Games played 15th & 16th October

The U14 boys lost their first game of the season on Saturday when they hosted Calry Bohs, we were without some players due to other commitments but the lads put in a good performance and were well in the game all through. It was an exciting game with both teams playing good attacking football. The final score was Dromore Villa 3 Calry Bohs 4, the Villa goals scored by Oisin Connolly & a brace from Iarla Connor.
All other teams had a weekend off but hope to be back in action next weekend.
U12 training Wednesday 6 - 7, U14 training Thursday and U8/U10 on Sunday morning at 12:30

Games played 8th & 9th October

In the Sligo Pallets Premier League we travelled to neighbours Kilglass/Enniscrone and as usual it was a full blooded local derby. In a game that produced 4 goals and 2 sendings off both teams had to be content with a share of the spoils on a scoreline of 2 goals each. Michael Connolly was on target for both of the Villa goals.

No match next week due to Sligo Rovers Cup Semi Final and Everyone at Dromore Villa wish "the Bit of Red" all the best next Sunday when they take on Bohs.

None of our youth teams were in action this weekend but our U14 side have a home tie V Calry Bohs next Saturday at 2pm.

No U8/U10 training next Sunday due to Sligo Rovers semi final.

Games played 1st & 2nd October

U12 boys made the trip to neighbours Western Rovers on Saturday and having lost their first 2 games were looking for their first win. They got into the game from the start and played some good passing football and created a few chances early on. The half time score was 3 Nil to Villa and a further 4 2nd half goals put the result beyond doubt. Cahan Hallinan took home the match ball when he completed his hat trick, Paul Clarke netted twice, Fionn Connolly and and a fine goal from distance by Daniel Rolston completed a 7 Nil victory.
Training continues Wednesday evenings at 6pm.

In The Sligo Pallets Premier League Cartron Utd were visitors to Dromore West on Sunday morning, in a very entertaining game both teams had to be content with a point as the game ended in a 2 - 2 draw. It was probably a fair result for both teams over the 90 minutes as both teams went out to play attacking football and both had chances that on another day could have ended up in the net, the Villa goals were scored by James Hynes and Gary Hynes.

Birthday Boy - Chairman of Dromore Villa Joe Burns celebrated his 50th birthday this week, The Beach Bar was the venue for the bash with his wife Pauline, daughters Danielle & Niamh, sons Shane & Ryan, extended family and friends on Saturday night and a great night was had by all. Sligo Rovers even had a record league win to celebrate the occasion, we wish Joe all the best for the next 50!!!

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.
