Subway NIYFA U11 Plate: Newry City U11 v Foyle Harps U11

It was a very tough game for Newry City U11s against a well drilled Foyle Harps U11s side. The game started evenly enough with the first 15 minutes being contested in the right manner. This changed when Foyle Harps scored their first goal from a long-range effort, Newry’s players’ heads dropped.

Soon after that, Ronan McCann got the second goal to settle down the game, and after that they started to relax and play with freedom.

Newry scored with only a few minutes remaining in the first half, Daniel again getting on the end of some good work from the midfield players, making the score 3-0 at half time.

The second half started again with Newry coming out the more confident with two early goals from Jamie Franks and Frankie Bradley.

Newcastle got one back after that, a great strike from well outside the box. Newry dominated play and goalscoring opportunities however, hitting three more goals courtesy of Jamie Franks Jacob Toner, and Daniel completing his hat-trick.

After a few hard weeks, it was good for the boys to get back to winning ways.

It was hard to point out a single outstanding player when they all played so well as a team.
