Rearcross U-10’s lose out to Birdhill in enjoyable encounter

Today saw our u10's travel to Birdhill to take on Birdhill F.C in their home ground.  Both teams were well matched with low scoring in the opening half. Kate Kennedy, Zofias Kwiecenska, Conor Richardson, Aoibheann Devitt and Ruth Johnson were very strong down the middle, keeping a strong Birdhill team scoreless for the first fifteen minutes. Robbie Maher, Cian Lenihan and Ellie O’ Gorman unlucky with a number of chances to send home a goal for Rearcross. Eve Richardson and Lauren Hartnett were instrumental in keeping Birdhill scoreless, but Birdhill managed to score two goals just before half time.

Birdhill came out in the second half the stronger team, scoring a number of goals, which made it difficult for Rearcross F.C to stay with them throughout. However, with their heads held high Aoibheann Devitt scored a great goal from a free kick. Each member of the u10 team enjoyed their trip to Birdhill F.C. The final score was 6-1 to Birdhill.  

Rearcross U-10's: Eve Richardson, Conor Richardson, Aoibheann Devitt, Aine DeVoy, Robbie Maher, Oliver Hartnett, Cian Lenihan, Kate Kennedy, Zoifas Kwescinska, Lauren Hartnett, Ellie O'Gorman, Ruth Johnston.
