BOYS U-12A
Bandon under 12As travelled this
weekend down to Douglas Hall, looking for 3 points to put them in
second place in their league, which is exactly what they did. However
they made it very hard for themselves with only 10 men, they had a bad
start going down 1 nil in the first 10 minutes, this didnt affect
Bandon as they came back with 3 great goals from Lee Holland, Connie O
Donoghue and Colm Fogerty, this put Bandon 3 - 1 up at the break.
Bandon Came out in the second half
asleep and allowed Douglas to score 2 goals in concession, it was man
of the Match Connie O Donoghue with his second goal, that gave Bandon
the 3 points that they needed to move up the table to second. Bandon
now look forward going into the new year.
