U12s cup 2nd round.

Johnstown 0

Kells 2

This cup game brought together division 1 top against Premier top.

From the early exchanges Kells got into the game at a fast pace.  The Johnstown midfield were very busy keeping track of the fast inter link play of the Kells team. Ciaran Vaughan showed alot of technique as the game went on in trying  to release Adam Quinn for one of Johnstown’s trademark breaks. With a loose ball out to the Johnstown right Kells pounced to whip a low ball back in to which a unfortunate knock in by the Kells midfielder to make 0-1 for the visitors, johnstown fought back when Adam Quinn broke the Kells defence only to take the paint from the Kells post to go wide.

The second half Johnstown had few chances but to be fair alot of their great effort was in repelling the Kells midfield in attacking. A slight mistake from the Johnstown defence led to a soft goal for the Kells second..

On another  day this fantastic Johnstown team with better luck would have more of a chance.  All the same not bad for a team 3 weeks without a match.  Good luck to Kells in the cup.

Best for johnstown: C Vaughan, T O Brien,
