Another tough game for St. Vincents but the team were ready after some tough training and last weeks performance. Once again a few changes had to be made due to injuries and other commitments. 1. Roy Keating 2.Rob Archer 4. John Smyth 5. Brian Conolly 3. Tmmy Doona 7.Jason Doyle 6. Damen McMahon 8.John Greene 11. Jason Maguire 9. Chris McGovern 10. Paul O' Callaghan 12. Justin Smyth for Chris McGovern 13. Anthony Maher for Rob Archer 14. Gary Bayley for Jason Doyle Match Kicked off and within the first 3mins a quick over the top ball let Shamrock in with a one on one chance which they converted. St. Vincents were shocked but kept the heads up. Once again, Roy kept us in the game with a few saves and quick clearances, with this he picked up a heavy knock but fought on... The team started to get into the groove even with the poor state of the pitch, Damien Mcmahon was applying himself in centre in the park and Jason was getting some joy down the left.With a quick few passes, Paul o' Callaghan broke through down the left and pulled across to Chris Mcgovern who duly headed it in but only for the ref to disallow this to disputable offside. Few chances came and went before the whistle went for half time. Geoff and Stuart were pleased with the effort but believed in the team to up it once again and push for the win. This had a big effect and the team decided to push up and make it a tighter game, with this St. Vincents were starting to win the 50/50s Paul o Callaghan and Jason were combining down the left to cause them such a problem they made a few changes. Oppurtunity came after a quickly taken free-kick played Paul through on goal which was drilled into the bottom corner, Shamrock were rattled and St. Vincents pushed on for the winner. A few injuries once again led to a couple of changes seeing Anthony Maher getting more game time and Gary Bayley making this seasons debut. Unfortunately for St. Vincents, shamrock celtic's keeper came to the rescue as he made 3 saves in the dying 5minutes denying Justin, Jason & Paul. Another draw but unbeaten in 2games and strong 90min performance. Geoff announced MoM was: Damien McMahon & Timmy Doona Caradonagh 2-2 St. Vincents 02/01/2010
St. Vincents have worked harder than ever in training and talked about team work and pride. Which seen this match played with all this elements and so much more. 1. Roy Keating 2. Liam Moloney 5. John Smyth 4. Jamie Wilson 3. Timmy Doona 11. Larry White 6. John Green 8. Paul O Callaghan 7. Ciaran Doyle 9. Justin Smyth 10. Shane Byrne 12. Pat Maher for Larry White 13. Damien McMahon for Shane Byrne 14. Anthony Maher for Ciaran Doyle Another changed line up due to misunderstanding pre-match which influenced most of the first half. St. Vincents never turned up for 35mins of this game in which Caradonagh could have put the game to bed. they scored first goal from another long cross ball which made it to back stick in which the player turned and smashed it in bottom corner. Larry White picked up an injury which seen Pat Maher come onto right hand side. Once Again St. Vincents had a penalty turned down when seemed very spot on. So first half came and Went but only 1 nil down still had a chance to make things right. Geoff decided to change it up pushing Pat Maher upfront and Paul O C. on the left with Damien Mcmahon sitting in middle of park to gain control of the game. Which we did up the tempo commiting people forward but once again St.Vincents let down by a refs decision to give caradonagh a penalty when Roy won the ball when one on one with the player but they had gven penalty to everyone confusion. 2- 0 down St. Vincents never gave in and Caradonagh could see this which led to them being reduced to 10men after elbow on John Green. Momentous Occasion was just about to happen, Anthony Maher was summoned from the bench to replace Ciaran Doyle. Battled Cancer and now here he was Donning a blue jersey, slipped into CB with John Smyth and it was like he ws never away. St. VIncents pushed and pushed then got rewarded when John Smyth went wide pushing on to full back slid Paul O Callaghan in which he duly drove straight towards goal and rolled it across goal in which Justin knocked it in. 2-1 and the momument was with St. Vincents stretching the wide and pushing up at every chance. Once again ref played a part when Caradonagh lost another player to second yellow, Vincents put everything into it and the second always looked like coming and did so with ball up to Pat Maher which he won and tapped it onto Justin seen him wrestling with defender with an oncoming keeper he poked the ball goalwards, keeper got a touch but couldnt stop it rolling goalwards then Paul oC. hit it injust to make sure. 2-2 all and went on to create a few more chances but couldnt find that 3rd with only a few mins left. Losing trot came to anend and finally a performance St. Vincents could be proud of. Crumlin Celtic 2 - 0 St. Vincents 23/01/10 02/01/2010
2010 a new year here for St. Vincents to makes it mark on the League. St. Vincents played Crumlin Celtic in which a few previous games had seen them climb top of the table. 1. Roy Keating 2. Rob Archer 4. Jamie Wilson 5. John Smyth 3. Timmy Doona 7. Jason Doyle 6. Ryan Bonass 8. Pat Maher 11. Jason Maguire. 9. Justin Smyth 10. Paul o Callaghan 12. Damien McMahon For John Smyth 13. John Greene For Jason Maguire 14. Ciaran Doyle For Justin Smyth First game in weeks but St. Vincents came out of the traps controlling the first 30mins moving the ball around and working as a team. Except for a few errors by players who seem to struggle with the pitch it was some of the best football they had played in a long time. Had a blatent penalty turned down we spurned a few more chances. Jason was working well wit Paul o Call on the left causing all sorts of problems and Pat Maher was making an impact in midfield. But after a couple of misplaced passes and errors St. Vincents were nervous with 10mins to go till half time, Crumlin took advantage of this with a long cross to back post seen free man just knock it back across to see it go in. Second half started the same nerves were on edge and internal arguing led to second goal conceded from Corner. St. Vincent took time to get back into game but failed to hit the target while doing all the pressing. Crumlin just soaked up the pressure and settled for the result.
