Saturday Sheeran Round Up

November 13th

-

York Road 10 v 4 Ladyswell B

-

Ladyswell manager Mick Loftus found himself without a number of key players and once again found himself on the match card. Despite this his charges who had been on a high after picking up a 1 v 0 victory in the first Ladyswell derby the previous weekend. The away side were at one stage 3 v 1 down but once again their battling spirit seen them catch the home side and overtake them to be in the lead 4 v 3 with John Cunningham getting his first goal of the season.

-

The joy stopped there for Ladyswell as York Road re-took the lead and with that Mick decided to take a chance and go three at the back only to find that his side became slightly exposed and some crucial decisions were seen to have gone against the away side. York Road were flattered by the final scoreline as Ladyswell found they were unlucky.

Man of the Match

John Cunningham

Ladyswell C 0 V 4 Rialto

-

Ladyswell C manager Kevin Caulfield who is out with an injury left the rains in the capable hands of Paulie and Stewart. Although of late Ladyswell C are finding it difficult to find there feet and a travelling Rialto were not in the humour to allow them the luxury. Despite some superb work in the first half from Robert Kelly up top Ladyswell could not find the target and paid the price as they went into the break 2 v 0 down. The second half seen the home side try push on but they just could not find an illusive goal but the Rialto side finished off the game with two second half goals.

November 20th

Ladyswell 1 v 3 Yellowstone

-

Ladyswell welcomed an in form Yellowstone to a wet and muddy Damastown. Once again Mick Loftus would be without some key players but would still put a good side out. Ladyswell have not been able to find winning ways in the Sheeran and with only one game to go the focus will be back on the league and the move up the table. Ladyswell's David Farrell would score the home sides only goal in a decent game of football that would see another number of good performances. The home side may well feel they deserved something but were slightly unlucky.

-

Man of the Match

Shane Smith

-

Ladyswell C 0 v 4 Smithfield

-

Ladyswell would face Smithfield and would play them on a watery pitch although the home side started brightly it was an individual error which seen them lose parity and shortly after as Ladyswell began pushing forward they found themselves two down and the game would now see the home side having to continuously pushing forward with Robert Kelly and Peter Flynn causing problems up top.

-

The second half would see Ladyswell attack but as the game went on the home side would see the game put beyond them as Smithfield got the third goal and Subsequently the fourth that would seal the game.

-

Man of The Match

Damien Bernes

Decimated Ladyswell Falter in the Park

Frankford 4 v 0 Ladyswell Sunday

-

Ladyswell manager Michael Wilders had absolutely no problem picking a team for his sides Sheeran cup game away to Major division side Frankford, as his decimated side turned up with just eleven men. The away side started brightly and had a wonderful opportunity as Martin White pulled his shot wide of the Frankford goal. It was 10 minutes in before the home side had their first opportunity which was headed clear by the returning captain Christopher McEntaggart.

-

It was the away side who would take the lead before the break when a headed goal left Moloney stranded but the Ladyswell keeper was called on again when a shot from 30 yards had to be pushed over his bar. Ladyswell had their opportunities with David Farrell in the middle of the park pulling the strings and almost set away Sam Nevin who shot just wide.

-

Ladyswell came out the second half and although a goal down they continued to play the ball along the ground and where looking the better side but it was the major division side who extended their lead a stinging shot from 20 yards that although a diving Moloney could not keep out.

-

The third goal came shortly after and from that point Ladyswell tried to push on and get something from the game and in doing so were left slightly exposed but although they conceded a forth late on the away side deserved something from the game. It would be fair to say that the busier of the two keepers in the second half was Ladyswell's but throughout the game the away side continued to try to pass the ball with David Farrell and Graham O'Kelly pulling the strings.

-

Ladyswell will take some positives from the game although the scoreline seemed heavy the side performed well and no player left the pitch without giving 100%.

Ladyswell B off the Mark

Ladyswell C 0 V 1 Ladyswell B

-

At the beginning of the season after a wonderful pre-season were both teams performed so well there was an optimism that they would bring that form into the the season proper and hopefully they would be challenging each other at the top of the league. Although things have not gone exactly to plan this weekends derby game would see the two sides face off against each other.

-

The talk was that the two sides were involved in a basement battle but it is too early in the season for that talk and three points for either side would be welcome. The Ladyswell C side as the home team would change from the normal yellow and blue to a red and blue away jersey.

-

Ladyswell C started brightly and had the early opportunity to take the lead but were denied by the returning Robert Simpson in the Ladyswell B goal. The C team were pushing on with renewed vigour and should of had another goal when Robert Kelly was again denied by Simpson. The B team took their time to settle although there first opportunity was a shot dragged wide of the goal this gave them the drive to push on.

-

The B team now had an enthusiasm and were creating opportunities with Moloney in the C teams goal having to make a number of saves from distance. The C team were not totally pinned back with them having opportunities of their own which Simpson was equal too.

-

It was Ladyswell B who took the lead before the end of the first half after Aidan Burke received a through ball from the vigilant Keenan and from 25 yards drove the ball into the bottom corner and although the diving Moloney got a hand on it the ball nestled in the bottom left corner.

-

Ladyswell B started the second half the brighter but Brian Reid at centre half for the C team was having a man of the match performance and was frustrating the B sides Alan King and Jay Morgan who replaced Ian Kenna at half time. The C team took on the challenge of being one down and tried to create some opportunities with the best of those falling to Damien Bernes who should of levelled. The B team also had a wonderful opportunity to seal the points as once again Aidan Burke broke through and struck the bottom of the post and a scrambling Moloney just got back to pick up the rebound.

