Sun, 27/Jan: Challenge Match: Blarney U10s 2, Lakewood 1, O'Shea Park, All Weather

Blarney U10A's took on a Lakewood U10 team that competes in the U11 Division 4 League. Blarney started very well and had a number of chances on Lakewood's goal but were not good enough with their finishing. Lakewood took the lead due to a lack of communication between Blarney centre backs and the Lakewood's player's finishing was excellent. Blarney settled again quickly and their passing and tackling was very good and it paid off with a goal by Bryan M to level matters. At half time it was one each. The half time talk did the lads well and they played football like it should be played, on the ground with plenty of movement and support. Matthew F and Peter B were very influential in the 2nd half and David and David T were rock solid in defence. Blarney had great chances from excellent corner kicks from Jamie H but again they could not find the back of the net. The sun shone on the day and as the match went on players were getting tired. Blarney kept passing and progressing towards goal and some fine play by Peter B led to Blarney's winner scored by Bryan M. Man of the match; Peter B. Good performances: David T, David B, Matthew F. Team: Gavin K, Jamie H, David T, David B, Alan R, John O'D, Aaron B, Mark C, Terry M, Matthew F, Bryan M, Peter B, Cian 'O, Ryan K, Padraig 'O
