St. Vincent's DFC 1 – 16 Over 35's
Brian Daly

Match not worthy of a report. There were only four players playing. The team were badly let down by players who were able to come in but couldn't be bothered because they were too tired/hungover/whatever.

First Five: Alan Smith, Shane Byrne, Brian Daly, Ciarán Moloney and Mr. Invisible

Man of the Match: All of the four players who never gave up despite the scoreline. The four players were totally knackered after 50 minutes of running around. The blue jerseys were absoultely quenched with sweat because each player gave it their absolute all. They did St. Vincent's DFC proud and were totally worthy of the blue jersey. Their team-mates could learn from them what it means to represent St. Vincent's DFC because they were guilty of a massive lack of respect for the club.

 
 

There is a slight change to the training schedule. The training session that was scheduled for Wednesday 22nd April will now take place on Thursday 23rd April instead! It will start at 7.30pm.

29th March - Matchday 2

St. Vincent's DFC  9 - 6   KISS DFC
(Goalscorers to be clarified)

Having cruised to a victory over Tallaght DFC who were supposed to be our nearest rivals for the league title, St. Vincent's were expected to make a meal out of KISS who appeared to be the weakest team in the league. Going into this match as massive underdogs, KISS looked to be doomed as they had no substitute which led to predictions of a cricket-score line due to presumptions that they would quickly tire running all over the much bigger futsal court than the previous one. However much to everyone's surprise they looked anything but cannon fodder. In contrast to our sluggish start, KISS got off to a terrific start with the Doyle brothers constantly running at our defence. They notched three goals without reply. We went into the break two goals behind. The players were told to be more fluid on the pitch, for we weren't moving around enough to exploit the vulnerable energy levels of KISS.

Even though KISS now had one sub who arrived late, the second half saw a marked improvement in an offensive perspective. We were still suffering from defensive lapses and made life difficult for ourselves. However we scored a terrific team goal with a sublime finish from Liam Moloney and this lifted us to no end. We gave ourselves a three goal cushion as towards the end of the match. It was a game in which we didn't play particularly well but still managed to grind out three points against KISS, who must be complimented for their spirited performance.

First five: Ciarán Moloney, Paul O'Callaghan, Colm Keogh, Liam Moloney and Rino Giglione
Subs: Jason Maguire, Roy Maguire and Sean Herlihy.

MOM: Paul O'Callaghan- Worked tirelessly in both defence and attack.
MOM for KISS: Ciarán Doyle- Ran all over the place and was KISS's biggest threat in attack.
