Games played weekend 25th September

U14 boys hosted newcomers Valley Rovers on Friday evening and on a very breezy evening both sides took a while to settle into the game. After 15 minutes Villa made the breakthrough with an Iarla Connor goal, Rory McHugh added a 2nd shortly after with Iarla making it 3 just before the break. Early in the 2nd half Joe & Rory McHugh combined to give Rory his 2nd goal and he completed his hat trick when the Joe again put his younger brother through. Not to be outdone Iarla Connor also completed a hat trick and Villas 7th was scored in the final minutes with a fine long range goal from Mark Devaney. It was a great team performance and the lads will hope to continue their winning ways in their next game.

U12 boys had a home fixture on Saturday morning with Strand Celtic the visitors, we had the benefit of the breeze in the first half and created a few chances but were unable to convert them into scores. Two goals in quick succession and against the run of play put strand in the driving seat and with 3 more strand goals in the 2nd half it was a disappointing result. An away game on Saturday to neighbours Western Rovers is our next U12 fixture.

Our Junior Team got a walkover in the Connaught Cup with Merville Utd unable to field on Sunday and progress to the next round.

Games played 10th to 18th Sept

U14 Boys had a good win over neighbours Kilglass/Enniscrone Utd on Sat the 10th. On a very windy day that made conditions difficult for both sides Villa were on top from early on and scored on 13 minutes playing against the breeze. A penalty put Villa 2 up and the result was never really in doubt from then on, 4 more goals in the 2nd half gave Villa a 6 Nil win and a good start to the year. Next game is at home to newly formed Valley Rovers on Saturday 24th.
Result - Kilglass/Enniscrone 0 Dromore Villa 6

Sligo Pallets Premier league
A home win on a score of 2 goals to Nil over Coolaney Utd was the resut on Sunday 11th for our Junior team, this was a good win for the lads as they were without several regulars and put them in a good league position at this early stage of the season.
Result - Dromore Villa 2 Coolaney Utd 0

U12 boys started their campaign on Wednesday with a home game V Ballisadare, despite a good performance we were lost on a scoreline of 5 goals to 1. Cahan Hallinan was the Villa scorer after 12 minutes when he chased on to a through ball to finish well. Next game is at home to Strand Celtic white on Saturday 24th

On Saturday evening 17th the Junior team travelled to Boyle to play under lights and but lost on a score of 4 goals to 2, this is a disappointing result but will hope to put that result behind them and bounce back next weekend.
Result - Boyle Celtic 4 Dromore Villa 2.

Can all registration fees be paid this week if possible, money can be given to managers or to treasurer Margaret Hynes.

Update 5th September

In the Sligo Pallets Premier League Villa had an impressive win over Real Tubber on a scoreline of 2 goals to nil with brothers Gary and Shane Hynes both getting on the score sheet. In a very entertaining game both sides put on a good display of football despite the wet conditions. The result puts us into 4th place. The lads are at home to Coolaney next Sunday at 11 and your support is welcome as always.
