Sharks v Lagan
On a lovely evening, the Sharks faced a well drilled Lagan side who came to play football. We found ourselves 1 down when a cross ball somehow ended up in the net very early in the game. Took a while to get going, and we lost a second goal from another cross ball which this time was met in the box by a Lagan attacker. 2 down and we hadn't caught our breath!
Then, the turning point came when Vincent took one for the team. The determination to win the ball meant he found himself on the end of a sore one. He had to leave the field, but his actions spurred the Sharks in action. Liam came on and had a stormer. Dinny was weaving in and out up front, whilst Aisling was getting one of the main Lagan threats under control. Emily created a couple of chances that went close, and we went in half time 2 down, but the tails up. Debutant Sophie was taking no prisoners in the middle of the field and won a lot of ball along with James, who as usual, covered every blade of grass on the pitch. Myles and Clara held fast at the back, and captain Dominic was leading by example. Tiernan showed great touches on the wings and we went all out for the next goal. The workrate of all the players was immense. The goal was a cracker coming from our top goal scorer this season - Riley. We now need someone to fix the net, after he put a hole in it with a thunderous shot!
It was no more than the Sharks deserved. We then pressed for an equaliser, but it wasn't to be on the day. What a performance by all! Everyone gave 110% and we had some great passages of play. Scorelines don't always reflect positive results.
We know we all have a lot of work to do, but we are up for the fight. The positivity from this group is infectious.
When Dinny and this gang are smiling, you can't help but smile back! 😁
Thank you for the great support that was there, we really appreciate it. 👏
Well done to Lagan on a good game of football.
