Éire Óg 0-01
North London Shamrocks 1-12
A lot of changes were made to the team with a few forwards starting their first ever game in defence. The lads settled in well to this game and the few chances that NLS got they squandered with pot shots at goal that went wide. A heavy shower early on meant the surface was slippery and the ball even slippier and this didn’t help our lads get a grip of the game. Although the conditions were the same for both sides it looked like NLS got used to then better than our lads and pulled away in the last few minutes of the half. At 1.09 to nil at half time the signs didn’t look good for the rest of the game but the lads came out with a spring in their step and had a couple of point scoring opportunity’s but only managed to convert the lonely one reflected in the final score.
A better 2nd half and if a few had gone our way we might have turned the game a little in our favour.
