Under 14 Kynog United V Newbridge

Under 14 Major League

Kynog Utd  1    Newbridge Town   11

Newbridge Town made the visit to a wet Kynog Park and in a very sporting game of football came away with the points with a well deserved win over a young home team

Kynog Utd spurred on by Gerry Melia and Joseph Kenny in midfield were first on the attack winning a corner after three minutes but it was well cleared by Lee Kavanagh and Tom Aspell at the heart of the Newbridge defence. New bridge then won a corner after a great clearance from Eoin Kelly but Dylan Burke was on hand to get the first for Newbridge. Kynog with Craig Synes attacking on the left wing went close before Dylan Burke beat the last defender and scored his second. New bridge were well on top now with Ben Moran at midfield firing just wide and also forcing man of the match for Kynog  Craig Harris in goals into one of his many fine saves for Kynog. Eventually Newbridge got there third when Ben Moran scored,

Kynog Utd now play there best football and Gerry Melia and Adam Montogomery went close before eventually there hard work paid off and they got there first goal of the season with a lovely move involving Gerry Melia to Joe Kenny to Craig Synes who beat the newbridge keeper with a well placed shot. John Drennan and Jack Byrne were holding the defence tight but a series of corners saw Ben Moran get his second with a lovely header to leave it 4-1 at the break

Newbridge came out in the second half determined to finish Kynog off with Ben Moran and Alex Maguire pushing forward however Thomas O Reilly and Brian Elliott for Kynog were well up to the task. As teams tired in the heavy wet conditions and both teams emptied there benches Newbridge began to get well on top with Ben Moran get this third after fifteen minutes and a lovely header for his fourth. Christopher ward then scored and Dylan Burke got his hat- trick to see Newbridge score four goals in a six minute spell and put the match as a contest at an end. Kynog never gave up and Daniel Condon and Ade Teriba battled hard but with no luck. Alex Maguire’s shot was spilled and who else but Dylan Burke was on hand to finish before two late efforts from Christopher ward gave Newbridge a well deserved win. Kynog can take pride in there performance and only for a brief lapse in concentration they would have been a lot closer.
