Club Ireland 1 @ 0 Shaheen FC
A very well played match by the Bhoy's considering we played with a juggled line-up today. McCartney Creek Park is a great pitch that held up incredibly well in the torrential rain.
Outside of providing Shaheen with one goal-scoring opportunity early in the game, we controlled the entire first half and went into the break with a deserved one-goal lead.
Second half saw Shaheen come more into the game with a couple of smart substitutions helping their cause. We defended doggedly and caught them on the fast-break time after time but didn't finish our chances. Thankfully we didn't pay for out missed chances today as Shaheen's best opportunity came off a corner that was cleared off the goal line by our sweeper.
A very satisfying 3-points that keeps us in the mix, gets us back on track, and takes us into next week against Royal United.
