Fairview 2-2 Janesboro
Last night demonstrated one of the things I love about football - that a better organised side can get a result from a much stronger side on paper. Finnan has worked absolute wonders with this Fairview side. Straight from the off they were pressing aggressively as a team high up the pitch and forcing the Janesboro defence into errors. Boro's starting shape wasn't helping matters either - a kamikaze old style 4-3-3 where the wide forwards were instructed to stay forward during the defensive phase. This led directly to the first goal after 5 minutes when View left winger Luca Tedde was totally unmarked and able to deliver a great cross which Wayne Colbert handled. Scanlon converted the penalty.
Halfway through the first half, Boro admitted their error and switched to a 4-4-2. They then started to dominate possession but struggled to break down a much better organised Fairview side who had a great defensive shape. Colm Heffernan in the middle was particularly impressive in this regard. Boro's choice of personnel was a problem too - Clarke and Doyle do not work well together. Clarke is not suited to playing as a number 10 and Doyle is not suited to playing as a 9. Clarke was constantly dropping off to receive the ball away from where he could be most dangerous. And Doyle was often guilty of not reacting to through balls and balls into the channels. Lynch and Clarke would have been a much better combo. Meanwhile Waters was on the left while Donnan (a central player) was on the right. Surely it makes more sense to play Waters on the right and Doyle on the left?
Clarke created something out of nothing for the equaliser early in the second half - a bicycle kick hit the bar and the rebound was headed in by Doyle. Fairview then strangely removed Madigan from left back and moved back the winger and the second goal came from his position as Doyle (now on the right!) got in ahead of him at the back post.
Then the pendulum swung in View's favour and by the time the equaliser came it was inevitable. Fairview went with three strikers and Shane Power, a sub, overlapping from right full, delivered a perfect cross for one of those three (Scanlon) to head in.
Fully deserved point for Fairview in my opinion. Only one side came with a plan and they executed it to perfection. The pressing wasn't kept up during the second half, but these are young players and that's understandable.
Boro are in absolute disarray. The number of changes in shape and player positions last night was mind boggling. The subs bench was questioning the management after only 2 minutes of play. Big changes are needed if they are to have any hope of success in the cups.
craig madigan was injured as far as i knowQuote:

And it's reassuring to hear that Madigan wasn't taken off for tactical reasons.

think the boro are already out of the equation,as i cannot see pike dropping more then 6 points max,over the course of the season.
any reports from any of the other fixtures his morning
dines and balla one's in particular.
view won 2-0
one up at ht with a luca tedde strike...
regional had a man dismissed just before half time,for two yellows.
fairview were awarded a penalty midway through the second half which colin scanlon converted.
deserved win for fairview
Regional 0-2 Fairview
A much less impressive performance from Fairview this morning as they struggled to win the battle for possession in the absence of one of Thursday's stand out players Colm Heffernan. Regional spent large chunks of the first period in the opposition half but struggled to create with the exception of an early headed chance for Kieran O'Connell. They shot themselves in the foot however just before the whistle when centre half Jack Molyneaux picked up two deserved yellow cards and had to walk. In the reorganisation that followed, Regional allowed Mark McGrath to receive to feet in the box, turn and square to Luca Tedde to finish with pretty much the last kick of the half.
Second half, you would have imagined that Fairview would run rampant, but they were poor in midfield, and instead of playing patient short passes and making the pitch big to maximise their man advantage, they kept trying the killer through ball or the ball into the channel too early. They were far too anxious and needed someone of Heffernan's influence to slow the tempo. Regional were delighted to be gifted with possession so regularly and began to look like the team with the extra man, but again they struggled to create and with Declan Nash forced to play alone up top, he wasn't getting much change out of Mike Ryan who had an excellent game.
View went on subsequently to create chances on the break and both Derek Hanlon and Mark McGrath had glorious chances to wrap it up, before they were finally awarded a penalty with about 15 to go. Scanlon converted with ease. In fairness to View they had two strong shouts turned down prior to that, one for blatant handball in the first half, and another for a clear foul on McGrath in the second. Ref might have been looking to even it up a bit, and I rarely criticise referees.
Great for this young View side to pick up another three, but they huffed and puffed here. Had Regional not had a man sent off it could have been a very different story, but like last season they lack creativity both from midfield, and from a number 10 type who can drop off and make things happen. Sean Sheehy deserves a mention too. He slipped up badly against Carew last week, but made some great saves to keep his side in the game today.
MOM: Mike Ryan
