AVONMORE FC

Avonmore under-8s v Ashford under-8s - Our under-8s took on Ashford in Tullylusk where they held their own and had lots of fun with a great turnout of 16 players and also a warm welcome all our new players to our team.

Avonmore under-16s v Coolboy under-16s - Our under-16s kept up their good run with a great victory over Coolboy.

It was a very close game for the first 40 minutes with both teams having very little chances.

We brought on Tommy Hernandez at half-time and this proved to be the turning point.

We got a free kick just outside the box Cian Ward hit the ball it went over the bar but the referee had noticed an off the ball incident which resulted in a penalty, this came after the 44th minute.

Kelan Busher stepped up and buried it to the top of the net. We were pushing for another goal to secure victory but Coolboy hit us on the break and equalised in the 74th minute.

With time running out we hit a long ball from the backline and Tommy chased it down and just about keep it in play but as he went to turn he was up ended in the box. The referee blew his whistle and gave us a penalty.

Once again Kelan steeped up and scored. This was in the 80th minute Coolboy tipped off and put us under pressure but we held on for another three points with a 2-1 victory. Well done to all. Training Thursday from 7-8pm.
