Two losses and a win for U12

Midway 0

ON Saturday morning Rathfriland U12s took on Midway Colts in the League.

Rathfriland started brightly and put pressure on Midway right from the off although they found it difficult to create any clear cut chances. Midway were strong in midfield and had numerous shot which were either well saved by Jack Moffet in nets or off target.

Mark Weir was Rathfriland's best player putting in a great performance in the centre of defence. Rathfriland battled hard and got their reward when James Boyd scored a poachers goal with only minutes remaining in the second half.
