Rearcross Youths 1 - Birdhill 4

Rearcross Youths went under to Birdhill on a 4-1 score line in this Youths league game played at Rearcross FC Grounds last Saturday afternoon, the visitors looked dangerous from the kick off and it took a save from Jim Caplis in the 7th minute to keep Birdhill at bay. Rearcross clawed back some territorial advantage and Danny O'Brien shot over the bar in the 15th minute, Paul Hogan then came close for the home side three minutes later with a headed effort following a corner kick, Rearcross were well on top at this stage and a Simon Kennedy free kick midway through the half was saved on to the crossbar. Failure to register a score for dominance enjoyed by Rearcross was to prove costly and Birdhill went ahead on the 37th minute mark with a Damien McCarthy goal following a corner kick , Birdhill tacked on a second two minutes later through the boot of Conor O'Shea, Birdhill extended their lead early in the second half with a well worked goal from David Shinnors, Rearcross battled to get back in the game and were given a slim life line with fifteen minutes remaining when Mark Hogan scored the goal of the match with a splendid strike from a long range free kick out on the left, Rearcross failed to breach the Birdhill defence after this and Birdhill ran out comfortable winners with Darragh McDonald netting a fourth with as many minutes left on the stopwatch,
