National League Dungannon United Youth U12’s met with Ballymoney at the Junior Stadium, Dungannon last Saturday and secured another 3 points to keep them in contention of the National League title run.

DUY U12’s showed some glimpses of their usual style within the 60 minute match although it was apparent that they had had a period over the past few weeks without matches.

Shea Gordon was quick to put DUY ahead with a great goal ten minutes into the match when he beat the Ballymoney ‘keeper which seemed to settle the Dungannon boys.

Half time came and changes were made to the starting Dungannon line up and this resulted with a further two goals from DUY with Ballymoney only having one attack on goal.

Dalaigh Jones secured goal two for DUY and Samuel Haugh increased his goal scoring tally with DUY’s third and final goal of the match.

After the match Manager Joe McAree said: “We blew hot and cold throughout the game. Our final pass and our finishing was very poor and only Paul Donaghy and Shea Gordon stepped up to the benchmark. Quite a few of the team need to show a lot more passion and desire if we are to continue our push for a top four place.”

Man of the match was awarded to Paul Donaghy for his continuous effort throughout the game. Congratulations Paul!

Many thanks to Paul Donaghy Hartes Pharmacy for the sponsorship of this match!
