u21's 3 up

Is there anyone on here interested in travelling to the game on Saturday? We could get a train or bus and we could all stay with JC! Seriously though would there be much interest?

That would depend on how late the Menlo Park goes on Friday Night.

Jeez GUFCT its not like ud have far to travel for the train.:D

no tir but there is a bar extension and none of us are getting any younger .

Under 21s were beaten 2-0 today by UCD. Well done to BillyC and the squad on a good season They have been a delight to watch throughout the year.

One of the players said it was a fairly even game and that we were stung by 2 early goals.
Still,good season.

:eek::D

Galway didn't even manage to get a shot on target. We dominated first half (had about 90% possession) and 2-0 at half time was not a reflection of the half. Took the foot off the pedal in second half but we were still by far the most dangerous team.

Fair play to the Galway players though, never gave up.

how many first team players had UCD playing with them ?

2 players that have regularly been in first team squad were in the starting line up. They have been with the U21s all season though. 5 others have made their debut for the first team this season.

The U21's were outmuscled by a UCD team team that had seemed to have an inch or two on average each in height across the park on the Galway players and were more bulked up physically. First half United could hardly get a hold of the ball and to be honest UCD deserved their 2-0 half time lead.

As DmanDmythDledge said however the lads never gave up and despite the defeat can be proud of their performance. A few players stood out - our numbers 5, 6 and 10 (molloy) especially.

About 15 to 20 United supporters at the game - some were parents, Tony Cousin was there with his kids, also spotted Fran Carter.
