<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; line-height: 125%;">St Mary's FC Under 13's maintained their 100% winning start to their league campaign with a gritty come from behind 5 - 2 victory against Lough Moss Jets at Ormeau Park on Saturday.&nbsp; <br /><br />The boys started a little hesitantly, perhaps they were all a little tired after the St Mary&rsquo;s disco on Friday night! The first chance of the game fell to Parke whose shot from 12 yards was well saved by the Lough Moss keeper.&nbsp; Minutes later McNaughton was put through and fired over the bar.&nbsp; After 12 minutes St Mary's took the lead when a 20 yard daisycutter from McCormcik gave the keeper no chance.&nbsp; Instead of pressing home their advantage, the Saints took their foot off the pedal and allowed Lough Moss back into the game.&nbsp; From an in-swinging corner, defender Lynch put through his own goal while trying to clear the ball.&nbsp; It got worse 2 minutes later when a ball over the top had the defence well beaten and the striker lashed the ball past keeper Morgan for a 2 - 1 lead.&nbsp; <br /><br />St Mary&rsquo;s pressed for an equaliser and it arrived on the stroke of half-time through Parke got a well deserved goal and proceeded with a celebratory dance with the corner flag! <br /><br />Half time 2 - 2 <br /><br />St Mary&rsquo;s piled the pressure on straight from the kick off and took the lead when O'Reilly picked up a pass from McGarrity on the left wing and drove into the box before slotting coolly home for a 3 - 2 lead.&nbsp; St Mary&rsquo;s pressure had Lough Moss on the defensive with Bannon, Ross, McNaughton and McGarrity getting the upper hand in midfield. With ten minutes remaining a Ross through ball sent both Parke and O'Reilly clear, with O'Reilly taking charge and rounding the keeper to extend the lead. <br /><br />Breen and McCormick both came close to making it 5 before Ross, kept up his goal a game record with a shot from distance which had the keeper well beaten.&nbsp; Star men this week were Lynch and McCormick.
