MASTERGEEHA FC
UNDERAGE Training finished up for the season on Easter Saturday in the glorious sunshine. All trained well and had lots of fun over the season. Many thanks to parents and guardians for their support. Special thanks to all the trainers and the helpers for their time and effort on Saturday mornings. U9 and u10 will finish next Saturday with games at home versus the Park.
U16 - Killarney Celtic B 6 Mastergeeha 3. The lads lost their 100 per cent league record following defeat to a strong Celtic team. They started well and took the lead on 10mins following good work by Philip O’Leary and really should have scored more but failed to take any of the many chances they created with the home GK outstanding. They went in 2-1 down at HT following two quick-fire Celtic goals just before the break. Darragh O’Riordan levelled matters early in the 2nd half after an O’Leary free quick was parried by the home GK but the home side responded to open up a 2 goal lead. Paudie Murphy then slotted home following good work by Cathal Ryan but the home side responded again and held on for the 3 points.
U18 - Killorglin 1 Mastergeeha 1. In a close encounter the boys were disappointed to come away from Killorglin with a point. Mastergeeha created the better chances in the first half with James Lynch and Cian Fahey. In the second half Mastergeeha pushed forward but it was Killorglin that took the lead on the 70th minute. After this Mastergeeha were the better side and got the equaliser when Cian Fahy scored following a corner by Danny Cronin. After this Anthony Darmody, Tomas Holoan and Conor O’Leary when closest to getting the winner. All played well.
DIV 1B - Mastergeeha 0 Listowel 2. Listowel lead by a goal at the break after playing with a strong breeze. In the second half Mastergeeha pushed forward with Colm Lenihan, Alan Brosnan and Gearoid Kerins all going close for the equaliser. In the final minutes the visitors added a second to ensure the points.
