U13
Na Fianna 4 13
St Pats 5 08
St Pats U13s made very long journey down to Tuosist for the semi-final of the County League last Monday night.
The 2-and-a-half-hour journey definitely took its toll on our lads and despite their best efforts we were trailing by 9 points at the interval 4 06 to 2 03. Indeed, by 5 mins into the 2nd half, we were 12 down. From to the end of the game, we rallied to nearly pull off the great escape.
Unfortunately, time ran out just as Na Fianna collapsed with us 2 points behind.
Our lads gave over 6 hours on the night, so they deserve individual shout outs!
Daniel Celombijev has been a super new signing for us and is getting everyone very excited as his potential as a goalie.
Bruce McMillian had an absolute stormer of a game, not giving is man an inch. Paddy Flynn continues to grow into an excellent fullback. Darragh Murphy has without doubt improved the most of any player this year.
Cian O Reagan is a superstar in the making, quick, tough and extremely intelligent. Thomas Higgins was and is this team’s firefighter, always in the right place when needed. Darragh Sheehan, playing a grade up, looks like he has been playing football for years and never seems phased by anything.
Rian Flynn covered every inch of the pitch and ran himself into the ground for the team. Another exciting prospect, Jace Flynn is an assured defender, quick, strong and well able to take his score.
Noah Flynn was a dynamo, constantly moving while taking and creating chances. Darragh Flahive had the longest journey of anyone and still covered more distance on the pitch than getting there.
A hugely intelligent and skilful player, one to keep a close eye on. Cillian Enright doesn’t just talk the talk; he walks the walk.
He processes a lethal left foot and an unmatched drive. Oscar Curran is fast becoming a lethal corner forward, ducking and weaving his way behind the defence, causing havoc. Rylan Flynn has all the attributes to be the complete forward.
Jake Connolly continues to improve and made 2 extremely important contributions in the 1st half, setting up scores to keep us in reach.
Dylan Murphy worked himself into the ground giving everything for the team. As it was the long weekend, we had 8 absentees and no doubt they will earn their own shoutout in the near future. Training continues Monday night at 6pm.

St Brendan’s are now into the semi-finals against Laune Rangers on Wednesday 26th of June in a neutral venue.
