Our U17 minor boys continued their Keane’s SuperValu County League Division 1A League campaign with a hard-fought away victory over Killarney Legion on Saturday afternoon last. Legion started strongly and an early goal gave them a slight lead. Our boys responded well and narrowed the gap to one point as the clock brought us closer to the break. However, an unfortunate defensive mix-up led to another Legion goal and, regrettably, that had us 0-4 down at half-time. Scór leathama….Legion 2-4; AdeS: 0-6. We began the second half in a very determined and steely Rock-like manner and put the Legion kick out under relentless pressure for the rest of the game. That tactic worked well and resulted in our dominance in possession and, ultimately, on the scoreboard. We conceded only two further points to Legion in the second half while our tireless Rockies tagged on 1-7 and that left us 0-4 ahead ag séideadh deireanach fheadóg an réiteora. Killarney Legion: 2-6; Austin Stacks: 1-13.
This was a closely fought contest and the win must be attributed to our team spirit and tireless work ethic in both defence and attack. Well done, boys of The Rock! A great start to the league….tosach maith, leath na hoibre!
Our next match will be against Listowel Emmets and we’ll play away on Saturday next, March 2nd, at 3pm. Good luck, lads!
