U21 footballers leave it too late

U21 FC A Skerries Harps 1-11 St Sylvesters 2-06 A disappointing display by the U21s who only got going with two very late goals but Harps were composed enough to take another point and win by two. A feature of the game was the magnificent display by Skerries full forward Harry Dawson, made the journey north worthwhile and we look forward to seeing more of Harry in the light blue of Dublin in the coming season.

With a wind straight down the field behind us in the first half we found it difficult to score, shooting from far out, while Harps were working the ball better and led by a few points at the break. We pressed hard but missed a penalty and ran into a packed defense until Max Cassidy shipped a heavy challenge but took the free quickly to find a hole and make the first goal. We got another almost immediately punching a cross but again Skerries pointed off the break and we were left to try for a goal of a 14 yard free by Fionn Cahill at the death which they handled ok.
