Juniors!

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

Report: Anthony Horgan.

It is with regret to announce that the Youghal United Junior team is to be withdrawn from the league with immediate effect. The squad has been going through some rough times recently in trying to fill a team at weekends especially on Sunday mornings.  A good management team was in place in Pat McCarthy , John Heaphy and Ray Fraser and the committee are at a loss as to why the players didn’t give them committment at the weekends. Also , I would like to add that at the begining of the season a delegate team from the club went to meet with the Munster Senior League board to put a case forward and convince them that the Juniors would see out the season if they allowed us entry into the league as this is not the first time this has happened. Now the club is left with egg on it’s face again and in the forseeable future will find it impossible to enter a junior team. It has cost the club in fine’s for not fulfilling fixtures and also lost a bond that was put up at the start of the season. In conclusion everyone is dissapointed with the players involved and finally I would like to thank Pat McCarthy ,  John Heaphy and Ray Fraser for their time and effort.

Seniors.

Youghal United 0 – 1 Fermoy.

The lads missed a chance to close the gab on league leaders Fermoy recently with a one nil defeat at home. Youghal will be frustrated with this result as they had enough chances to get a result from the game. This weekend’s fixture fell foul to the weather conditions but all eyes will be on next weeks fixture away to fello promotion rivals Ballinhassig. Youghal will be looking to get something from this fixture so they can keep them at bay.

Youghal United 1 – 0 Nufarm Athletic

The boys needed to be on top form here for the duration of the game as Nufarm are excellent opposition. Youghal started well and were on top for most of the game only to be caught offside on a number of occasions as Nufarm were a well organised outfit at the back. On the other hand Youghal were unlucky not to take the lead on a number of occasions when Danny Walsh hit the upright and Ronan O’ Sullivan had a good effort tipped onto the crossbar. Ronan however did pop up to decide this match with a great strike.  Overall this was a good performance by the whole team and a special mention to Connor Finn who stepped in to replace our regular keeper.
