Under 8 Match Report Kynog United V Athgarvan Villa 7th October 2007

Kynog Utd 1-4 Athgarvan Villa

 

Both teams started brightly and while Athgarvan put Kynog under pressure from the start, neither goalkeeper had to make many saves. As the first half wore on, Kynog came more into the match, but it was Athgarvan who opened the scoring through Cian Gobbett. Within minutes, Kynog came within inches of equalising as Josh Harris sent Adam O’Brien clear only for the Athgarvan keeper to save well. Into the second half and the pressure increased on Kynog as their younger players tired and although Johnny Byrne continued to be a rock in the Kynog defence, Kynog could not prevent Athgarvan going 4-0 up through further goals from Brogan Lyons,  Jamie Brophy and Niall O’Connor. Kynog finally got the goal that their early play had deserved when Joshua Lee first won and then converted a penalty.
