Match Report U12 National Cup , Killarney Ath 3-2 Avenue Utd

U12’s SFAI NATIONAL CUP
Killarney Athletic A.F.C 3 – 2 Avenue UTD(aft)
Great win this afternoon for the young boys in blue in Athletic Park in Woodlawn. Athletic got off to a poor start and conceded a very early goal. It didn’t take long for the equaliser when a shot from Neil O’ Carroll found the bottom corner. Avenue looked very dangerous on the counter attack and this proved Athletics undoing just before half time, when their striker raced on to a ball over the top to make 2-1 to Avenue going into the break.
The second half Athletic kept up the pressure but Avenue always looked dangerous on the break with their very fast and skilful striker causing problems for the Athletic defence when he got on that ball. The equaliser came from an Oisin Lynch free kick, vollyed in the net from Thomas Healy who has now scored 4 goals in two games. The teams couldn’t be separated and the game went into extra time. With both teams going for the win it was Neil O’ Carroll who headered the ball towards goal only to come off the unfortunate Avenue defender and into the goal to seal the win for the young blues.
A very solid and good performance from Athletic today against a very good Avenue side, who we wish the best of luck with the rest of their season.
