TEMPLEPATRICK 7 - Whitehead 1

Fantastic win in terrible playing conditions.
We should have brought swimming stuff with us as the pitch was waterlogged in places.
We started the game with Ryan A scoring from a fumble from the Whitehead goalie after 2 minutes. Chris S. made the score 3-0 at half time with 2 well taken goals. Stuart, Curtis and Andrew linked up very well and played some very good football. Matthew, Paul and Peter G. made sure that no Whitehead player got behind them and that restricted Whitehead to long range efforts which were well saved by Taylor. Darren and Hugo worked their socks off with some very good moves on the right.
At half time Jake replaced Peter G. and Whitehead pulled a goal back. Philip and Angus then replaced Darren and Ryan. A great passing move from Stuart in defence to Andrew who did a great pass to Curtis who then beat several Whitehead players to cross in for Chris to claim his hat-trick. Angus then followed suit with another well taken goal as the Whitehead defence collapsed to make it 5-1. Whitehead were now being overrun by a superb and solid display of football from Templepatrick and any threat to defence was easily snuffed out by our back four and goalie. Chris then added his fourth goal with a rasping shot into the back of the net and then Curtis claimed a goal after a Whitehead player knocked the ball into his own net to make the Final Score 7-1

Scorers Chris S (4), Ryan A, Angus McK, Curtis

We have a game the next day at Threemilewater against Whitehead ko 10.30am.
Team will be selected on Friday morning.

NIBFA/Tesco u13 Cup v Doyle YC on 15th December at Mallusk.
Result: Doyle 4 Templepatrick 2
Scorers: Ryan A. & Christopher S.

Sickness hit Templepatrick on Saturday with only 11 fit players available to play. We soon found ourselves 2 goals down after only 10 minutes. Our players were playing in positions not normally theirs but we got into our stride with Glyn going close with a shot on goal. Andrew E and Curtis G. worked well on the left. We finished the first half 4-0 down despite some good goalkeeping from Karl. At half-time the coaches brought on Matthew B. and Hugo K who had arrived from rugby and we changed the formation of the team. This worked well because Doyle could not get out of their own half for the next fifteen minutes. The ball was cleared from Peter G to Darren K who crossed into the centre where Ryan A. latched on to the loose ball and calmly slotted home for his debut goal. The boys had their tails up and soon we pulled another goal back with Christopher S. blasting the ball past the Doyle goalie. However, despite all the possession and good football we just found it too much to pull back another couple of goals. All credit goes to all the boys for a good competitive game and it shows that we can compete with other teams from different leagues.
