Phoenix 2v2 Dollymount

Team:
                Rory,
Steve oc, Aido, Warren, Owen,
Vinny, Ronan, Tom, Darren,
          Fionn, Vini.
No Subs.


After the 5-1 defeat to Phoenix last week this was always going to be a difficult game to get a result from.
A closely contested first 1/2, with Phoenix taking lead on the 35 minute when a cross from the Phoenix right, the no.9 getting between Warren and Steve, bundled the ball over the line.


20 minutes into the second half, Warren took a long throw into the box which Tom took on his chest and turning outside and leaving his marker fired a left footer into the far corner.

With a Phoenix player left unmarked in the centre of defence, a long through ball gave him a chance to break free. Aido gave chase and got a toe poke on the ball, only for the ball to be steered by Rory for an O.G.


Things looked lost when Brazilian Vini handled the ball in the box, a peno for Phoenix. Rory pulled off an excellent save diving to his right.


Dollymount kept on fighting for a result and were reward when a free kick out on the Dollymount left was wiped in by Warren into the crowded box. With nobody touching the ball, it went straight into the far corner for Warren's first goal of the season.


There should have been a penalty awarded when Steve was kneed in the lower back and sent to the ground.


Ronan's work rate epitomised the spirit in the Dollymount Team.
