant form, putting six past their opponents from Mitchelstown with Lois Asante getting all the Mallow goals.
The reward for Mallow is a trip to Turners Cross where the final will be played on Tuesday, May 21 with a 6pm kick-off.
All three Mallow United U/13 sides were in action at the weekend. In the U/13 Premier Division, Mallow maintained sixth position in the table with a 1-1 draw with Blarney United.
Mallow United U/13B had a great win over Kinsale on Saturday in the Academy Pitch. Mallow went a goal down after ten minutes but Anthony Jenks pulled one back after 20 minutes and the game was tied 1-1 at half-time.
Mallow got the upper hand in the second half with Jenks scoring two more to complete his hat-trick and Liam Walsh getting a fourth for the home side. Final score: Mallow United 4 - Kinsale 1. The three points keeps Mallow in second place in Division 4 of the Cork Schoolboys League and firmly in the hunt for promotion.
In U/13 Division 6, Mallow United U/13A had a 2-0 win over league rivals Lakewood Athletic. Mallow currently sit in second place and the win sees them open up a gap on those below them in the chase for promotion. Andrew Sheehan and Craig Hogan got on the scoresheet for Mallow.
The Mallow United Summer Soccer Street League for Kids is just over two weeks away. The weekly 7-aside soccer tournament will take place every Tuesday at 6.30pm from June 5 to June 26 at St. Gobnait’s Park, Mallow.
All boys and girls born from 2008 to 2011 are welcome to come along each night.