-

Ladyswell B would come away with all three points as both sides had put up a wonderful performance and even the referee enjoyed the game and felt it could of gone either way. B side manager Mick Loftus was delighted with his teams performance and hopes that his team will now kick on. While Kevin Caulfields side felt slightly unlucky not to get something from the game but the side can build on a good performance.

Ladyswell Get No Boh

Bohs Sc 0 v 3 Ladyswell Sunday

-

Unfortunately Bohs were unable to field a team so Ladyswell picked up the three points and a three nil win but as Bohs had nine men Ladyswell would give them two players and a friendly would take place which seen manager Michael Wilders make a number of changes from last week.

-

Bohs 3 v 4 Ladyswell (Sunday) - Friendly-

-

Mark O'Donnell and Alan Devlin would done the Bohemians jerseys for this one and midway through the second half so would Thomas Hand. Ladyswell started brightly and an unlikely scorer set them on their way with Moloney opening his account.

-

Ladyswell would soon be pegged back but the away side were not to be denied and Stephen Hand returned to the scoresheet as he gave Ladyswell another lead. Ladyswell were playing nice football but the friendly atmosphere and the number of changes found them slightly lacklustre.

-

The game itself seemed to be going sideways as both sides were enjoying the friendly and were trying all the flicks and passing and Gary Nolan benefited as Ladyswell got a penalty and he duly stuck it away.

-

After some unlikely defending by Ladyswell the home side got themselves back in the game and then Ladyswell stepped it up again and Gary Nolan netted his second of the day but Bohs were not done and placed a lovely free kick in the bottom corner.

-

Ladyswell Sunday would also see a cameo from a returning Colm Moran late on in the second half.

Up's and Down's

The Positive
-
Kill Fc 2 v 2 Ladyswell B
-
Mick Loftus and his charges travelled the long distance to Naas to face a Kill side who had recently seen off their C side in a one sided game. Mick Loftus would be forced into a number of changes as Ciaran Ennis, Robert Simpson and Ian Kenna.
-
Ladyswell were dealt an early blow when the captain Dermot Ennis limped off with his knee injury which is persisting and also stopped him from starting against Hoganville last week. This would see last seasons top scorer Shane Smith would revert to centre half.
-
The team played the ball around really well and tested the home side on a number of occasions with Mick Loftus pleasantly pleased with his team who put in a valiant response with Keith Clarke and David Farrell on the score sheet and came away with a deserved draw despite being reduced to ten late on.

The Negative

Inchicore Rangers 4 v 0 Ladyswell C
-
Ladyswell C like there counterparts Ladyswell B have yet to pick up a league win but this week their focus changed to the Sheeran cup and would travel to Brickfields to play high flying Inchicore rangers from the outset the home side seemed to have the rub of the green and Ladyswell C just could not get their game going. Although Ladyswell C had a welcomed break from the league and the continuing bad run which had not been helped by being reduced to nine men.
-
Although the away side fought hard the home side would take advantage and leave with three points in the Sheeran cup and leave Ladyswell with a mountain to climb in their group.

Sunday Side Get Out Of Jail

Shamrock Celtic 3 v 4 Ladyswell (Sunday)

-

After making seven changes for last weeks game against Woodbine Ladyswell manager Michael Wilders reverted to his normal formation. Moloney would move back into the defence with the return of David Moran.

-

Ladyswell started brightly and early on tested the Shamrock keeper who made a fabulos save. Ladyswell's way ward shooting was beginning to prove a problem as a number of shots found their way into the Northside Shopping center car park.

-

Ladyswell soon beat the home side keeper when a cross come shot from Thomas Hand ended up in the Shamrock net but this only evened up the game at on all. The home team were kick started by the equaliser and were soon back in front just before half time after some sloppy defending.

-

Moloney paid the price at half time for the disjointed back four. The second half seen a better performance from the away side and despite a blip midway through which seen Shamrock get their third the "Fiddler" Show took over as he went on to secure the win with a hat-trick on the day. So Ladyswell take three points on the road in the Sheeran Cup.

Ladyswell C 0 v 3 Islandbridge

Ladyswell Still Cant get Over the Victory Bridge

-

Ladyswell C manager Kevin Caulfield has been working hard to get his lads ready for their weekend fixtures by focusing on the football aspect. Unfortunately for Kevin and Ladyswell C they would be without a couple of regulars including their Goalkeeper.

-

Fresh from his Tv appearance Johnnie Walker took charge of this one and as always Johnnie was keen to protect the players from heavy challenges which seen the game focus on football. Ladyswell started brightly but the Away side grew into the game and took the lead with a goal that found the keeper on the small side.

-

As Ladyswell looked to push on and get an equaliser Islandbridge broke well and some good football seen the second goal sneak in. Ladyswell C were now under pressure and were trying to push Islandbridge back but unfortunately they were wasteful in their efforts and a solitary second half shot on target from the home side seen Ladyswell falter and Islandbridge took a third goal to kill off the game.

Ladyswell B welcomed Hoganville to Damastown, it would be the first time Hoganville had been back in Damastown since their promotion to division 1. The two sides started brightly with the first chance falling to the home side. Ladyswell looked to play some nice football but it was the away side who took the lead after some decent football from back to front.

-

Hoganville kicked on from their goal and began to grow in confidence Ladyswell continued to play the right way but the Division one side showed why they have not lost this season as they continued forward and racked up the goals. Ladyswell continued to try play football and got a consolation goal late in the first half.
