U-13 Division Section B
Party Athletic 0 Killala 1
Killala U-13′s kept their league ambitions alive but just about after they emerged victorious after a 1-0 win away to Partry Athletic this Wednesday evening.
Killala lost thier captain Keith Higgins, and defensive linchpin, after only a minute had been played due to an ongoing knee injury that forced him off the field.
Killala made the breakthrough after 5 minutes when Killala’s Nathan Browne put in a cross from the right hand side that somehow found its way through a bunch of players to find Kieran Lally who poked the ball home.
It turned out to be what could be a vital goal in Killala’s league campaign because it was end to end football for the remainder of the match.
Although there were very few shots on target from either team both goalkeepers dealt with them comfortably with Killala’s keeper being slightly the busier.
What was an enthraling game for the local supporters to watch it left both sets of managers biting their nails and ruing missed chances especially Killala’s Kyle McLoughlin who’s shot agonisingly wide late in the 2nd half.
Partry to thier credit threw everything except the kitchen sink at Killala including the goalkeeper but the defense held firm.
Killala Team: D Walsh, R McGuire, C Mooney, D Lawlor, K Higgins, A Kenny, K Healy, N Browne, K McLoughlin, S McAndrew & K Lally.
Subs: A Kearney for K Higgins (1st Minute), D Collins for A Kearney (55 Minutes), B Lawlor for D Collins (63 Minutes), C McHale, P O’Donnell
