U16 B's Move Top of the Table   07/10/2014

Mervue Utd B 4 -2 Athenry B (Scorers; Alex Schmidt, Adam Connolly, Dems Henok, Aaron Connelly)

Mervue Utd's U-16 B team moved to the top of the table with a hard fought win in this Division two league match on Sunday afternoon. Mervue attacked from the start and opened the scoring with an excellent move involving Cian Dunleavy, Dems Henok and Daniel Corbett saw Adam Connolly pass to Adam Healy who went around two players to cross for Alex Schmidt to side foot past the Athenry goalkeeper for an excellent opening goal. 

Mervue almost increased their lead when Jordan Devery had a header blocked on the line. Adam Connolly scored the second when his 20 yard shot deceived the Athenry goalie. Mervue constantly attacked with full back Daniel Corbett (a 360 degree turn beating two players – a highlight of the first half) powering forward and the front three of Adam Healy, Adam Connolly and Alex Shmidt proving a constant menace. 

The Athenry goalkeeper made outstanding saves from Dems Henok and Adam Connolly with Alex Shmidt also volleying over. Mervue were also denied a blatant penalty after a foul on Daniel Corbett. Mervue conceded a soft goal just before half time and had to face a strong wind in the second half.

Mervue increase their lead in the second half with a good finish from Dems Henok after good work from Jordan Devery and Patrick Oyelola. They then conceded a soft goal from a corner. Mervue keeper Dylan Gallagher made an outstanding save and defenders Padraig Corcoran Daniel Healy and Bryan Healy held strong under pressure with good support from William Ikemna-Nwosa and Daniel Brennan. 

Dems Henok hit the post twice after good work from Ryan Meja. Mervue secured all three points when an excellent pass from Adam Healy put Aaron Conneely through and he calmly finish to the bottom corner. Some great football especially in the first half from this Mervue side
