The Weekend That Was…..

A poor weekend all-round for the Johnstown teams, with only the Under 12s and Under 13s picking up wins.

The Under 12’s were away to Parkvilla with the venue changed to Kells facilitating drainage works on the Villa pitch. Goals from Luke D. and Adam D. followed by a fine 2nd half backs-to-the-wall display by the whole team meant Johnstown left with all 3 points after a 2-1 victory in this the opening NECSL fixture for both teams.

The Under 13s had an excellent result away to Virginia winning 2-1, Darren F. with a brace, before the home side pulled on back on the break. Read the full report here https://johnstownfc.ie/match/1291/

The Under 15s were unlucky not to take a point from their opening clash with Athboy in the MDL. Athboy took an early lead before Dylan scored an equaliser just before the interval. Midway through the 2nd half, Athboy scored a fantastic goal from all of 30 yards which proved to be the winner as a missed penalty from Johnstown meant the game finished 2-1 in favour of the visitors.
