Faughart Rovers 2-3 Edentubber Rovers F.C

The new season of the North Louth Winter

league started last Sunday with Edentubber Rovers travelling to

Ravensdale to play Faughart in what

turned out to be

an entertaining game. Faughart got off to the perfect start with a

goal from David Gray from a corner inside the first 5 minutes. It took Edentubber 15/20 minutes to shake off the start of

they controlled most of the possession. A

one on one between Gareth Murphy and

Faugharts goalkeeper, seen Murphy scew

the ball wide, but he made up for this just

before half time with a lovely strike from outside the box which found the left hand

side of the goal. Half time ended 1-1 with Edentubber perhaps fearing they would be made regret their dominance not being converted to goals.

The second half started much like the first, Barry O Hara for Edentubber impressed in midfeild and controlled much of the game. Faughart had a couple of chances to take

the lead also and were always a threat on

the break. Edentubber finally got the lead ten minutes before the end when

substitute Lee Rice snatched on to a loose

ball in the box and poked it home into the bottom corner. They then pushed for a

third but were made pay in the 90th minute when Faughart caught them on the

counter attack and broke down the feild to

cross a ball into the box to Andy Falcus who steered it in from 5 yards. The game seemed to be going for a draw but much

like last season Niall Magennis had a different ideas for Edentubber. A ball over

the top to Niall seen him loose his marker,

compose himself and rifle a beautifully composed outside of the foot volley into
