St Vincents 5 - 6 Tallaght DFC
Due to the limited number of players available to him at the time of selection, Ciarán Moloney had to start a first five that did not have a sense of balance about them. Just before kick-off other players arrived but it was too late to change the starting line-up. We got off to a disastrous start, making sloppy mistakes and were 3-0 down within 5 minutes. Already by that stage substitutions were made in a bid to stabilise ourselves and get back into the game. We hauled ourselves level at 5-5 with 5 minutes to go when we won a penalty. Unfortunately much to everyone's surprise Daly sent it wide. We constantly swarmed Tallaght's half in search of that elusive winner but were caught out by a counter attack move which was finished by Jon Smyth's shot from an acute angle that squeezed past Ciarán Moloney to give Tallaght DFC their first league victory with practically the last kick of the game. It was a cruel way to finish a game but nonetheless nobody can deny Tallaght deserved 3 points after their performance.
