Rearcross 'B' 2 - Toomevara 'B' 3

 

Rearcross 'B' were on the receiving end of a 3-2 defeat last Sunday by Toomevara 'B' in a Reserve Division league fixture played at Rearcross F.C. Grounds. The visitors were fast out of the traps and scored the opener inside the first minute when a corner kick was flicked in at the front post and added a second after a defensive lapse ten minutes later. Rearcross were slow to settle but got to grips with the game as the half progressed, Tommy Ryan Luke came close in the 25th minute when he turned on the right hand side and fired just outside the far post. Trevor Delahunty also came close with a well struck shot before the half time whistle. The introduction of Liam Ryan and Nigel Ryan in the second half was working well with the latter opening the Rearcross account early in the half from the penalty spot. Rearcross were dominant at this stage with shots from Davy Ryan Luke and Liam Ryan not far off, Paudie Devitt also came close with a headed effort, however disaster struck for Rearcross in the 73rd minute when the visitors scored against the run of play with an effort from the edge of the eighteen yard box. The introduction of Thomas Kennedy added impetus and Rearcross clawed a goal back when Nigel Ryan rovided the cross for Matthew Ryan Luke who put the ball in the back of the net with ten minutes remaining. The Toomevara custodian was well positioned to save from Thomas Kennedy with five minutes remaining, Rearcross had given their all at this stage and Toomevara went on to claim the points.
