Johnstown reserves continued their good start to the season with a hard fought win in the local derby against Navan Town.   Johnstown did not start the brightest and found it hard to play their natural passing game.  On the half hour mark Navan Town took the lead when a long ball caught out the Johnstown defence.  Never the less Johnstown did not panic and possibly could have been level at the break.

After a few stern words at half time Johnstown came out fighting and really took control of the game.  Playing much better football Johnstown laid siege on the Navan Town goal.  Some good midfield play and excellent work down the left from Ian Cahill made the equaliser inevitable.  It came on the hour mark when the ball fell kindle to Alan Burke to slot home.  Only one team were going to win the game now, however it took till the last few minutes for Johnstown to claim all three points.  Good work on the right from Alan Kerr led to a corner which Morris Mulvany rose high to head goal-wards only for his effort to be handled on the line by a Navan Town defender.  Ian Cahill stepped up and confidently powered home the resulting penalty to secure all 3 points.
