Drogheda United U/17 v Cherry Orchard

Match Report

DDSL Premier Division
Drogs U/17 1 Cherry Orchard 3

The Drogs lost this game at St Olivers despite taking the lead after 20 minutes through a wonder goal from Anto Burke. The home side applied the early pressure with the aid of the strong breeze, but failed to create many clearcut chances despite having plenty of possession. The visitors equalised on 37 minutes when slack marking at the back post allowed them back into the game. 1-1 did not seem like a just reward for the Drogs efforts, but the visitors took the lead shortly after the restart. Despite plenty of effort by the home side, the visiting defence seemed to have all the answers and the Drogs fell further behind through an unlucky o.g. midway through the second half.

Team: Ross Walsh, Mark Fagan (Mark Grifffin), Sean Clarke, Stephen Larkin, Aidan Bissett, Ashley Hawthorne, Philip Kavanagh, Jack Kierans, Anthony Williams (Micheal McKeown), Anto Burke, Sean O' Rourke
