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.

The Under 17s had a hard fought but well earned 2-2 draw away to Carrick Rovers ensuring neither side left this encounter empty handed.

The Under 18s also played out a draw, this time finishing 1-1 at home to Donnycarney on Sunday morning in the MDL. Johnstown got off to the best start imaginable with their goal coming in the first minute from the boot of Mark Grumley, however shortly after the restart Donnycarney were back on level terms.

Under 18s

Under 18s Vs Seniors

Last Sunday the both teams where at a loose end with no fixtures for either of them.  So we though why not have a friendly.  Not only had we JFC Vs JFC but managers on each team are brothers so truly the rivalry was here with Shane out to prove to his Big Brother Ian he had the better team.

The game was at a steady pace with the seniors starting of the goals when Ciaran Croke scored a screamer of a goal to set the Seniors one up.  But the Under 18s where not going to let the old men of the club show them up and quickly scored one against them.  From here on in both sides defended fiercely and not another goal was had by either side.

 

With the full time whistle blown at 1-1 as it was an inter cub friendly  the decision was to go to penalties both sides took to this with gusto and the Final score was 4-3 to the Under 18s

 

Here is a few pictures from the game to give you a taste of the action
