Games played 28th & 30th August

Villa had a worthwhile journey to Sean Fallon Park on Sunday 28th when they overcame MCR in a 7 goal thriller on a scoreline of 5 goals to 2.
Gary Hynes netted 2 and a goal each from David Culkin, Eoin Conlon and Fergal Kilgannon brought all 3 points home. 4 points from a possible 6 is an encouraging start to the season and Michael will be hoping for another big performance this Sunday when we host Real Tubber at 11.

On Tuesday our Junior Ladies were in action in the semi final of the cup with a home game V Ballisadare, on a perfect evening for football the first half was a very close affair with neither side wanting to concede an early goal. The 2nd half started as the 1st had finished but after 12 minutes Ballisadare scored and Villa were chasing the game from them on and were hit for a further 3 as they pulled out all the stops to get an equaliser. They never gave up and pushed Ballisadare all the way to the 90th minute.
The girls can be very proud of their first season as many of this team had played very little soccer before this summer and are already looking forward to next season. Well done to manager Jimmy Murphy, thanks to Michael Hynes for his work over the summer to keep the pitch in great condition as usual, to Noel Kennedy for his help getting the Ladies League up and running and last but not least to Dromore Villa Chairman Joe Burns who was also instrumental in setting up the Ladies League. Hopefully the success of this year will encourage more teams to enter next year.

On a sad note everyone involved with Dromore Villa F.C would like to extend our sinsere sympathy to wife Teresa, son Padraig, daughter Elaine and all the Harte family on the recent death of Dessie Harte, Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anim.
