Mungret Regional 0 : Aisling Annacotty 4
AISLING CRUISE THROUGH TO FINAL
Aisling Annacotty advanced to the final of the under 11 Premier Division Cup following a comprehensive victory over league winners Mungret Regional. Following lasts weeks close encounter in the league playoff, another close match was expected but it turned out to be a one sided affair with Aisling dominating from start to finish.
Played in Mugret last Friday evening, Mungret started brightly and forced the Aisling keeper Sean Fitzpatrick into some early saves. However after ten minutes Darran Golden O’Mahoney found space on the edge of the area and his right footed shot found the bottom right hand corner of the net. Aisling continued to dominate the first half and Mark O’Dwyer on the left wing was causing a lot of problems for the Mungret defence. Soon after Aisling doubled their lead when Niall Lougran beat the offside trap and ran onto a Daragh O’Leary through ball before calmly sliding it past the advancing Mungret keeper. Aisling failed to add to the scoring in the first half despite creating numerous chances.
Playing with the wind and down a slight hill in the second half, Mungret threw everything at the Aisling goal, but the Aisling defence of Shane Carmody, Dara Neville, David Power and Daniel Enright held firm. Mungret created chances in this period through Clyde O’Connell and Colm Walsh but they were easily dealt with by Sean Fitzpatrick in the Aisling goal. After 15 minutes of the second half Niall Loughran ran onto an Eoghan Carew through ball to get his second of the game, and his fifth goal in two games. Aisling continued to dominate the game and added a fourth goal near the end when a left footed shot from Mark O’Dwyer found the bottom left hand corner.
Aisling now advance to the final, where they will play Coonagh United in Glenbrook on Friday evening.

LOUGHRAN HAT TRICK SEES AISLING THROUGH TO SEMI FINALS
Following a disappointing end to their league campaign, Aisling Annacotty got back to winning ways with a comfortable win over a good Corbally side, in the first round of the Divisional Cup.
From the start Aisling pressed forward and were rewarded after 10 minutes when Niall Loughran got his first of the game following good build up work from Darren Coughlan on the right wing.
With the Aisling midfield of Darran Golden O’Mahoney, Jamie Power and Mark O’Dwyer dominating it wasn’t long before Niall Loughran got his second goal of the game, with a well taken shot through a crowded penalty area.
The second half started differently however with Corbally pressing forward and within 10 minutes of the restart Ewan Murphy beat two Aisling forwards before calming slotting the ball past the advancing keeper.This seemed to spur the Aisling side back to life and again it was Loughran who restored their two goal advantage with a superb finish from wide on the right.
Aisling were unlucky not to extend their lead when a Gerard Clancy header cannoned off the crossbar from a Joseph Lavin cross.
Aisling now advance to the semi final where they will meet Mungret Regional in a repeat of their recent league place off.

Mungret Regional – 3 : Aisling Annacotty – 2 (AET)
Twelve league games could not separate these two teams and it took extra time in this league playoff to finally decide the destination of the under 11 Premier League trophy.
Played on superb Glenbrook surface and before a large crowd, this game turned out to be one of the best games of the season.
Mungret Regional started the better and the Aisling Annacotty keeper, Sean Fitzpatrick, needed to be at his best to keep the game scoreless. Aisling gradually got themselves back into the game and created the better of the first half chances, only for the Mungret keeper to deny Niall Loughran on two occasions. The first half ended scoreless.
The second half proved to be a real end to end affair with both sides creating numerous chances. It was Aisling who took the lead however when Mark O’Dwyer ran onto a through ball to open the scoring. Within two minutes however Mungret were back on level terms when Sam Warde powerfully headed in a Clyde O’Connell corner. Both teams continued to push forward in this open and end to end game and yet again Aisling took the lead when a Daniel Hession volley found the top corner of the net giving the Mungret net minder little chance.
Mungret now pushed forward in search of an equaliser and it arrived with two minutes left on the clock, when Colm Walsh found the net following a mix up in the Aisling defence, which had defended soundly all day. Soon after the referee’s whistle sounded for full time and the game entered extra time.
With both sides tiring chances were created at both ends but it was Mungret who got the decisive goal when Colm Walsh beat the Aisling defence. His shot was brilliantly saved by Sean Fitzpatrick but the ball rebounded straight back into his path and he calmly finished.
Despite their best efforts Aisling could not get the equalizer and this thrilling game finished soon after, with Mungret winning the Under 11 Premier League Trophy.
After the game Ken O’Brien of the LDSL presented the winning captain with their trophy. Both sides should be congratulated on producing a superb and sporting game of football which kept the large crowd on tender hooks to the very end.

Mungret Regional – 2 : Aisling Annacotty – 3
Aisling Annacotty regained top spot in the Under 11 Premier League with a deserved victory over fellow title contenders Mungret Regional.
Played in glorious sunshine in Mungret on Saturday morning, Mungret Regional started brightly and dominated first half possession. However the Aisling defence of Shane Carmody, Daniel Enright, Eoghan Carew and Dara Neville were outstanding and managed to keep the amount of goal scoring chances created by the Mungret forward line to a minimum. Behind them Sean Fitzpatrick made a couple of outstanding saves to leave the sides level at half time.
The second half turned out to be a different story however, with the Aisling Annacotty team beginning to settle and gradually taking control of the midfield exchanges where Daragh O’Leary and the tireless Daniel Hession began to dominate. After 10 minutes of the restart Niall Loughran ran onto a Dara Neville free kick and coolly slotted the ball past the advancing keeper to give Aisling the lead. This seemed to give the away team more confidence and they pushed forward in search of a second. This arrived shortly afterwards when a long shot from Darran Golden O’Mahoney caught the Mungret goal keeper off his line.
At this stage Aisling were totally dominating the game and with 10 minutes remaining following good approach work from Mark O’Dwyer and Alan Nicholas, Niall Loughran, with a superb strike, got his second and his team’s third of the match to end the game as a contest.
With minutes remaining Mungret Regional were awarded a penalty, which was duly converted by Clyde O’Connell and with the last kick of the game Mungret grabbed a further consolation goal.
This result leaves Aisling Annacotty one point ahead of Mungret and a game less played, and in pole position for the league title.

Aisling started the second half brightly and after five minutes doubled their lead when, after a period of intense pressure, a Daniel Hession shot found the back of the net. At this stage the Aisling midfield were dominant and with full backs Conor Doyle and Rory Cusack pushing forward at every opportunity, it was only a matter of time before they increased their lead.
Midway through the half, following good work from Gerard Clancy, Mark O’Dwyer found the net with a shot from the edge of the box. Aisling created further chances but yet again it was the Caherdavin goalie who kept them from increasing their lead. With minutes remaining however Alan Nicholas found space on the left and his cross field pass found Darren Coughlan whose low drive found the bottom corner.
