DUY U11’s transfer window closes

Kash Under 11's

DUY U11’s returned to action this week after a five week layoff for the “transfer tests” their latest fixture was their 3rd  away league game of this season against Seagoe Boys at Lurgan Public Park. You would have expected after this long layoff that both teams would be very rusty but they both started the game well,  passing and playing some attractive football. DUY always looked that little bit sharper and began to assert a lot of pressure on the Seagoe goals. Dylan O’Hagan got on the end of flowing move to open the scoring. Oran Mallon with some great fullback play put in cross after cross with Tyler Blair, Cameron McMullan and Adam Patterson all tucking away their chances. Robbie Brown as usual patrolling the midfield area then set up Cameron for his second of the game with a thunderous left foot drive. At the other end any trouble was quickly averted and when the Seagoe winger looked odds on to score Emmett Hughes put in a goal saving tackle. After a good move down the left with the midfield swopping passes Cameron McMullan squared the ball for Dylan O’Hagan to coolly slot home. The next goal was a rasping shot from Oran Mallon he cut in from the right and hit the top corner. This was quickly followed by another Tyler Blair instinctive strike. DUY were now passing and controlling all the play but Seagoe never gave up fighting. Half time whistle was blown 8-0 to DUY.

Coach Davy Tate then made a few changes and DUY came out with the same commitment as the first half. Arnas Irzikevilius strong running continued to cause problems on the right side and Micheal Conroy showing some great wing play on the left. The reshuffled team also saw Matthew Gibson , Jake Montgomery and Peter Beacham make promising contributions to the team. Goals still kept coming with Adam Patterson scored his 2nd with a shot from the edge of the box. Seagoe then had a great period of play with their No7 causing problems with his pace but his efforts on goal were both saved well Josh Willis keeping his clean sheet in tact. The forward partnership of Dylan and Tyler were causing Seagoe all sorts of problems with both getting two more goals apiece to complete the scoring.

Great credit to Seagoe for fighting all the way and never giving up. DUY controlled the game well and continued their impressive form after such a long layoff  well done lads next match is a top of the table class with Dromore Amateurs at Kernan playing fields.
