Neighbours clash as Coolboy visit Back Alley

NEIGHBOURING clubs often bring out the best in each other and this was certainly the case when Coolboy Rangers under-8s made the short trip to the Back Alley to take on the home team on two five-a-side games last weekend.

A very decent crowd of hopeful mammys and daddy turned up for this high octane feast of football and they weren’t disap- pointed for the most part.

One of the coolboy Rangers sides were quite strong and managed to harvest a tidy win for themselves with some quality football on show while the other game between the Rangers and Carnew teams produced something of a classic.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable encounter and the return visit will be one the Carnew AFC club will look forward to as they seek to gain revenge.

Goalkeeping skills were in abundance.

The clashes were hard but fair in this neighbhourly dispute.
