CYFC Colts u12s 4-0 Ambassadors
It was perfect conditions for football in Armagh as the Colts took on Ambassadors in the league.
The colts controlled this game from start to finish. The first goal came early from a whipped in corner from J. Jeffers was fumbled by the keeper and made its way over the line. The Colts defence of R. Rushe and T. Gormley kept a high line allowing the midfield four of E. McElhatton, J. Jeffers, J. Mulligan and T. O'Hare to push well into Ambassadors' half. A T. O'Hare attack on the left was passed inside to a waiting Matthew
Ward who slid the ball into the right corner of the net to go 2-0 up.
J. Mulligan tortured the Ambassadors' left side with both dribbles and well-delivered crosses.Another burst forward by T. O'Hare slipped a clever ball inside for man of the match J. Jeffers to strike sweetly into the top left hand corner, from the edge of the box. E. McElhatton broke down most Ambassadors' moves through the centre allowing the Colts to attack in wave after wave. M. Ward tried to link up with his strike partner Montgomery and as the ball deflected to the edge of the box Montgomery reacted quickest to spin and strike a pure effort low into the bottom left corner with the keeper having no chance.
At 4-0 going into the second half, the Colts introduced Djorkaeff, and Harry Jordan as wingers, Riley Cooke into defence and Cathal McKeever as the holding midfielder. Ambassadors defended in numbers to make it difficult for the Colts to score. The Colts never gave up with some nippy passing resulting in Ambassadors keeper making a handful of fantastic saves to keep the score at 4-0. A couple of Ambassadors breaks up the field were quickly extinguished by the ever reliable Colts Keeper Riley Watters who was fast off his line to intercept. A brave save at an Ambassadors striker feet also ensured there would be a well deserved clean sheet at 4-0.
The Colts look forward to a home fixture vs Dungannon Colts on Saturday.
Team: Riley Wattters , Rory Rushe, Tiernan Gormley, Ethan McElhatton, Jake Mulligan, Johnny Jeffers, Tommy O'Hare, Matthew Ward , Ethan Montgomery, Djorkaeff De La Sousa, Harry Jordan, Riley Cooke, Cathal McKeever.
Dungannon Youth 1 - 3 CYFC u12s
Cookstown started really brightly and put Dungannon under pressure very early on in the game, should have taken the lead when Aodhan Loughran beat his man and cut inside on his left...
