Every match is important for Dungannon United Youth Under 11’s if they want to keep their chance at contending with the top of the Mid Ulster League Table!

Today took DUY under 11’s to Kernan to meet Tandragee.

Almost immediately Dungannon were put under pressure when Tandragee midfield chipped the ball over our defence and beat goal keeper Gavin Corr.

The whistle had barely blown to start the game when DUY uncharacteristically had to chase the game to regain control.

Some excellent passing from our lads saw Connor Murtagh beat a fantastic Tandragee goal keeper to equal the score and settle the DUY boys down enough to start playing better football and maintain some decent possession.

It wasn’t long until Dungannon took the lead with Paul Donnelly adding to his amazing goal scoring tally this season. Daniel Kerr didn’t take long to get in on the action, producing one of his brilliant chips, nestling the ball into the top left hand corner of the opposing net.

DUY’s number 5, Naoise Martin rivaled Daniel Kerr for the goal of the match when he blasted the ball from outside the penalty box to bring his season tally to two.

The second half was DUY back at their best, winning balls, passing solidly and making plenty of shots on goal. Praise must go to the Tandragee goalie who pulled off some excellent saves throughout the match.

By the full time whistle, goals had also been scored by Shea Gordon, Oran Mallon, Adam Patterson and Captain Dailagh Jones, who also was awarded Man of the Match for yet another solid performance.

Congratulations boys on your high scoring win!
