Youghal United 1 – 1 Leeds AET Youghal win 4-2 on penalties

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

Report : Anthony Horgan.

Another great result for the lads here this time in the beamish cup as they knock out first division Leeds who are battling to be promoted to the premier division. The Youghal goal scored by Brendan O’ Sullivan who helped his side into a penalty shot out and this time came out on the right side earning a quarter final tie yet to be drawn. Youghal previously lost a shootout earlier this season in the intermediate cup away to Ringmahon so it was nice to reverse fortunes. Earlier in this cup competition Youghal defeated Carrigaline another first division side 2-1. If anything it shows that the senior team can hold their own against teams in the higher division. Below is a look at the division 2 league table and with only two games remaining we hope to clinch the promotion spot.

Under 13 boys Youghal United 5-1 Greenmount.

A good solid performance by Youghal who were two nil up at half time despite some very poor refereeing in favour of Greenmount. The lads had an excellent goal disallowed and a couple of corner descisions given as goal kicks. They kept to the task in hand and Jake Power scored from a great cross by Mathew Murphy and shortly afterwards scored his second after a goal mouth scramble for us to go in 2 up at the break. In the second half Jake bagged another to secure his hat trick via the penalty spot. Greenmount got one back but Danny Walsh resumed penalty taking duties to go 4-1 up after Colin Keenaghan was taken down in the box. Alex ledingham scored to complete a great win for the boys!

Under 12 Girls Youghal United 0-2 Lakewood.

The girls bowed out in the cup competition to a well experienced and established Lakwood side. The girls can keep their heads held high and regroup to do better next time. Well done to all involved.
