Kynog Utd 6 – 3 Newbridge Town

A great match played in good spirit by both teams. An early goal settled Kynog as Joshua Lee found himself unmarked in the box to drive the ball home. Kynog nearly extended their lead but an excellent save from David Reidy (who had an excellent game in the Newbridge goal) kept out a Josh Harris piledriver. Kynog extended their lead as Ciaran Casey fired home after some excellent build up play from the Kynog midfield to leave the HT score at 2-0.

Into the second half and Newbridge got themselves into the game as Jack Lee Parnell smashed the ball home from a corner. Kynog hit back immediately as the move of the game saw Josh Harris and Joshua Lee combine on the left before firing the ball across goal for the onrushing Shane O’Connor to slide it home, before Lee got his second with a good finish. Kynog were well on top at this point and it took another fine point blank save from David Reidy to deny Josh Harris again. This seemed to give Newbridge heart and the last 10 minute were an even contest as Kynog extended their lead as Justin Reilly scored with a scorcher of a shot, before Scott Howe finished well when found inside the box, before Shane O’Connor scored his second of the day after another excellent move. Newbridge rounded off the scoring as Scott Howe scored with a lovely shot from the edge of the box. It was a credit to both teams that they tried to play football with the ball on the ground and short inter-passing for the entire match.
