Hopefully we'll win next week!
My name is Brian Connolly
I am going to tell you about St Vincent's match vs Shamrock Celtic
We had 15 players, 3 subs- actually 4 subs!
We started playing against the wind, strong winds and uphill slope
Pitch was crap
We started the game and it was 0-0 for a while
Then we got a goal!
Ciarán Moloney got the goal, he played well
Their defence were finding him difficult to mark
However Shamrock Celtic equalised much to our disappointment
We wanted to keep the lead because it was hard to play with the wind
But anyway the score was 1-1
We continued to press
and again Ciarán Moloney scored!
Great! We went 2-1 up
Then the other team had a man sent off
Good news for us because it looked like we have a great chance of winning the game
They were 10 men down but they managed to equalise!
Very disappointing, midfield and defence were asleep
Bad wind but now we entered the 2nd half with the scoreline still at 2-2
We now had the winds on our back which was good for St Vincent's.
But the other team took the lead this time to make it 3-2
Our confidence dropped
We staged a fightback to try and win
The ref was undecisive
But we could not get back in the game
As the other team scored again to make it 4-2
Damn!
We tried to change our plan to be more attacking
We changed our formation to 3-5-2
But it didn't work as they scored a 5th goal to make it 5-2
One of our boys, Robert Archer got sent off
Because he got two yellow cards
At that stage it looked impossible to stage a comeback and make it 5-5
Hopefully we'll win next week!
