SDFL 1-1 Kildare

South Dublin fought back from a half time deficit to claim a well deserved draw in Peamount last Wednesday night. Both defences proved hard to break down and chances were at a premium. SDFL centre midfielder Alex Murray had a cracking drive brilliantly tipped onto a post by the Kildare keeper and but soon after Kildare broke to finish superbly at the other end.

South Dublin pressed hard at the start of the 2nd half and finally got their reward 12 minutes from time when Avis equalised from a direct free kick. South Dublin had the final chance when Avis was again denied by a super save from the Kildare keeper.

Both management teams took plenty of positives from the game.

Cashin Cup Squad v NDSL

Wexford 1-0 SDFL

The SDFL under 12s were very unlucky not to come away with at least a point in this Cashin Cup game, The home team toping the group, having beaten the NEC and NDSL and also drawing with the DDSL,were strong opposition for the SDFL who gave a good account of themselves and were a threat throughout.  The opening exchanges showed that this was going to be a hard fought game, and after 10mins SDFL Callum Pearson fired a great effort just over the bar. A few mins later the SDFL worked a good opening, with James Bailey unlucky not to score,  and Wexford breathed a sigh of relief.  Wexford did have a few long range shots but these were easily dealt with by keeper Ross Kearney. SDFL Danny Kane had a free kick  saved by the keeper , and Mark Gordon tried his luck from distance. Wexford put over a deep cross which caused the SDFL to concede a corner, and as the half drew to a close  SDFL Ross Kearney pulled off a super save to keep the score level.  The SDFL were hit by a cruel blow, early in the 2nd half, when a poor clearance gave the home striker Owen McGuckian a free strike at goal to put the home side 1 up , the SDFL fought back well and went close to equalising , when Mark Gordons great effort glanced past the upright with the home keeper beaten, Wexford defended well to keep their lead, Danny Kane fired  a free kick just over the bar with minutes remaining, The SDFL can take a lot of positives  from the game ,with some excellent performances throughout the team..The SDFL finish the group with a home game against the DDSL.

SDFL 6-1 Roscommon

Two very impressive performances led to two victories for the SDFL in this double header of games against the Roscommon League. In the first game Ryan Forsyth bagged his first goal for the league after 10mins. The ball was played quickly and accurately as the SDFL carved out the openings. Oscar Brennan curled one into the top corner from the edge of the box, then Brian Horgan and Sean Burke with a screamer from 25yds made it 4 before Roscommon pulled one back when the Keeper allowed a near post effort through his hands. The football was a joy to watch and Roscommon could not match the South Dublin team, who are all playing for a coveted place on the bus to Limerick for the Kennedy Cup. Sean Cullen and Fionn Geoghegan netted in the 2nd half, as the goals were shared around among 6 different scorers.

SDFL 4-0 Roscommon

In the second match a tighter first half saw the scores level at 0-0, although Vincent Ogbe could have scored a hat-trick, and the SDFL saw another effort hit the post. Roscommon seamed well up for it, and knew what to expect from the home team second time around. but once the first goal went in, when Ogbe ran on to a through pass to net, the SDFL grew in confidence and took control of this game. Giordano Cinelli fired in the second, and Ogbe showed the other side to his play in the second period when he scored 2 more to complete his hat-trick. The SDFL could even afford for Craig Fitzgerald to sky his penalty kick over the bar. There were lots of high quality performances in these 2 games form the lads in Blue, and while the Coaching team will be very pleased, the players here have given them a few headaches when it comes to picking the team for the next game!
