After a good preseason Johnstown wanted to start the season on a positive and showed this with some early pressure. Some very good play created corner after corner with no success how ever did not put Johnstown off. After some good work down the left from Alan Kerr and jack conroy the fell to Andre Sirb who could not capitalise.

The opening goal did come after yet another corner saw Ciaran Croke get on the end of a excellent Justin Flynn cross. Johnstown keeper Keith Mangan was rarely troubled in the first half and the visitors went in a goal to the good.
After a good opening ten minutes of the second half Johnstown concentration seemed to drop and their hosts started to get a foot in the game. Square created a couple of changes but were caught on the break with Wayne Cahill crossing for Shane Kelly to double the lead. Square halved the deficit with a fine individual goal.

Match Report 2nds V 3rds

Yesterday saw the clash of the two Johnstown teams in the reserve cup.

Johnstown 2nds hosted Johnstown 3rds in a windy MDL. It was the 2nds who took an early lead after good play down the left from Wayne Cahill set up Alan Burke to slot home. On the half hour mark Cahill got a quick fire double to send the 2nds in to 3-0 lead.

The second half saw some good play from both teams with changes few and far between. The 3rds center half paring of Barry halpin and Kevin McQuillan restricted the 2nds to long range efforts with Keith mangan rarely troubled in the 2nds goal. Johnstown 2nds saw out the game to advance to the quarter final.

The game was played in a competitive but fair manner and it was a credit to both teams and the club.

Johnstown 2nds.
