Dec 6th: U11 Div 7: U11Bs 2, Mallow 0

Despite a goal each from James and Eoin, the hugely depleted 95s were pipped at the post by a dogged Macroom. Short 5 players (through injury and sickness), the 95s went ahead twice on a bitterly cold morning in Macroom, but tiredness and the cold got the better of the 95s conceding 2 goals in the last 10 minutes. In fairness this was a tremendous performance by the 95s who played wonderful football. Despite having to play with just 10 men for a long period, it was Macroom's large bench that won the game, bringing on fresh legs and adventurous attacks.
