vs Formby JSC 3-5
Team: Ciarán B; Elliot, Tom, Joe H, Matty; Danny, Caleb, Lewis, Adam; Ciarán S, Joe T. Subs: Cormac, Darren, Josh.
The boys continued
their topsy-turvy Summer League form by throwing victory away in a suicidal
second half.A 2nd minute goal
from Man of the Match Joe T after a strong run down the
middle from Lewis promised much.
The second goal, after 9 minutes, as Joe T turned
provider from Danny’s cross to set up Ciarán S for the goal,
reflected their control of the game.
Poor defending to allow
Formby to pull a goal back in the 13th minute was a sign of things
to come but the two goal lead was restored 5 minutes later as Ciarán S
took full advantage of the keeper’s poor touch on Joe T’s great ball to slide
it into an empty net.
It was sheer luck that they
didn’t start the second half further ahead – Adam, Caleb and
Darren went close – and Lewis had a chance soon after the break.
Instead, Formby were back in the game in the 36th minute as the
defence lost its shape defending a throw-in.
The scores were level in the
46th minute as keeper Ciarán B was left exposed, pulling off one
save but powerless to stop the second and two minutes later they had the lead
as the defence, not helped out by a sloppy midfield, were all at sea.
Lewis and Darren caused
problems at the other end but Formby scored their fifth and best goal 5 minutes
from the end to round off a miserable day for the Crosby
defence.
