Athea Utd

U/10 Division 2
Athea Utd (0) 0
Breska Rovers (1) 4
We were at home to Breska Rovers last Saturday afternoon and despite the scoreline the issue was in doubt right up to the closing stages when the visitors scored three late goals to get a flattering final scoreline. Breska started well but gradually the Athea boys started to get motoring with Danny Brady, Paric Enright and Alex McEldowney in defence getting on top while Evan Wallace was very solid between the posts. The skilful Eoin O’Shea and Andrew O’Riordan soon were beginning to put the pressure on the visiting defence and we were very unlucky not to take the lead when Andrew rattled the Breska keepers left hand post. Just before half time the visitors took a rather fortunate lead as our defence backed off from their striker and his shot deflected off a defender and just under the crossbar. The second half saw the visitors have more of the ball but didn’t threaten that much until the final few minutes with those three late goals.
All the squad played well at various stages and if they play as well as last Saturday its only a matter of time before they will be getting their first win.
Team: Evan Wallace, Paric Enright, Danny Brady, Alex McEledowney, Aidan Curry, Eoin O’Shea, Andrew O’Riordan, Luke Gleeson, Jack Hunt, Daire O’Shea, TJ Hunt, Eoin Sheahan, Tomas McEnery.

DESMOND YOUTHS
Last Saturday in Tralee the Desmond Youths played Kerry in the FAI Inter League and Athea Utd were represended by Kevin Murphy, Ryan Carroll and Ian Murphy. Kevin started at right back and Ryan at left back while Ian came on in the second half. On the day the Desmond Youths ended impressive four two winners with Kevin setting up the first goal while Ian scored their third goal. Their next game will be on the weekend of Saturday/Sunday, November 26th/27th when they will probably on December 17th/18th.
Well done boys.
