Final Score: Mogeely 3-1 Lismore
Mogeely 3
Lismore 1
Mogeely were back in action last Sunday when they welcomed Lismore to Railway Park for their 2nd competitive league game of the season. Following on from their victory in the SFAI cup 1st round the previous week Mogeely were going into this game knowing Lismore would present a tough challenge and would have to maintain their good performance to get anything from the game.
Mogeely started with a similar defensive outfit as the previous week, Matt in goals and Evan, Chris & Oran holding the defensive line. Jake, Ciaran and Oliver started in the middle of the park and the 2 Andrew's headed up the attack.
Mogeely had tip and started the game brightly, retaining much of the possession and moving the ball around nicely. With 6mins on the clock Oliver, who was working well in midfield had the ball in the Lismore net, 1 up. Mogeely continued to press but Lismore were beginning to find a couple of gaps in Mogeely's defense and creating some chances of their own, however the lads quickly pulled up their socks and continued to keep Lismore at bay.
Midway into the half Ciaran, who was working hard added a second for Mogeely. Oliver added a further goal a few minutes later and Mogeely were doing well. With their strength in numbers Mogeely were able to introduce fresh legs of Cian B., Alex, Fionn & Aaron into the game who all slotted seamlessly into their positions.
Lismore however never gave up and pulled one back with a few minutes before halftime. The second half was a fairly even contest with both sides defending stoutly and at the same time not afraid to take on the defenses. Mogeely brought on further fresh legs in Darius, Cian A. & newcomer Alan who all freshened up Mogeely's options in midfield and attack.
Overall a very good result for the home side who were made to work hard by a very good Lismore side. Well done to all involved.
