SUPER HANOVER HIT YOUGHAL FOR SEVEN
SFAI U15 Trophy 2022/23
Hanover Harps AFC 7, v Youghal United 0,
Sunday 26 February 2023 The Plots (Hanowver Harps)
St. Pats put on an impressive display vs Youghal United in the last 32 of the SFAI Trophy, ultimately winning 7-0.
The Pats team were highly motivated to secure a place in the last 16 and played with great intensity throughout the game. Mark Buggy and Zak Hernan controlled the midfield from the outset, and a piece of excellent play by Warrith Oyeniyi resulted in a penalty for Pats.
Mark Buggy converted the penalty to give the team a well-deserved 1-0 lead. Soon after, Buggy's fast footwork beat four Youghal players, and Warrith Oyeniyi scored to make it 2-0. Pat’s continued to dominate the game, and only some good defending from Youghal prevented them from scoring more.
Shane Gurhy was a standout performer in the Pat’s midfield, and Youghal United struggled to cope with his skill. In the last 10 minutes of the first half, Youghal started to get into the game a bit more, but the half ended with the Pats leading 2-0.
In the second half, the next goal was crucial, and it was Pat’s who found the net when Shane Gurhy scored a brilliant goal from 25 yards.
The introduction of Emily Kelly in the Pat’s midfield provided the team with more energy, and it wasn’t long before Callum O'Brien Murphy scored a lovely goal to make it 4-0. Youghal had a chance to get one back, but a through ball to their striker went narrowly wide.
Pat’s continued to attack relentlessly and scored three more goals. Ruari McEvoy scored a great header, Jamie Hyland scored with a powerful shot, and Eanna Dunican rounded off the performance with a lightning-fast lob over the goalkeeper. Final Score St Patrick’s Boys 7-0 Youghal United
Youghal United gave it everything they had but Pat’s were simply too strong on the day. It was an all-around great squad performance from St. Pats and they deservedly advanced to the last 16 of the SFAI Trophy.
