Monday 24 April 2023 Hawkins Lane, Tullow (Parkville United)
Parkville entertained Vale and from the start they had great chances to take the lead with
shots just going wide from Ryan Jennings and Max O Donoghue.
Parkville continued to ictate the game with another chance just going over the bar from Jordie Coughlan. In the 15 th min and against the run of play Vale broke from midfield and Rhys O Toole made it 1-0
to the away side. Parkville went to another gear and Dara Murphy found Oran Alcock in the
15 th min to fire home the equaliser. Parkville continued to attack with Jennings hitting the
crossbar and Donoghue going close with the rebound. In the 22min Bradley Stynes went
route one with his kick out and Oran Alcock rounded the Vale goalie and passed to Max
O’Donoghue to calmly slot it home to make it 2-1 at H/T.
Parkville continued to attack and 10 mins into the 2nd half Dennis Fitzgerald found Cody
Doyle who rounded the goalie and tapped it in to make it 3-1.
With 10mins to play and some scrappy play out from defence Vale were awarded a penalty which was calmly slotted
home by Bill Hayden to make it 3-2.
Vale pushed for the equaliser but the Parkville lads
defended like their lives depended on it. F/T score Parkville 3-2 Vale.

Under 16 Girls League 2022/23
Vale Wanderers AFC 1, St Fiaccs AFC 1,
Monday 24 April 2023 Hawkins Lane, Tullow (Parkville United)
This evening saw the top two teams in the girls U16 league go head-to-head in the
Super Bowl. Going into the game Vale just needed a point to clinch the league and St
Fiaccs needed the win to keep their hopes alive.
The game started very tense with some nerves on view. St Fiaccs started very well and
played some nice football. Vale gradually grew into the game and after some nice
passing Kate Burke broke free and, one on one with the keeper, slotted home to give
Vale the lead. The rest of the 1st half was very even but St Fiaccs showed some
determination and got a deserved equalizer when Ashlee Smith drove the ball home.
Score at half time Vale 1-1 St Ficcs.
The 2nd half was a very tense affair. Vale showed a lot more composure and were
pushing for the winner. With 20 minutes left Kate Burke broke feee again and looked like
she was going to get her second only for her shot to rattle the post. St Fiaccs had their
chances and played some really good football, especially down the right wing.
With 10 minutes left, Vale had a corner with captain Moya O’ Toole nearly wrapping up
the points, with a deft header which came back off the post, to the dismay of the Vale
supporters. The last 10 minutes were nerve racking for both teams and St Fiaccs never
gave up and pushed Vale hard. On the final whistle the Vale line erupted with relief as
the draw secured the league title for the Vale girls. Final score Vale Wanderers 1-1 St
Fiaccs.
It was an immense effort from both teams and they are a credit to the game!
Best for St Fiaccs were Orla Keating, Leah Nelson and Ashlee Smith.
Best for Vale were the whole team who gave absolutely everything, remaining unbeaten
throughout the entire league campaign and are deserving champions.

Hanover Harps AFC 2, St Patrick’s Boys AFC Red 1,
Tuesday 25 April 2023 The Plots (Hanover Harps)
Hanover went top of the table with two games to play after their second win in a week over
St Pat's Red in The Plots on Tuesday evening. The home team started brightly and the first
twenty minutes was played in the St Pats half of the pitch. The away team defended well
and finally began to launch a few attacks. From one break they were awarded a free kick,
the ball was lifted over the home defence and Brian Santos finished at the back post.
Hanover were stunned for a few minutes but got themselves back on top but a combination
of good defending and wayward finishing saw it remain 0-1 at the break.
The second half continued in the same vein with St Pat's dangerous on the break and
Hanover struggling to break through. The equaliser came from a corner when good
movement saw Eoin Ryan rise and glance a header into the bottom corner. As the intensity
rose it looked like the game was heading for a draw, especially after a Sam McHugh goal
was ruled out for offside. In the final minute Hanover got the win they deserved when a
great ball over the full back saw Aaron Cunningham Burke beat the onrushing keeper with a
brave header to silence the away supporters and take the 3 points. Full-time score Hanover
2-1 St Pats.
For Hanover Leon Fitzgerald, Sean Hayden, Dermot Lawlor and Lander Fernandes were
outstanding.
Good team performance from St Pats.

Vale Wanderers AFC 0, St Joseph’s AFC 2,
Wednesday 26 April 2023 Superbowl Leighlinbridge (Vale Wanderers)
The curtain came down on Vale's Div2 team's league season with a 0-2 home defeat. Seán
McNally and Alex Reid grabbed the all-important goals for a determined St Joseph's side.
Vale had a number of opportunities to grab a goal or two themselves but the final ball or
finish let them down. Luke Honeyball made a number of saves in the Vale goal while the
Joey's keeper and defence combined to keep out Bill Hayden, Frankie Doyle, Romeo Sithibe
and Conor Ryan.
A good Vale performance was spearheaded by the efforts of Josh Dermody and Ethan
Chambers and a backline of Emily Hennessy, Rhys O'Toole and Zach Dermody who were all
playing together for the first time.
St Josephs gave a very good team performance with Michael Breen in a starring role.

