Day: March 9, 2013

We lost 2-0 at home to Richmond this afternoon. We were very sloppy for the first 20 mins and gave up two good chances which forced good saves from Piotr Oziast. After that we found our feet and started creating chances. Michael Murphy set Tadhg Collins clear and his first time shot went just wide. Minutes later Brian Murphy sent a ball acorrs the box to Collins but his shot was straight at the keeper. Despite this pressure it was Richmond who took the lead on 30 mins. We responded by creating another couple of good chances before half time but couldn’t convert. The second half saw us spend the majority of the time attacking and Richmond looking to break. Collins had shot blocked early in the half before Brian Murphy and Donagh Murphy had shots off target. Collins was through on goal with 20 to go but his lobbed effort went just wide. With 10 mins to go we were awarded a penalty when Collins was bundled over in the box but Tim Kiely saw his shot saved. Richmond got a second on the break with a couple of mins to go so seal the points. Best for us on the day were Oisin Murphy and Donagh Murphy. – by Tim Kiely
