Wilton 3-4 U12 Boys
01/09/19

The U12 boys hit the ground running in this game. They were 3-0 up quite quickly. Unfortunately, Bandon became complacent and Wilton got 3 goals back to level it at halftime. Onlookers described it as dogfight in the 2nd half. It could have gone either way. Bandon felt their luck was against them when a perfectly good goal was disallowed. It appeared as if they were heading for a frustrating draw until the away side’s Tim Hegarty conjured a winner out of nothing. Bandon defended solidly for the last 10 minutes with Michal Czaja leading the rearguard action.

Goals from: Andrew lane (2), Ciaran Beecher, Tim Hegarty

01/09/19

The U12 Division 4 league champions were keen to hit the ground running in division 3. They did just that with a hard fought 3-1 away win against a very resolute Watergrasshill side.

U13A Boys 6-1 Corinthians
01/09/19

Bandon battled it out with this side and Carrigaline for the league title last season and came out on top. A big part of that success was a hard fought 1-1 draw away at Corinthians. Today was the first time the two sides met since. Bandon were very focused and scored 2 early goals. One from Matthew O Mahony and the other from Eoghan Daly. Both were very well taken goals. Corinthians found it difficult to break Bandon down as Jack Daly, Richard Tarrant, Aaron Hurley and Ryan O’Donoghue had a very solid game.
Matthew O’Mahony added a third when he expertly headed home from a corner. From here, Bandon controlled the game however Corinthians still created chances and took one to make it 4-1 at half time. Bandon came out in the second half and were determined to seal the 3 points. Adam Griffin made sure of this with his second of the game. Griffin captained the side today and played a superb game. O’Mahony sealed his hat trick with a well taken free kick in to the top corner. There were also good performances from Eoghan Daly and Jack Good. Aris Belavanis put in a good shift also with 2 assists. A good win for the home side to kickstart their season and overall, the entire team played very well.

Man of the Match: Hat trick hero Matthew O’Mahony. Not only did he score three goals, but he worked hard all over the pitch for his team.

Bandon press again after the tip off and were unlucky to be caught on the counter.