New Oak AFC 0, Burrin Celtic AFC 1,
Thursday 27 April 2023 Burrin Road (New Oak)
Good game between these two sides. End to end football which saw the game finish
scoreless at half time.
The second half started brightly and after ten minutes Burrin broke through the New Oak
defence and Eimear Bolger found the back of the net with a fantastic strike. New Oak piled
on the pressure but the Burrin defence held out which saw the game end 0-1 to Burrin.
Fantastic display of football from all the Burrin & New Oak girls. And a great amount of
respect for both sets of girls for each other.
Looking forward to next season.

well hit free kick. Nurney did well to stay in the game for long periods but it was Parkville
who continued to add the pressure and were 2 up when Tomas Doran hit a great strike from
outside the box over the keepers head and into the goal. Adrian Plonka continued his fine

St Patrick’s Boys AFC 0, Hanover Harps AFC Green 5,
Saturday 29 April 2023 The Meadows, Graiguecullen (St Pat’s Boys)
Hanover Harps travelled to The Meadows to play St Pats in this u14 cup game. Both teams
would have fancied their chances before the game. Hanover hit the ground running in this
game and took the lead after only 5 mins on the clock. Credit to St Pats they were finding
some space on the left wing when Leon Doyle came very close to making it 1-1. Hanover
soon doubled their lead and went in 2-0 at the break.
St Pats were on the attack after the break but could not convert their chances. Hanover
completely dominated from here on in and went on to score a further three second half
goals. They were by far the better team and played some decent football.
Best for St Pats were Leon Doyle, Daragh McEvoy, Thomas Lawler & Ryan Doody.
Under 16 Cup 2022/23
Hanover Harps AFC 5, Crettyard United AFC 0,
Saturday 29 April 2023 The Plots (Hanover Harps)
Hanover advanced to the next round of the cup after a win against a very understrength
Crettyard in The Plots on Saturday morning. The home team opened the scoring with a
lofted finish from TJ Brennan. The game was very even through the first half in very warm
sunshine. Half time 1-0 to the home team.
The next goal was important and Daire Byrne got it for Hanover with a good finish. Crettyard
tired in the heat and the lack of numbers told as first Leon Fitzgerald and then Aaron
Cunningham Burke with two goals, one a strike from distance saw the home team through.
Final score was a 3-0 win for Hanover.
Thanks to the Hanover Under 15 lads for stepping up.
A good team performance from a young Crettyard side.

St Patrick’s Boys AFC Red 4, Bagenalstown AFC 0,
Saturday 29 April 2023 The Meadows, Graiguecullen (St Pats Boys)
On a day with ideal conditions for football, the home side started very brightly and forced
an early save in the first minute. With the home side continuing to press the early pressure
was rewarded on 8 minutes. A neatly worked corner kick between Jayden Kelly and Chris
Morabane, with Kelly sprinting into the box and driving the ball across goal for a tap in by
Kacper Zarzycki. The away side battled on however all the play was coming from the home
side and they could count themselves unfortunate not to add to their score before the end
of the half. Score at half-time Pats 1-0 Bagenalstown.
The second half followed in much the same pattern as the first with the home side pressing
on. On 46 minutes Zarzycki was on hand again to finish into the net. He completed his
hattrick with a brilliant individual goal ten minutes from time. There was time to add to the
scoreline before fulltime with another goal of high quality, with Jan Flejszar finishing low to
the keepers left. Final score Pats 4-0 Bagenalstown.
The home side move on to the next round of the competition and were full value in doing
so.

Bagenalstown AFC 2, St Annes AFC 1
Saturday 29 April 2023 McGrath Park Bagenalstown
A very exciting game played out in the McGrath Park, a credit to both groups of players who
were both playing other competitions throughout the weekend but still managed to play a
great game. The home team took the lead in the first half from a well worked free kick ended
with a fine finish from Jake Slavatecki. H/T Bagenalstown 1-0 St Annes.
Into the second half and both teams missed some good chances before St Annes got their
equaliser from a corner. The game ended 1-1 so extra time was needed. Both teams continued
to press hard but the game was decided when Ben Kelly got through the St Annes defence
and finished spectacularly into the top corner. Final score (aet) Bagenalstown 2-1 St Annes.
Best for Bagenalstown were Kyle O'Brien, Finnan Nolan and Alex Doyle.

dangerous Kate Burke, who is having a wonderful season in front of goal. The first-half finished 2-0
to Vale.
In the 2nd half, it was the turn of Vale's Alice Hickey to step up to the plate and grab herself a brace
of goals, which were excellently put away. 4-0 to Vale. The Vale back line kept things tight all game
through due to the hard work of Abbie Meaney and Co. The match ended 4-0 which put Vale
