Tough competitiv­e encounter

-

JUNIOR FOOTBALL LEAGUE Glenville 1-11 Glanmire 1-11

After training by 1-6 to 1-1 after 15 mins Glenville did well to claw back into this game in what was a tough competitiv­e encounter. We introduced a nice few young players who did very well and added energy to the side. Level at half-time we dominated the second half possession wise but failed to push on in the scoreboard and we had to rely on a last minute free to level the scores. Still a lot of positives and great to see the fresh blood added to the adult teams. With the championsh­ip just around the corner a good game to help with preparatio­ns.

The C team play Midleton this Thursday at 8pm in Midleton.
