In the opening match of the Emerald Futsal League, St. Vincents got off to a great start by recording an impressive victory over Tallaght. The first half was an evenly contested affair and Tallaght opened the scoring from a well excuted shot from Pat Maher. However the boys in blue started to impose their quality and maintained their tempo by rotating players from the sub's bench as TDFC started to tire as they only had one sub. The blues swiftly equalised and went into the break with a cushion of 2 goals.
However when the 2nd half resumed, Tallaght took advantage of our casual play and reduced the defict to one goal to make it 4-3 before we pulled away again and left the reds floundering as we made sure of the three points to see us sitting nicely on top of the league after the first round of fixtures.
After the match, Tallaght claimed the outcome would have been different if they had their whole squad available to them so it should make for an interesting fixture when we meet them again on the 19th April.
First five: Rino Giglione, Paul O'Callaghan, Colm Keogh, Liam Moloney and Jason Maguire
Subs: Sean Herlihy, Brian Daly, Roy Maguire and Ciarán Moloney
Our MOM: Jason Maguire-very fluid and kept moving. Showed us how good he can be when he forgets about giving out to players and concentrates on his futsal! LOL!
MOM for TDFC: Eoin Nolan. First time playing futsal and he made a couple of good saves to keep the scoreline down for his team.
