The wee hoops took on the mac b side today and what a game it was !
The game started of at fast pace with the wee hoops having most of the play. The wee hoops first attack on goal came from a strong challange on the mac midfielder from young Mulligan AKA the undertaker who won the ball and made a run from the halfway line to rightside of the Mac goal passing the ball to Mooney just outside the box who hit a powerfull shot which the keeper saved the mac tried to lift there game but a strong midfield of Brooks Conlon Mooney and B O'connor the Mac found it hard to get out of there own half the wee hoops continued to apply the pressure on the mac goal with A O'connor making some wonderful runs down the leftside and floating some cracking balls into the Macs box only for there BIG defenders to stand strong with 6mins to halftime Man of the match Conlon who played his best game today ever for celticboys was just amazing in midfield passing the ball to A O'connor who made a run down the line towards goal only for the mac defender to make a bad challange on the wee hoop ! From the freekick which the young man struck sweetly the mac defence cleared only for the Mac midfielder to pass a through ball to there striker who scored . Half time talk the Wee hoops were still as shocked as everybody watching the game one sub at halftime mulligan off Macfarlane on with the kids all ready go back and play Macfarlane was given one instruction SCORE !!!
Ten minutes into the second half still all the pressure came from the hoops who were searching for a goal With cunningham playing out of his skin and playing some beautiful football passing the ball to Johnston who cracked a shot from 20yards just over the bar the lad was outstanding again up front. 18 mins in the Mac got a corner which one of there Big denfenders scored 2-0 .
With only 9 mins left the hoops never stopped constantly working hard applying more and more pressure on the mac. 8 mins the hoops win a corner rightside on the goal A O'connor floated the ball into the box which Macfarlane rose above the big defenders to head the ball which hit the cross bar !!!!! more pressure from the hoops cunningham and conlon working well together well passing and moving and a lovely pass from conlon was the moment in the game we all waited for passing the ball to Macfarlane who was like a greyhound using his speed and skill to twist and turn the Macs big denfenders and cheekly blast the ball into the top of the net the wee man took his goal well the cheers from the parents and the applause even from the macs parents was brillaint to see after the young hoops finished there celebrations there was still time to push for the draw but ths was not to come the score finishing 2-1 to the Mac.To sum up the game i must say that the wee hoops impressed with there skill movement battle fighting for every ball the shear heart that makes parents/guardians the proudest people.
