Wins for Macroom FC U14 Girls while U12 and U15 Boys suffer narrow losses

UNDERAGE: Macroom U12B lost out 2-0 to Riverstown in the league at the Town Park. In a close affair, the visitors scored at crucial periods of the game. Best were Diarmuid O’ Donoghue, Daniel Keane and Jewel Ravindran.

In the U15 Premier League, Macroom lost 2-1 to Corinthians. Things were going nicely following Patrick Kelleher’s opener but Corinthians replied with two goals of their own.

Macroom tried valiantly to get the equaliser but time ran out. Another good performance against traditionally strong opponents. Mark Hunt, Ryan Leahy and Dylan O’ Riordan played well.

The U14 girls travelled to a sunny Kinsale and had a big win. A great performance and turnout from all players.

Lakewood Athletic hosted the Macroom U8 and U10 girls’ sides. An excellent morning was enjoyed with both teams playing several matches.

Macroom Youths won their opening fixture in the FAI Cup. The long trip to Youghal Utd was worthwhile as a superb display gave Macroom a 4-1 win. Daniel Cotter with two, Pawel Osnowski and Caelum Lynch were the scorers.
