U19 Men’s game against Carnaross Friday night oct 19th

Simonstown 4—13 (2--7)    Carnaross  4—17 (1--6).     A Roller Coaster of scoring  with 30 points ( a point every second minute approx. ) coupled  with  8 goals  was the exciting fare  served up in this Under—19 match in Simonstown  on Friday night. For different  reasons Simonstown  were missing a number of  appropriate aged players at this grade and most of  team was made up  of seventeen year olds ( Minor Team Players) which is a steep step up for younger players. They did really well  and scored 4—13—all from play.    Carnaross started brightly with two pointed frees while Aaron Farrelly slotted over and McKenzie-Doyle fired to the Carnaross net to give he Navan men 1—1 to 0—2 lead after twelve minutes. Further  white flag  scores from Jack Collier,Ruairi Brady, Cian Newman and Farrelly left Simons in front 1—5 to 0—5 with twenty five played.  Two minutes later  Aaron Farrelly palmed  Simons second goal after some fine combination play between himself and Jack Collier. McKenzie\_Doyle added two more points in normal time. Carnaross added a free and their  forwards combined to  cut through the  hosts defence for a well taken goal in second minute of added time. Half  Time ;  Simons 2—7 Carnaross 1--6        Simonstown started second half with McKinsey-Doyle and Jack Collier points and  the Ruairi Brady  calmy finish a fine move with low ground shot just inside post to put Simons 3—9 to 1—6 in front with  four second half minutes played.  Carnaross   became dominant and hit a purple patch  and added  3—4   while McKinsey -Doyle tapped  to leave Carnaross leading 4—10  to 3—10 as the fourth quarter got under way.  Good  Simonstown team play resulted with McKinsely -Doyle rattling  the  net for his second of the night with eight to play and the scoreboard reading Carn.4—15 Sims 4—11. The Navan men then threw everything into attack and the Carnaross  keeper made a number of saves and their backs blocked goal attempts  to hold  on. Doyle and Farrelly added two late points  for Simons.  Final Score; Simonstown;  4—13 Carnaross  4--17.          **\*\*\* Simonstown;** Dylan Phelan..Adam Tormey, Cian McKeever, Conor Staunton...Alex McGarry, David Kavanagh, Cody Chinchilla....Oran Meade, Michael McMahon...Conor Harding, Ruairi Brady (1—1), McKenzie Doyle (2—5)...Cian Newman (0--1), Aaron Farrelly (1—3), Jack Collier (0--2)... **\*\*\*Subs;** Sean McDermott/ C.Staunton   Will Byrne/C.Harding   Nathan Reilly (0--1)/ A.McGarry   Sean Brady/D.Kavanagh   Charlie Kane/ C.Chinchilla **\*\*\*Exted Panel;**  Jack Kane, Davy Heffernan, Aaron Woods, Conor Foley, Patrick Shiels , Rian Alder, Eoghan Rogers.

U16B Ladies v Ratoath

Well done to everyone today . We started off slow and found it bit hard to get ourselves into the game . Ratoath had a great little team who never gave up their fight to get scores . Simonstown came in at half time and few adjustments were made around the pitch and the girls started finding the confidence  in themselves again and the scores started to creep up .. well done to Ratoath and thank you for a great game . Simonstown 16B ladies came away with a comfortable win in the end . Thank you to all who travelled this Morning . Next up in the league for the ladies is Dunboyne at home ….
