Winning start for Club's U-12 stars

St. John’s U-12 B team began their Division 4 league campaign with a morale boosting start against great rivals St. Mary’s in Kent Park last evening winning by 0-16 to 0-10.

St.Mary’s took an early lead but scores from Liam Lee & Ciaran Quinn kept St. John’s within reach. The team was bolstered by great defensive work by Sean Moore & James Darwin.

In the third quarter the team took control with the quartet of Marc Lyttle, Aine, Gorman, Cormac Roddy & Corey O’Dowd all contributing hugely in the forward line to put the team well out in front. While the defence also stood firm limiting St. Mary’s to few shots on goal.

Best for St John’s on the night were Sean Moore, Ronan Hegarty, Liam Lee, Marc Lyttle and Brendan Kovnecheuk.

Both teams have to be commended for a great display of football.

Next up for the U-12's is a home fixture against Eastern Harps in Cleveragh on Tues April 21st at 7 p.m.

St John’s have worked hard in the last number of years at underage level in putting a lot of resources into coaching at underage level and this is beginning to bear fruit with some fine performances by boys and girls aged only ten and eleven.

Joint Managers Gerry Quinn & Michael Hegarty

Final score: St. John’s 0-16 St. Mary’s 0-10
