"B" Squad Kick Off the New Year

On Saturday 19th January 2008 the "B" Squad kicked off the New Year with a home match against league leaders Malahide United. Weather conditions were simply appalling with constant rain making the going very tough on the pitch, but thankfully the excellent drainage system at Shanganagh Cliffs kept our pitch playable. The match started rather predictably with Malahide determined to press home their undoubted advantage of position, experience and, in someways, skill. Two early goals for the visitors seemed to invigorate the lads the "B" Squad under the direction of acting Manager, Ian M. Kane. They quickly found form and made the going very difficult for Malahide with a number of excellent chances on their goal. The second half opened with the lads of "The Town" refusing to allow the visitors an easy ride and despite another goal for the visitors, the lads kept up the pressure which finally paid off with a wonderfully executed goal from the "Most Improved Player of the Year" Johnson Goodwin (pictured right). Final score: DLTFC 1 : Malahide United 3 (Referee Robbie Kearns)
