Here's how we lined out

---

Ben
Keith----Cathal---Gavin---Rob
Aaron----Joe----Ciaran---Conor

---

Jules---Gary

Dave went in for Gary after HT
Ciaran got a yellow card, so Jules went into the middle
Rob came off, Conor to LB, Aaron over to LW and Steve on to RW
Darragh came on to replace Ciaran, Jules stayed CM, Darragh up front
Wes came on for Aaron, Dave went to LW, Wes up front

*************************

Free kick from Rob on the left, Ciaran header from that 1-0

Rob again delivered into the box, shot from Conor saved, second rebound saved, dropped to Conor again, shot, 2-0

Good work from Jules to play Aaron in wide right, beats a man, square to Gary, 3-0

Steve good run on right, cross/shot over keeper, 4-0

**************************

Very good, snappy interplay, early ball to forwards.

Good, intelligent posession.

Strong in defence, both fullbacks giving very good support to the wingers/CM/forwards.

We were never really that much troubled by their attack.

Good performance for the first game of the season and a team littered with new faces.

Onwards and upwards!

Good stuff lads!

dfx-

Absolutely convincing, comprehensive win from back to front.

And unlike previous high score wins, it didn't involve going crazily forward gung-ho to get the four goals which is more impressive.

I'd echo what's above, very sharp passing, people hungry for the ball and good early ball to the strikers. Defensively we were in control.

FC vaughans next week gonna be s tough one and they'll be in the mix font end of the season so 3 points is crucial.

OI!

I got 2 straight assists last night!

Jumped & won a header knock down striaght for the 2nd goal & sent a pass down the right for the 4th goal which was a shot the lad told me

Thank you very much


Joking aside great performace from 1 - 15 players last night.

Everyone had a hand in everything good.

If we keep up this intensity & commitment for all these early games we could set ourselves up for a very good season.
