The second half started 3-0 and Park had all the play with some beautiful ball play and one twos, Adam Sheehy linking with Leon Daly on the right who both had excellent games. The same thing was going on on the left wing with Mark Brick and TJ, midfield linking the two wings with Robert Vasiu and Connor Brick. After 15 minutes of the second half Robert made a beautiful break through passing four defenders and playing a perfect pass to Tiny who stuck the ball in the net to make it 4-0. Tiny had been working hard all game. Central defenders Ryan Guerin and James Charles were excellent throughout the game.
The final score 4-0 means Park are league champions with one game left to play. No less than they deserve as each and every one of the 14 man squad have worked hard all season.
Congratulations to all players.
Once again I would like to say well done to all the squad; you deserve it for all the commitment you have shown over the season.
Park B 1-0 Killarney Celtic C
The park lads started with purpose from the minute the whistle sounded and pressed forward at every occasion, Kevin, Junior and Colin took control in the middle third, with Mervin and Nathan raiding down the flanks. Killorglin were defending well though and with half chances from Mervin and Sean in the early minutes being blocked by a defensive blockade. It was all park pressure with the park lads passing and moving the ball with purpose and the raiding of the wingers finally unlocked the steely defensive on the 10th minute a fine movement on the right from Nathan to Junior in the middle who found Mervin on the left , a fine cross to Sean who smashed the ball to the net 1-0 up, immediately from the tip off the park lads pressed high up the pitch a ball back to Rhys saw him hit Mervin down the left wing who took the ball to the bye line to cross into Sean and with his left foot stroked the ball past the keeper,11 mins in 2-0 up, Colin unlucky not to fine the net with a fine strike that hit the cross bar with Nathan’s follow up diverted out for a corner.
This gave the Killorglin players heart and the next 10 mins had a purple patch coming close on a couple of occasion to be denied by fine saves from Gavin between the sticks for the the Park. Half time whistle 2-0 to the park.
A quick team talk and the park lads came out with a pep in their step and started to find their passing and move game again creating further half chances. Colin hitting the bar again, Liam came in for the injured Mervin to create another dimension, Nathan was on fir on the right side and 13 mins in the Park broke the hearts of the Killorglin side when Nathan hit Colin in the centre with a pinpoint pass for colin to drive a low shot to the net 3-0 up, The park management cleared the bench with Conor coming in for nathan, Armin for Kevin and Greg who was coming back from an injury, for Rhys.With fresh legs on the Pitch the park drove on and were the hungrier of the sides playing with confidence taking control of all sectors with the back four having little to do. Armin was showing great composure in the middle and with a fine pass to Colin who slid the ball thru to Sean, jinking past 2 players with a one on one with the keeper and a hatrick at stake there was only going to be one result as Sean hit the net with a fine left footed strike 4-0.
The final whistle and the Park were crowned Cup Winners!!
Well done to the Lads with a fine composed display of Total football, in the way it should be played.
The Park management would like to thank the Killorglin Squad and Management Team on a fine sporting game and kind comments at the final whistle it takes two good sides to make a great final and we wish them success in their league campaign.
