BALLYHEIGUE ATHLETIC F.C.: U-13 Result Ballyheigue athletic 6 and
Castleisland 2. Great display from the boys on Saturday. Carried a great
attitude into this game and played some very enjoyable football. We opened
the scoring after five minutes when Jordan Goggin finished well to beat a
good Castleisland goalie. Next it was Castleisland s turn to test the
Ballyheigue defence and they took a good chance to level the game. But
after this Ballyheigue never looked back and got two more great goals.
Thanks to Padraig Woods and a Tomas Gaynor volley that involved some fine
build up play from a lively Ballyheigue team. Half time 3-1. In the
second half Ballyheigue involved Ciaran Casey for Luke McCrohan and he
added great strength in the centre of defence Castleisland had an advantage
with a breeze at their backs, but this didn’t contribute to the outcome and
Tomas Gaynor again produced the goods to chip the ball over two defenders
and a goalie who was caught in no man’s land. Jordan Goggin made it five
when he headed home a Tomas Gaynor cross, but credit to Castleisland who
pulled out back on the counter attack. Sean Sheehan made it six to close
the proceedings.
