Blackstone Rovers 0 - 3 Dungarvan Utd (Goals 25, 60, 90)
Its strange because we feel disapointment because we know we werent at our best. However, we also know that we gave them a game. We are now in a situation where we want an open draw every year, and the club has moved to another new level. It is said you have to lose one to win one.
The heavens opened as the game kicked off and it poured down for the whole game. The first twenty minutes were scrappy with a half chance and a peno shout for Blackstone. On 25 minutes, our centre half crashed into the railing and was off the field for a few minutes. A free kick was swung into our box in the meantime, and it skidded off the keeper and despite a goal line clearance, the rebound ended in the net. We had our best spell in the ten minutes before the break and had the ball in the net. Dungarvan played the trap and left three players in the box. The furthest forward was off, but it wasnt him who finished.
The second half began like the first, a bit scrappy. On the hour, another free kick found its way into the net, another goal we will be upset at conceding. Five minutes later, a meelee broke out and Blackstone were reduced to 9 men. The 9 kept going and number 3 was scored with the last kick of the game.
We received a lot of good wishes and it is great to know a spirit like that exists in local football. You would be suprised who watches the results.
