A massive win for the lads on Sunday with 3 points claimed in style. With some big games coming up let’s hope this is the wind in their sails for the business end of the season.

A cagey first ten minutes was turned on his heels by the 15th minute mark. Johnny Sullivan key in the making of two goals less than 5mins apart. Ger Riordan and Cian Culhane scored the first of their two goals with Ger doubling his tally after 25mins with a great finish,
from a Cian Culhane assist.

Goal poacher turned provider on 35mins when Ger Riordan played through Johnny Sullivan for a neat finish. Moments later, the torn in the Rathkeale defence Ger Riordan was navigating his way through the 18 yard box when he was duly fouled for a spot kick. Up stepped Cian Culhane to make it 5-0 at half time.

Some important key squad members saw action in the second half with Ger, Cian and Aidan making way for Paul, Alerrandro and Daniel. Billy Hogan who got up from defence, finished an attack 10mins into second half to make it 6-0.

Johnny Sullivan completed a hatrick of assists when he played through Alerrandro Filipe for one of the pick of the goals Sunday afternoon. A neat through ball saw Alerrandro burst through the Rathkeale defence and slide the ball under the advancing keeper for great taken goal.

Padraig Horan’s defence of Adam, Aidan, Joe and Bernard worked hard as a unit. The central midfield of Karol and Ronan put in a great shift supporting defence and offering attack reinforcements. The advancing forwards and strikers of Cian, Billy, Ger & Johnny contributed to all 7 goals due to their attack play and finishing.

7-0 was the final score with a tough defeat on Rathkeale who never gave up. A much needed and valuable win for the lads who now take to the road next Sunday in the Quarter Final of the Reidy Cup against Shannonside.

Team:
Padraig Horan, Billy Hogan, Aidan Mulvihill, Joe Stack, Bernard Dalton, Adam Robb, Karol Geogehan, Ronan Culhane, Cian Culhane, Ger Riordan, Johnny Sullivan, Felipe Tunnermann, David Daly, Maurice Fitzgerald, Daniel Pereira, Alerrandro Filipe, Darragh McKenna, Paul Ngini.

John Wallace on the double.

Great win for the lads tonight. Leading 2-0 mid way through the second half, Breska pulled a goal back but solid defending by the lads saw through for a valuable 3 points 💪🏽

 

Back to back wins in a week in Breska is no easy feat with the the A’s moving onto 13 points.

Youths Div 2 League Cup Final Result.

 

Glin Rovers v Feenagh  3-0.

Great save from a Feenagh penalty on 12 mins by Daragh Mullane to keep it 0-0.

Fionn, Conor and Donnagh keeping Feenaghs back line very busy in opening 15 minutes.

Feenagh put the ball into the back of the net on 25 mins but it was dissalowed for offside.

2nd Half

Feenagh score on 50 mins.

Good save by Darragh Mullane at close range at expense of a corner on 60 mins.

70 mins - Donnacha Daly came close with a header toward goal from a cross from conor mulvihill but it went over the crossbar.

Feenagh struck twice in the last 5 minutes to make it 3-0.

 

The 3-0 scoreline isn't a great reflection on the effort the lads put in tonight against a strong Feenagh outfit. It's been a season of some strong performances from the youths mixed in with some bad luck at stages of the Year. John McNamara, Don Hannon, Donnacha Daly and Fergal Fitzgerald have put a lot of effort and time in this year. On behalf of the club we would like to thank them and the youths for a very competitive season. Had luck gone their way on an occasion or two they would have secured silverware this season.

Team:

Darragh Mullane, Cillian Hannon, Shane Stack, Callum Buckley, Conor Fitzgerald (C), Fionn McNamara, Harry Fitzgerald, Callum Moriarty, Donnach Daly, Jack Adams, Conor Mulvihill, Mark Hannigan, Graham Mulcahy, Tom Clancy & Jim Culhane.

The work of Glin Rovers FC is based on the following principles that will guide the development of sport for young people in this club. Children and young people’s experience of soccer should be guided by what is best for the child or young person. The stages of development and the ability of the child should guide the types of activity provided within the club. Adults will need to have a basic understanding of the needs of young people, including physical, emotional and personal.

Integrity in relationships
Adults interacting with young people in soccer should do so with integrity and respect for the child. All adult actions in soccer should be guided by what is best for the child and in the context of quality, open working relationships. Verbal, physical, emotional or sexual abuse of any kind is unacceptable within soccer.

Quality atmosphere and ethos
Soccer for young people should be conducted in a safe, positive and encouraging atmosphere. A child centred ethos will help to ensure that competition and specialisation are kept in their appropriate place. Too often unhealthy competitive demands are placed on children too early and results in excessive levels of pressure on them and as a consequence, high levels of dropout from sport.


 

Equality
All children should be treated in an equitable and fair manner regardless of age, ability, sex, religion, social and ethnic background or political persuasion. Children with disability should be involved in sports activities in an integrated way, thus allowing them to participate to their potential alongside other children.

Fair Play
Fair play is the guiding principle of the Irish Sports Councils Code of Ethics and Good Practice for Children's Sport. It states that “all children’s sport should be conducted in an atmosphere of fair play”. Ireland has contributed and is committed to the European Code of Sports Ethics, which defines fair play as: “much more than playing within the rules”.
It incorporates the concepts of friendship, respect for others and always playing with the right spirit. Fair play is defined as a way of thinking, not just behaving. It incorporates issues concerned with the elimination of opportunities, excessive commercialisation and corruption.
(European Sports Charter and Code of Ethics, Council of Europe, 1993).

Competition
A balanced approach to competition can make a significant contribution to the development of young people, while at the same time providing fun, enjoyment and satisfaction. Coaches/managers should aim to put the welfare of the child first and competitive standards second. A child-centred approach will help to ensure that competition and specialisation are kept in their appropriate place.
