Dromore Villas only silverware of the season arrived when our U14 boys captured the Group 2 League title last week in a highly entertaining and hard fought game against Yeats Utd. The game took place at Dromore Villas soccer pitch. The game came to life quickly with both teams pressing for an early goal and it was Villa who were rewarded with one on 18 minutes as Iarla Connor scored a great long range strike. It stayed that way till the end of the first half and the second half began the same as the first with both teams playing great football. Yeats got back on level terms early in the second half after the ball rebounded off keeper Kieran Devaney and hit Mikey Gordon to score an unfortunate own goal. Yeats then took the lead five minutes later after a great run and finish from their striker. With 10 minutes left villa equalized when Iarla Connor got his second of the evening with a brilliant header after a great Joe McHugh free kick. The game was forced into extra time and in the last 10 minutes Iarla got his hat trick with a cool finish after linking up well with Rory McHugh. Villa got their fourth goal to decide the game after good pressure from Mikey Gordon when he won the ball and then scored after a great run and finish. This was a great performance from both teams and every player gave their all. Congratulations to all on a great season and Micheal would like to thank the parents for their support throughout the season. He would also like to thank everyone that helped him during the year and he looks forward to next season.
This was a fitting way to mark the end of our time in ynes' pitch and we would like to thank Michael, Margaret & all the Hynes family for their hospitality over the past 3 years. We look forward to returning to Templeboy where the redeveloped pitches should be ready for the start of the upcoming season although a lot of ladies will miss the half time cuppa that Margaret so regularly provided on those cold days.
