U16 Ormonde Villa 0-3 Freebooters
Freebooters continued their good run of form with a 3-0 victory over Ormonde Villa in Newpark. ‘Booters got off to a great start when ‘man of the match’ Nathan West struck a half volley from the edge of the box after three minutes.
‘Booters went two up when Cathal O’Leary poked home a goal from a corner. The game was put beyond Villa's reach when Conor Keane continued his fine run of form in front of goal and headed in from a Nathan West corner. From then on ‘Booters closed out the game led by their captain Robbie Hayes, the back four followed his no nonsense style. Goalkeeper Craig Cummins was his usual agile self, producing one brilliant reflex save in the second half. Midfielders Nathan Culleton and Tucker Egan broke up Villa’s midfield allowing the hard working Dara Egan, Stevie Chappell and Nathan West to create chances. Eoin Kavanagh played his usual high standard for the team, his skill and quick feet caused Ormonde Villa lots of problems. Substitutes Andrew Valentine, Paddy Cantwell and Steve Thompson continued the hard work and team play when introduced in the second half.
