Sandyhill 3-3 Aungier Celtic

Sandyhill gaffer Brocko was very disapointed after losing the lead twice in their opening league game today. After going a goal down, Paul Creighton scored a cracker before Tommy Miley converted a penalty to send the "hill in at half time leading. We had enough chances to win and a couple of defensive errors let the opposition back in and Aungier worked hard enough to deserve a point but Sandyhill showed plenty of room for improvement.

Set Piece Set Back

Sandyhill Celtic 2-3 Killester United. The 'Hill went down at home to the champs on a gloomy wet night in Coultry. We knew it would be tough but despite doing well in the early exchanges it was still disapointing when Killester converted a free kick early in the first half. We looked a bit rattled when they doubled their lead 15 minutes later but a half time chat with the boss soon had us focused again and early in the second half Joe O'Sullivan made no mistake to close the gap but when United where awarded a very soft free kick the gap was back to two as another set piece was converted. Kanu pulled one back with a fine header but Killester held on to take all three points. Everyone will be dissapointed however once we are willing to learn from our mistakes we will continue our progress. Next up WFTA at home next thursday night.

The tough pre-season really paid off as we got off to a flyer nearly scoring in the first minute. Sandyhill where creating chance after chance and it was only a matter of time before a score game and when it did it was Stephen Coleman who put us ahead in style. The second half was more of the same and Steo doubled our lead after 56 minutes. Bellurgan eventually pulled one back but never really looked like getting back in the game and it was a dream start to life in premier A for everyone at the club. Next up --- Premier A champions Killester in Coultry Park.

Frank Cooke Cup

Tolka Rovers 1-1 Sandyhill Celtic Sandyhill win on pens ( god knows what score) Sandyhill surprised hosts, Tolka Rovers, by coming out on top after a dramatic penalty shoot out. On front of a large crowd the "Hill battled hard and where very well organised. At times Tolka dominated possesion but failed to turn it into genuine goal chances while in turn Sandyhill created several one on one chances but failed to convert. Tolka looked comfortable after they went ahead in the 25th minute but after Daryl leeper forced Tolka into an own goal the 'Hill where very much back in the game. After 90 mins the game went into penalties and after Sandyhill missed their first two it was looking like another hard luck story but Tommy cullen dragged us back into the game with a super stop and after much heart stopping minutes Keith Gavin was the man who banged home the winning penalty.
