MACROOM FC ROUND-UP:

ACROSS the club there has been plenty of activity over recent weeks.

In the adult sections, Macroom A are off to a flying start in the Premier A league, winning their opening three games. The first of these was a trip to local side Rylane Celtic where Macroom recorded a fantastic 2-7 win.

This convincing result saw goals coming from Keith Holden (3), Andrew Hegarty, Craig Ronan, Michael Browne and Declan O’ Riordan. It was then followed up by victory over Waterloo with Holden and Hegarty again on the score sheet in a 2-1 result. And a tight affair against visitors Tower FC at Murrayfield ended in Holden scoring the only goal to secure the points. Paul Farrell, Ryan Creed and Conor O’ Sullivan performed well in this game.

Macroom B have also been going along nicely with an important win coming in the President’s Cup. This was a 5-3 home win over Parkview Celtic with goals courtesy of Sean Quinn (3), Sean Horgan and Szymon Sanetra. Macroom now take their place in the quarter final draw. Following this impressive win, it was back to league action when Ballinhassig arrived at the Town Park. Sanetra was in top form in this encounter and his hat trick proved invaluable as Macroom ran out 3-2 winners. A 0-3 nil FAI Junior cup defeat away to Premier side Buttevant was the result last Friday night. Despite this, it was still a good performance against higher ranked opposition.

In schoolgirls games, Macroom U10s played their first home game of the season at Murrayfield versus Ballincollig. These games are non-competitive and very enjoyable. Both sets of players enjoyed the morning and the teas and coffees laid on for the parents and supporters were most welcome.

Macroom U12s welcomed Midleton to Murrayfield in the Premier league. This was a tight affair and although the home side had the best chances the game finished at 0-0.

At underage schoolboy level, the U15 side had a fine win away to Lakewood Athletic by 6 goals to 2. Jack Martin (3), Kacper Smardz, Sean Murphy and Mark Hunt scored in a great team display.

In the U12 sections, Macroom A defeated Fermoy A 5-3 at Murrayfield. Macroom U12 team had a well merited 2-0 win over Passage. Goals by Max Hadjuk and Steven O’ Sullivan.

Macroom B Under 12 gave a great account of themselves but were defeated 5-0 by Carrigaline. The Under 15A team defeated St Mary’s 5-2. The U11 boys have recently been in action, playing 4 games v Tramore Athletic and also lining out against Temple Utd.

Well done to all players, management and supporters.
