Rearcross U-11's 0 - Holycross 5
Rearcross played host to division 1 table toppers Holycross last Wednesday evening under floodlights. The Rearcross side knew from past experience that this would be a tough encounter but were determined to reverse the result from the previous meeting between the two sides. Holycross started confidently but Rearcross made life difficult all over the field for the visiting side. Holycross finally made their breakthrough with 6 minutes remaining in the half when they slotted home from close range following a fine save from Pat Carroll. Rearcross began to struggle in the second half as Holycross upped the pace of the game. A second goal for the visitors came in th 14th minute of the half when a fine strike hit the roof of the Rearcross net. Things were to get worse for Rearcross for the remainder of the game when 3 more goals wre added to the visitors tally. Holycross played with the pace and skill that is required to win the league title this year however Rearcross should take some comfort that they were able to make life difficult for the league leaders for such a large period of the game.
Rearcross U-11's: Pat Carroll, James Rochford, Pat O’Toole, Trudie Hurley, Aaron McMahon, Conor Nolan, Adam Hurley, Sam Wilkins, Aoife Nolan, Stephen Carr, Grace O’Toole, Colm Carey.
