11th April update

U12 Cubs played two games this week but were disappointed to be beaten in both- on Tuesday they hosted Strand Celtic and despite a much improved performance from an earlier meeting lost the contest on a score of 4 goals to Nil. On Saturday they travelled to Ballisadare but with w a depleted squad were out performed on a score of 5 goals to Nil. They have one game remaining in this years league, an away trip to Merville on Friday evening. Training Tuesday @ 5pm------ The U14 Boys travelled to Gurteen on Saturday in the League Qtr Final knowing a win would reward them with a home fixture to Yeats in the semi final. It was a game in which we had several chances to put the home side away but despite good pressure were unable to convert it into scores. The game finished level at 1goal apiece after extra time but Villa lost out in the penalty shoot out. This was a very disappointing result but full credit to the lads for their hard work all season. Well done also to James Hynes & Eoin Conlon on their first year managing the lads.-------- Villa U18 Girls were defeated by Yeats Utd, in what was a poor 1st half Villa took the lead from the penalty spot 5 minutes before the break, Megan Duffy converted. Yeats came out a different team after the break and got 3 well taken goals and were it not for Villa keeper Sinead Hallinan it could have been more. Villa's 2nd goal, from the penalty spot 10 minutes from time was again dispatched by Megan Duffy. Dromore Villa 2 Yeats Utd 3. Next weeks game away to Strand Celtic is a must win game for the girls.------------ On Sunday afternoon Dromore Villa hosted Cartron Utd in the Mc Sharry & Foley Cup and were convincing winners on a scoreline of 3 goals to nil.
