LEESIDE/KNOCKRAHA
0 YOUGHAL 4
Knockraha/Leeside
under 17 were at home to Youghal.We started the game with 9 from
the under 16 team and they played as if they hadn't played
together all season.The first half hour was even enough,but then our
centre-half Tom Crowley tried to huff the ball out of defence
but sliced his afford into his own net.5 Min's later a long kick
out from Youghal into our half,which again Tom Crowley seem to
have under control,But missed his header to allow the Youghal
forward in to score.Knockraha/Leeside were
being beaten to every ball all over the pitch.With 5 Min's to go
in the half Kevin Sullivan held onto the ball to long in
mid-field,when both Ciaran McCann and Richard Hyde were in on
goal waiting for a pass.Kevin tried to do it all himself,then
lost the ball that allowed Youghal to break up the
field to score.3 nil at half time.Second half we brought on Owen
O'Callaghan our sub and he gave away a free for a bad
tackle in his own half.A high ball into our box and again
we didn't deal with it and Youghal scored their fourth.Knockraha/Leeside
never tested the Youghal keeper in the game.Hopefully they will
improve for our next game.Best for us was Nick Duggan,need i say

KNOCKRAHA
LEESIDE 2 TRAMORE 0
Leeside/Knockraha under 13 were
away to Tramore Ath in the league on Sunday.The most encouraging
aspect of this game was the emergence of Comac Dooley as an out
field player because of an injury to Shane Carry our full back during
the warm up.Shane went into gaol and made two brilliant saves in
the first half.Leeside/Knockraha turned
in a battling performance in the first half playing up the hill
against the wind.In the second half with Jack Sheehan pulling
the strings in mid-field while Comac Dooley alot side
him started to shine.Then after 15 Min's Captain Chris Geary
proved a pinpoint pass for Shane Lotty to amble in to shot but
was denied by a great save by the Tramore keeper for a
corner.From the perfect corner Yusuf Gul headed it on for Shane
Lotty to head home for our first.The a great passing move
between Cian Readion,Nail Fouhy,Kevin Fenton and Yusuf beat the
off side trap to strike home from outside the box,2
up.It was a glorious win for Leeside/Knockraha
in our first season against a big club like Tramore.Best were
stand-in Keeper Shane Carry,Jack Barry,John James Sullivan,Kian
Burke,Shane Conroy,Waterford,

Our Under 17s were away to top of the table St
Marys and we were without star forwards Carian McCann,Danny
Farrall and Chris Hayden.Ricky Getts was playing his first game
at this levell and what a game he had scoring 3
goals.Leeside/Knockraha started well and had most of the
possession creating a number of good chances.on the 15min a free
kick from out-side the box from Nick Duggan came back of the
wall but when the ball came back to him,he struck it past the
wall and a Getts header flashed into the back of the net.5 min
laterLeeside/Knockraha made it two nil.With a corner from Tom
Crowley found Richard Hyde to slam the ball home.St Marys
came into the game and two awful mistakes from our Keeper Keith
Cotter cost us 2 goals and on the half hour St Marys broke
our off-side trap and as the forward raced towards goal,Keith
came off his line and jumped onto the forwards back for a free
and Keith was send off.Our centre-half Mick Craddock went into
goals .We held St marys till half time.Leeside/Knockraha manager
put Ricky up front on his own with the outstanding Tom Crowley
doing the hloding job in mid-field.That prompted Rory Ahern who
was having another poor game to work hard and more significantly
kept the ball moving to Getts.When Rory picked up a loose
ball and drew the Marys defence before sliding Getts
through to claim his second.Tony Conroy did have the ball in the
Marys net but obvious from an off-side position.Full back Alec
Sheehan missed his kick infront of goal,but the ball fell to
Getts to score from close range.Kevin sullivan was in control in
mid-field for us.But with 5 mins to go Rory ahern and Alec

Leeside's
under 9 team lost to Ballinhassig this afternoon.Leeside
started very well but fell behind after a mistake in defence.Leeside
went two behind before half time after being well in the game .Leeside
started the second half very well and got a goal back after a few
minutes.Stephen Horgan picked up the ball in the Ballinhassig half , he
beat one defender before blasting the ball to the net from twenty yards.Leeside
were now well on top but found a Ballinhassig defence in no mood to
give away any more goals.Leeside forced
corner after coner but each time Ballinhassig defended each one very
well.With a few minutes to go Ballinhassig broke down the field,a great
ball into the Leeside penalty area was missed
by the Leeside defender ,it fell into the
path of a Ballinhassig forward who finished like a true pro into the
bottom left hand corner . This was the final blow and dissapointment for Leeside
who had played so well and maybe on another day might have got a result
.Best for Leeside were James O Flynn and
Stephen Horgan.

Leeside
lost there second league game to Ramblers last Sunday after a great
performance by the lads.Ramblers started the better and went ahead after
ten minutes.Leeside came back strong and
scored through Robbie O Flynn .Ramblers went ahead again but again
Robbie equalized.Leeside were well in the
game now but couldn't break down a good Ramblers defence.The game was
level with five minutes to go and could have gone either way but it was
Ramblers who got the all impotant goal .Leeside
tried hard to get this goal back but then they gave away another goal with
time up.This was a great team performance and with a bit of luck could
have won this one.Stephen Horgan and Jack O Flynn played great
but Leeside's man of the match has to be two
goal hero Robbie O Flynn.
